Merry 2011

"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."  ~Oprah Winfrey

I hope everyone had an amazing New Years!! Most of mine was spent sleeping and recovering from a head cold, however I was able to make it out for NYE festivities in a spectacular new top!!  A little back story to the blouse featured below: I was thrifting with my mom and we have a little habit of finding hideous things and suggesting them to each other. From accross the store I spotted this very loud blue blouse and traversed a sea of fellow thrifters to get to it. Once I came upon this spectacular canvas filled with sequins, I thought to myself, "I could pull this off."  My mother laughed at me, but after years of witnessing my fashion choices, she's a believer. Let me know what you think of this 100% pure silk top?!? This whole outfit cost only $24.50, what a great start to the new year!!
