Black and White and Red All Over

Well I have to say, even though it's chilly, at least the sun is out!  I hear some warmer weather is coming as soon as tomorrow though, so there is hope for spring!

I realized this cute little jacket hasn't really seen much love on the blog yet even though I have actually worn it a few times. I picked it up at the two birds garage sale in December, it reminded me of the Beatles Sgt. Peppers era.  And I haven't worn my red pants in awhile, so I thought I'd pull them out.  I love that they are jeans and I can get away with wearing them to work in the middle of the week!

Jacket - F21 via two birds garage sale
Shirt - Gap, thrifted
Pants - Old Navy
Necklace/Earrings - Camy Couture
Shoes - SO, Kohls 


I found this necklace while shopping in Stillwater with some friends, we popped in a cute little boutique called Camy Couture and they were having a mega winter clearance.  This necklace wasn't one of the clearanced items, but I thought it closely resembled the white bubble necklace on my wish list, so it came home with me.  I felt it was a bonus that it had earrings with it too!


And speaking of Camy Couture, I found out late yesterday I won a giveaway from Jasmine's Cute N Comfy blog and the prize is three surprise items from Camy Couture - what a coincidence!  I'm excited to see what she sends me.  The timing could not be better - The Pants Monkey and I just learned of some major plumbing work we're going to have to have done very soon that will be spendy - so I may be curbing the shopping again.  Sigh.  I don't know that I'm necessarily putting myself back on the ban, but I am going to have to really stick to a budget.  Long story short, finding out I won the giveaway really helped a rather crappy day yesterday.  And so did some homemade tacos and margaritas.....

  2. Awesome jacket Beth! It is a little St. Pepper inspired. It looks great paired with the red pants. Congrats on your win of the giveaway. At least it helped damper your bad news about the plumbing a bit. Heather

  10. I love this look so much!! What a nice silhouette on you with the short jacket and skinny pants. You look great. Ugh, I haven't been shopping either since we're looking for a house right now. Hope your plumbing issue isn't too bad! That's a bummer. Congrats on winning the giveaway though-what a nice surprise!

  12. Oh applause, applause, applause! BETHIE! I lovelovelove this entire outfit. I love the way the b&w plays off the red and the jacket is tremendous with it's button flaps and the stripes and the piece de resistance = the NECKLACE!!!!! This is better than a bubble necklace. [have I mentioned I am sooooo tired of those?]this one is more unique and down-right beautiful. Am I done gushing over your outfit? okay. hahahaha

  16. Homemade tacos and margaritas should always make you feel better. :) Shopping bans can be so hard to stick to! I definitely like the idea of a limited budget instead...it's so much easier for me!
