Gouchos and Prairie Skirts and Ruffles, Oh My!

Last night I attended a dinner/auction to benefit a local AIDS organization in town. I always skip these events as the cost of the tickets, babysitter plus buying "something to wear" is prohibitive - to me anyway because I'm cheap. However, some good friends treated us to the event, so I only had to shoulder two out of three expenses.

On Thursday I hit an upscale department store for an outfit. I'm not a fashion Diva by any means. I prefer my jeans, button up shirt and my mules to just about anything else, however somewhere between entering the store and taking my next breath it hit me. Oh Todo, I thought, we're not in Asheville anymore. Gouchos and prairie Skirts and Ruffles, oh my! Gouchos and prairie and Ruffles, OH MY!!

Off to see the Wizard, and quick, before the wicked department store turns me into Laura Ingles Wilder or Grandma.

I decided to wear what was in my closet instead, so I only had to pay for the sitter. Told you I was cheap.

If you're like me and you keep clothes for long enough, they come back in style--I still have long, ruffled skirts from high school!

I like the new template, W.

Cheap, but never trashy...

And the gouchos I had were purple (out of my love for Donny Osmond)...
