My sister's closet

Growing up, my favorite place to shop was my sister's closet.  My favorite outfits were always her.  She was always so great to share her clothes with me even those she hadn't worn herself yet.  Perhaps, that was to keep the peace - I wasn't the easiest 13 year old. 

 I fell in love with this vintage piece at Poser's.  The color is what caught my attention first.  The denim was a must and the vintage necklace stole the show.

 This look is a wee bit out of my comfort zone, but I totally loved it.  The shoes are also vintage!

 My favorite find of all was this vintage camera--the stories it could tell.

 So my sis live miles away now a days, but she shares her clothes with her two daughters.  Thankfully, I have Poser's Place to shop!  

 What's in your sister's closet?

handbag, bursa, carryall, clutch, moneybag, purse- what's in yours

 I remember the days when my "bursa" carried Cheerios, hotwheels, crayons, paper, books, and diapers.  Today, I carry a little cash (it is never there long as one of our teenagers always needs it) lip gloss, lotion, vaseline, a snack for who knows who, hair bands, and a book (something to read while I am waiting for one of them).  

 I have expanded my "handbag" collection thanks to Just Fab.  This purse has received a lot of compliments.  It is totally not something I would have chosen a few years ago, but it is now one of my FAVES!  It can be paired with both classy and casual looks.  I love it especially when I want spring to come!

 The fact is the contents of your purse says a lot about both you and your personality.  Are you conscientious or casual?  Me, I am a little of both.  I was probably more conscientious when my "Five" were little.  But my clutches weren't nearly as cute as they are today!

Julene's hangbag is vintage.  I love its size- it doesn't feel like a burden!  The purse I love most is my grandmother's vintage red hand bag.  It's classy and timeless.  It will be KEPT forever!

Ivani- why shop vintage?

 While I love online boutiques, I also love the one of a kind looks I can find shopping vintage.  Our monthly date to Poser's Place on Main was focused on Valentine red.  Ivani Found this perfect trench (which in fact she beat me to and bought it first- not bitter at all).  She paired it with this "must have hat" and amazing heels.  Love the look Ivani!

 Here are a few reasons why we here at KEPT like shopping vintage....
l.  Shopping vintage is "Green" shopping.  It is the funnest kind of recycling ever- plus it makes you feel good.  Save the earth and shop!
2.  It's a great way to be frugal.  Simply put, you are not paying the price of a newly manufactured garment- Saving money and shopping- Fabulous!
3.Vintage shopping is classy and timeless.
4.  Shopping vintage is a treasure hunt and the result is a quality product.
5. And Ta Da, you won't run into someone wearing your "Look."
                                 Love, Love, Vintage!

 So go ahead and brag a little---- Go Vintage- a one of a kind "green" quality look that doesn't cost a fortune and is classy and timeless!  I'm in.... join the team!

Valentine Vintage

 The joy of going Vintage is that you just never know what treasures you will find.  Friday afternoon the sun was actually sparkling in our little Southern Utah town and so we escaped to play....  Julene found this perfect Valentine dress!  Paired with the vintage cowboy boots and turquoise necklace, Julene is 100% vintage!

 Heather at Poser's Place was the perfect host and fashion consultant.  She has an eye for "treasures."  We enjoyed our time together and the sunshine.  We were lucky because last night our same little town was hit by a blizzard- a 16 inch blizzard.  The schools closed for the first time in 61 years- wowser!

Sometimes, you just have to get out and shake it up a little.  I wonder what Miss Meenal Mistry from the Washington Journal would say about our Valentine Find?

                               Happy Valentine's!  XO, KEPT

To January, with Love WInnie James

 The cold door of January is about to close leaving a little bit of "Happy" from one of my favorite on line boutiques- Love Winnie James.  This perfect t shirt and jean look never tires and with spring not far off- I want it, Please!

I must admit, I put myself on a fiscal freeze for January.  After all the Christmas shopping for our five kiddos, I kind of felt well like I over ate a "Thanksgiving" meal.  With only two days left, I am trying hard to hold out, but this "Emma" dress leaves me drooling!

Thanks Winnie James for your "Happy"  January look!

 So for all you t shirt lovers, here is a little t-shirt trivia.  The "t shirt"  first surfaced in the united states right around the time of the Spanish American War and was meant to worn as underwear beneath the U.S. Navy uniform.  This inexpensive t shirt became the perfect choice for mothers to put on their sons for outdoor play and chores for the day.  The army soon adopted it and it quickly caught on as a staple in the American wardrobe.... more trivia to come and definitely more of mini & ME!
