Moto Meeting

I would have posted earlier this Thanksgiving long weekend but I've been too busy recuperating from cake and turkey being thankful.  I'm thankful for so many things, not the least of which is getting to spend time with amazing people having fun shopping like I did last Thursday night at Fashion's Night Out.  And hey, I'm pretty thankful for the little things too like the $15 Simon Chang knit moto jacket I scored at FNO that I finally got to wear today to meet yet another smart savvy business woman for lunch (more on that another time).

 I am thankful for you, Moto.

 

 This is me trying to have "moto cred."

I don't really know what that is, but I'm 99% sure I'll never have it.

I wanted to put together a completely thrifted outfit for this meeting.  In the midst of Value Village Halloween frenzy, I want people to remember that VV Boutique is still the place to get stylish pieces in great condition at low prices to put together any look, from casual to corporate.

Simon Chang moto jacket $15

Liz Claiborne dress $11

Bow belt $2.10

Pointy flats $7

Bracelets $3 and $2

Necklaces $2 and $1

Total: $43.10

I liked how this outfit came together; the contrast of the ladylike belt and the "tough" jacket. 

 

 Looks like I inadvertently accessorized to match the leaves.

But the best part of these pieces is the fabric - structured and tailored, yet soft and comfortable.  Exactly what you need after a weekend of 2 turkey dinners, 1 birthday party, 3 cakes and pie. 

 You'd never know I gained 75lbs this weekend.
