Glen plaid + festival blue, and mixing old and new

Glen-plaid blazer with sash:  Ann Taylor, old
Wool No. 2 pencil skirt in festival blue: J.Crew, fall 2012
Polka dot ruffle top:  J.Crew, 2009
Black boots:  Ann Taylor
These early morning photos with the blinding sun shining in my eyes are just not flattering.  Eeps!  But I wanted to show you this OOTD because I like when I wear the older items in my cloest.  It reminds me time and again that I don't always need something new.  It's such a tempting time of year, with all of the post-holiday sales beaconing, isn't it?   I actually feel a little guilty and shopped out right now. 

What about you?  Are you shopping out are do post-holiday sales not your thing?

    Great post --- yes I am shopped out at least for this month. Post fiscal cliff taxes are going to take a bite out of my pockets for a while so it's definitely time for me to shop my own closet or bargain hunt at a thrift store!

      A plaid blazer is always worth breaking the shopping ban! :)

    Gorgeous outfit! -- Although I need to "shop my closet" more I did some recent shopping at J. Crew yesterday because they had some really great markdowns. Actually, yesterday I bought the same exact skirt you are wearing today in your post!
