Ms. Ron Burgundy

At the beginning of last year I made a promise to be persistent with this blog (well actually the promise was to just do something with the blog).  I am very proud of what Something Old, Something New has become, and going into the new year I am super excited about the things that are to come for the blog.

Because it has been soooooo cold outside its been quite difficult for me to get outfit shots, but this week I braved the weather and took advantage of the little sunshine.  My lovely new skirt is what inspired me to definitely take pictures. Coming in at $3.99 from my local Goodwill, my skirt was a super deal.  I especially love the detailing at the waist with the 2 gold buttons.

Modern Culture

This post is all about this amazing vintage tunic I swapped from my mom.  My mom recently had an amazing weight loss, so alot of her clothing she is either tailoring or donating. While at the seamstress, I saw this beautiful number come out the bag for alterations...that wasn't happening.  I had to have it, as is for myself.  Mom gave it to me and she keep the matching maxi skirt for herself. So now on Mother/ Daughter Day we can dress alike!!!  I wore it oversized with a cardigan, and I belted it for a different look.  Which do you prefer??

lol:)

Sunshine, Fuchsia & Shift (Part 2)

Recently I did a semi outfit remix with a few pieces from this outfit.  The first outfit (here) included a very short and edgy leather pleated skirt, but I realized I really couldn't get much wear out of it in  my everyday life (basically, I only go to church and work, lol).  So I wanted to change up the look a bit, with a more practical piece like my black shift dress.
