New Fall Attire

I spent today getting my wardrobe ready for Fall and the new season coming up.
I spent to day organizing my clothing getting ready for Fall. I have filled a bag of
older clothes for Goodwill, I have a stash to list on Ebay and put the white jeans away
for another year. After my organizing, I ran over to TJ Maxx to look for some new accessories
and ended up with a cart full of goodies.
A pretty Vince Camuto Scarf, a Nanette Lepore wallet, Hue Tights in Purple and Black.
I picked up some new boots, I needed a black pair and a brown pair to replace old ones
that were either too worn or not comfortable to wear.

The brown are Unisa and very sporty with the buckle and the quilted back.
The black pair are Carlos Carlos Santana and will be prefect for work.
I also picked up some good traditional basics to help update my wardrobe. The plaid
vest is by British Khaki.
And the jeans are incredible, I tried on every jean in my drawer and eliminated the bad
ones from the good and added these three. I have found that what I feel the most  comfortable
in are super high rise and super skinny stretch jeans.
These will be the perfect colors for Fall, black, brown and denim by d. jeans. It feels
good to do a cleanse with my wardrobe and have a few new things to start out my transition
to a new season. We went from 90 degree days to the 60's, cold and a huge storm getting ready
to hit us, hello storm Florence.

Chairs, Chairs and More Chairs

Last week while working at Queen City Marketplace, I saw this beautiful
corner chair and bought it and brought it home.
I am a sucker for a corner chair, this one has been painted and has nice fabric
on the seat, but not in my colors. So I have picked some fabrics to try on the seat
and will reupholster it.
I moved the slipper chair in the guest room to my dressing room, i sold my pretty
Schumacher slipper chair that was in there on Ebay by accident, forgot it was still listed.
I also had a hefty  price on it and had it on there like for ever. I brought one home from
my space, see previous post, but it is too wobbly and needs some work.
Good fit!
I found a beautiful little chair out at The Factory a couple of weeks ago and had Laurie and
Andrew reupholster it in a fabric sample of a line I no longer carry. I found the trim at Robert
Allen's outlet. I love how it turned out.

This is a beautiful Federal Style chair with brass details, it fills a space in my
dining room where I had a Victorian bamboo chair I had in my kitchen that I also
sold on Ebay. Is there a lesson to learn here?

I also found this cute purse at TJ MAXX by Nenette Lepore for my August purse of
the month.
