Orange and black

Good day everybody! This morning I got this vintage jacket out of my coat closet and I discovered a little larva looking thing on it, Mr. Google said it was a moth, I had never seen moths but the tiny hole on this jacket led me to believe it was and sure enough I was right so now I have to find a way to get rid of them before they eat my vintage coats away. On another subject today we had a discussion at lunch about writing about work on blogs or facebook, I read about the teacher who was fired for writing about work on her blog last week. Too bad now I can't say how much I love to work at my school! Woops! I didn't write that.
I thrifted these shoes for $1.75 and I've had them over a year, the bad part is that this is the first time I'm wearing them.
Outfit Details:
Shirt: thrifted
Cashmere sweater: thrifted
Skirt: Express/ old
Necklaces: F21

Oh, I love the color scheme of the sweater! It looks great with the red-orange color underneath. And I'm glad you are finally wearing the shoes! :)

You are too cute! Just wanted to say hi to a fellow remixer, and tell you that I love Jesus too! I'm also a Christian, and modesty is really important to me. Way to be a light in this world!

Hi, Shey,
I'm sorry I haven't been leaving comments. I have been VERY busy at school and my lack of blog posts/internet time has been minimal!!

Nice jacket! To get rid of moths, I put the garment in the freezer for a day to kill the eggs, then hang it outside in the daylight just to make sure. Moths hate bright light, after all. Hope this helps!

I like this non Halloweenish combo of orange and black.

You should try cedar blocks around your closet, they keep moths away :)

Please don't let that beautiful vintage jacket get destroyed!! This outfit has to be on my favorite list! Love IT!! :)


ps. The teacher was from PA and her comments weren't that bad. :/

I know I already commented, but I wanted to comment about the blogger/teacher thing.

I get worried about my "teaching" blog. I think I'm just going to stop blogging in it altogether, or not make it public. eek. That's so unfortunate about the teacher, though!
