OK so my girl friend and I hit the consignment store&#8211; don&#8217;t ask WOMEN right? The boyz are watching Super Bowl for us, we&#8217;ll be back for the commercials. =} I&#8217;m surely going to make a fortune putting my designer shoes, belts, hats, purses and all my super hot stuff on consignment&#8230;.. yeah right, we will see.<\/p>\n<p>Fab girl inspects my booty every little thing I brought, through the eye of a needle as I gaze back from rack to rack feeling pretty safe, I am not in love with anything and thrilled, I won&#8217;t be spending any money I confess to my friend, BUT- NOOOOO I SEE IT! This beautiful vintage Leather Channel suit the ONLY kind I always LIKED &#8211; not the boring old lady suits just pure gorgeousness I put it on and I turned into back to the 80&#8217;s, 90&#8217;s from high fashion runways to sports editorials flippin and trickin- the wholesome and the high fashion. My friend Paloma grabbed her camera and started to tell me how to pose and turn this way- STOP I said and follow, it&#8217;s like that old shoe or the bicycle you never forget how to ride. The Channel Suit, the feel the heels, and BAM she&#8217;s out and ready to show it like she was 18 BUT rockin&#8217; it at 50 bad ass even better&#8230;. if I do say so myself, it was so fun to play, just awesome. I felt the best and so fun.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing some of the fun, here are a couple of shots &#8211; I need a charity to buy the suit and my microscopic designer duds were exactly that &#8211; the consignment store did not take ANYTHING I brought! Too bloody funny- I was doomed from the moment we walked in&#8230;. the good news is it was only $895 instead of &#8230; well you know&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115357.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130211-115357.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115357.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115417.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130211-115417.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115417.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115435.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130211-115435.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115435.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115538.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130211-115538.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115538.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115620.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" alt=\"20130211-115620.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brendaswanson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/20130211-115620.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night was actually Grammy&#8217;s and I wrote this on Super Bowl Sunday I better blast this Blog out before THE EMMY&#8217;s in September!
