Estate Sale Prada

This Prada bag flew into my hands at an estate sale this summer. It was half price day and the estate sale staff continued to come down on the price until I was embarrassed to say “no.” So I was obligated to buy it and here it is hanging off The Style Crone’s shoulder in front of a brilliant bed of flowers. Fall is in the air!

I am thrilled to be ready for the approaching holiday season in @wolfandbadger. The embellished red kaftan and stunning gold silk turban will make a splash for any event, and the white architectural overlay is perfect for a New Year’s Eve look. I love how the details on the sleeves provide drama and beauty.

I’m finally having space to go through photos and reliving the fabulous time that I’ve had at the book signings for Advanced Pets, the magical new book by @advancedstyle. I was ecstatic to see Arlinda @funkingafter50 at the festive launch party in NYC. It was all captured by @advancedstyle at the moment that we saw each other! I was captivated by Arlinda’s bow headpiece and everything that she wore to the party! Photo and video by @advancedstyle

It snowed the past few days❄️ Lots of snow, which cancelled schools and events across the city. It made me nostalgic for “winters past.” Here are some favorites over the years!

Formula for Flying! It’s been a travel season for me over the past few months, and I came to realize that I have a strategy for✈️. I usually choose a comfortable monochromatic background and embellish with a hat, shawl/scarf, and jewelry to add color and visual energy that pleases me. It’s boot season, so that category is always a fun addition!

My color choices for this trip fall into the red/orange/black arena. The vibrant shawl is a momento from my recently dearly departed friend. I’m taking her with me on this adventure. Thank you Mr J for the video❤️🧡🖤

The jacket rescue! I recently discovered this vintage jacket at the @brassarmadillo, an antique mall in Denver. I fell in love! However, it had stains, so I purchased it at a reduced price, excited about possibly of solving its imperfections.

I had the jacket dry cleaned, removing most of the background discoloration. I was disappointed that small light beige stains remained splashed across several areas of the fabric.

I consulted with an expert at an art store, and he recommended dying the jacket another color, which would cover the stains. I thought fuchsia could be a possibility.

I decided to wear it for a photo shoot before the dye job. The stains aren’t noticeable from a distance. During the shoot I decided to keep the jacket white and black. The stains are barely noticeable, and its beauty deserves a new life! I will celebrate the jacket as is; old and flawed like me.

Have you ever rescued a piece of clothing, preventing it from possibly ending up in a landfill? Video by @daniel_a_nolan
