{who what WEAR wednesday}

this weeks wardrobe was pretty simple, yet sleek and functional. I wore this to work at the studio and I was completely comfortable building displays...and then on to lunch with the girls..followed up by carpooling the kiddies...then toting them around to errands, dance, etc. and I still got complements from Mr. Quinn when he arrived home!  This is a function ensemble with a bit of flare and some kick....WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK!


THE LOOK.....

 

and it's kind-of cute too eh?

vintage flannel... uhhh....

 I might have mis-spelled flannel in the photo caption above--- just overlook it mmm-kay?  because REALLY?...how many times do you actually spell flannel in your life ..pretty sure I NEVER had such a word in school spelling lists....plus it's really late as I type this...everyone one in my house-hold  has been in bed for hours including the dog..... the dishwasher is humming me  a sweet little lullaby, the washer and dryer are joining in with strings and percussion.... while I still have work to do --- my computer hardrive insists on singing harmony....SO back to the:

shirt (local thrift shop men's section) $1.00

(similar HERE

&  HERE)

 

.....but I really recommend checking out the men's section at your local thrift shops... or even sneaking into your dads, brothers, cousins? grandfathers closets!!! lol

 

sequin tank (target clearance) $4.54

similar --not quite as cheap but--maybe even cuter one shown HERE

old navy jeans $29.50 (used a Christmas gift card from the GAP = FREE

 HERE

 

 

My sweet sis-in-law hand-knit me these boot cuffs as a gift for Christmas ( I PUFFY HEART handmade gifts!--THEY ARE THE BEST!)

 These boots are an old Christmas gift (I begged for) from Mr. Quinn-- and that was at least 12 years ago.  Let me say: first off: I'm not getting paid to say this--and secondly-- I'm a bit of a Steve Madden fan.

I am on my feet all day and I'm kinda in love that he makes practical-yet stylish shoes because otherwise I'd be in my tennis shoes or UGGS all day everyday.
(obviously  my splurge is footwear...but us busy gals just can't get things done when your feet hurt am I right?)

Because my boots here are so old...yet in great shape...it's also an awesome testament to how well Mr Madden's shoes hold up!

I couldn't find my boot style available any longer...but you can find similar ones HERE  & HERE

...and now to a minor (yet major) detail......

Free People January from FreePeople on Vimeo.

The January catalog for free people is out! I absolutely LOVE this boutique, especially their Vintage Collections. They find some of the most fascinating things! Sadly, they sell them rather quick...but it's still fun to look at. Also, they are a bit more than I like to spend but I shop the sales and I sometimes try and make a game of it by studying the items and then looking for similar pieces when I'm at local thrift and antique shops. One of the things things my Granny taught me to do was to shop right and dress appropriate....so it's fitting that I want to play around here on Rambling Lane with a WARDROBE WEDNESDAY. I'll be posting my wardrobe for the day along with photos and details like where I got it and how much I spent...cool huh! I'm sure I'll pull some fashion no-no's. Perhaps it will inspire you to explore deeper into your closet and create some diversity to your wardrobe too!
