I stopped at the dry cleaners this week, because I stop at the dry cleaners every week. I probably spend $250-$300 a month on dry cleaning, so my dry cleaners, Judy and Patty, love me. :-) Anyway, not everyone is as conscientious a customer as I am, and sometimes they just leave their clothes at the dry cleaners, unclaimed. After about a year, Judy and Patty hang these abandoned clothes out front for other customers to buy.

And so I did. I bought a gorgeous off-white cotton damask three-piece suit, a black evening suit with bugle bead trim on the jacket, a plain black skirt (you just can't have too many), a white lace-trimmed cotton top, and a cream cotton top. All for 24 bucks.

And so, this morning, I wore my new off-white suit to church. It has a knee-length straight skirt, a boxy jacket with 3/4 sleeves, and a simple collar. I accessorized it with a black knit shell, cream slingbacks, vintage oversized black/silvertone pendant, vintage moonglow black lucite bangle, vintage Mr. John black/white hat, and vintage black vinyl clasp bag with faux lace-up details. It made a pretty striking ensemble.

I'll try to take a couple of pics.
