I'm having a love affair with sweatshirts {see my last Thrifty Threads: Sweatshirt Chic post}. This is pretty strange for me because I normally think of sweatshirts as being frumpy and sloppy. But I've seen the error of my ways.
So when I came across a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt at the press preview for the Housing Works Buy the Bag shop in Brooklyn, I knew I had to have it. And when I looked at the label, I realized it was vintage! Not bad seeing as how it cost about $1 {a bag full of clothing is just 25 bucks and I was able to stuff about 20 pieces in a singel bag}.

As much as I love to dress up, I hate to admit that leggings are my go-to threads when I'm having a casual day. From black to brown to lime green, I have them in every color. They're ultra comfy and pair well with a chunky sweater or layered shirts.
But leggings can also be kind of blah and boring. Or at least that's what I thought until I came across a pair of Union Jack leggings.
It was love at first sight when I saw them online at Delia's.
