Yard Sale Couture

Don't hate us because we're beautiful!! 

The day started at a nippy 35 degrees. I had on khakis with legging underneath, a long sleeve tee, a long sleeve shirt, a jacket, a scarf, a hat, and gloves. I was COLD! But this is Georgia. If you don't like the weather, give it five minutes. It wasn't long until I got rid of the gloves, then the coat. A little later, the leggings had to go. By the end of the day, I had my pants rolled up above my knees and had pulled a sleeveless shirt from the sale pile and put it on! Only in Georgia can you get a sunburn in November!

Lise started the day much like any other day, with a Coke and a smile. Who doesn't?! She started out with a sweater and 2 long sleeve shirts and by the end of the day had her pants rolled up and a short sleeve tee!

Coke makes everything better!
I'm getting my Glee audition ready! (Don't you love the old school Tretorns?!)

End of the day
I told you it got hot!

 We had a good day, though. We laughed that we actually MADE money together rather than SPEND money together!  We sold a lot of our stuff, practically gave some away and donated the rest to Goodwill!

How has your weekend been?

  1. I Love the pictures. It is so funny to see us all bundled up and a few hours later we were ready to strip down!!! But, how cool that we made money together....that we now need to go spend?

  8. you both are FAB!
    you'll seem like so much fun. wish i was your neighbor!
    Lise Marie, I'm glad you liked my preppy look. i actually thought of you when i was putting it together b/c i have a lace collar kind of like your daughters and wanted to wear it with the cardi, but my collar needs to be fixed up a bit before i wear it.
    can't wait to see your cardi you mentioned.

  9. ByeByeSoccerMom (We DO need to be neighbors because the cardi isn't going to be a problem. But,I need you here to SHOW me how to make the belt!!! The lion necklace/belt that you wore for date night is soooo cute, and I am pretty sure mine would NEVER look that goood. I know you can click a link and see how to make it. Trust me, it won't look as cute. lol
