Southern Scraps

Happy Hump Day! We're  half way through the week and it's time to link up with Lindsey at the Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday. She's now issuing more than just a challenge to get dressed every day. This week was to wear something thrifted. I have a few things I've thrifted and I must say it's quite fun to find great deals. I also continued the last challenge of wearing something rarely worn as Yellow Blackbird had issued the same challenge for Shop Your Closet . Saturday I had a hair appointment and later we went to dinner. What I wore: sweater, tank, shorts- Target; shoes- JCPenny;  purse- Tommy Hilfiger- THRIFTED $4.99! I bought these clothes two or three years ago and wore them a lot the first year, but haven't worn them lately. I had not worn the shoes at all this year. I would not own a Tommy Hilfiger purse if it had not been found at the Salvation Army. Sunday- church Dress- Gap via Goodwill. Shoes- target I found this dress at the Good...

I made another wrap bracelet! This one is similar to this one at Henry Happened .  Instead of two pieces of cord, I used three and the chain. I just held the chain with one of my pieces of cord as if it were one strand and braided.

Last week Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy challenged everyone to wear something we never wear or something old in a new way. That's a good challenge that I try to do from time to time, and I still had some things in my closet that needed to be worn. Jacket and pants: Worthington/ JCPenny; shirt - Ross; shoes- TJMaxx; necklace-vintage/ ebay; bracelet- made by me

I'm not a huge fan of headbands. I like them and get compliments on the rare occasions that I wear them, but I'm just not comfortable wearing them. When I do wear them, I like simple ones. I admire the girls who can wear the elaborate ones but I think I'm too old for those. Here are some I've come across that fit my style and are on my list of things to make.

It's Friday again. I hope you are discovering lots of great shops from these features and taking note for the upcoming holiday season. Today I'd like to introduce to you Nicole and The Lovely Poppy .
