Pink and Burgundy

Recently, while on a little getaway with the Mister, we decided to do a bit of thrifting.  You know how being in a different town, you always hope you might find something that your local thrift store doesn't have.  So, we spent one day of our getaway, just wandering around to different thrift stores and I found several items that I will be sharing with you in future posts.

Today, I wanted to show you this lovely wool skirt that I got for $3.00.  It is a deep burgundy color, or maybe a cross between a burgundy and aubergine - I can't really decide. Its a lovely, long length that is so hard to find these days in a modern store and even though its not vintage, I feel like it lends itself nicely to a 30s or 40s style.  Or to borrow a phrase from my friend, Jessica, of Chronically Vintage, it is vintage appropriate.

I paired it with a light pink blouse with a pussy bow and glammed it up a bit with a faux pearl bracelet and brooch.   The shoes you've seen before here and here.
