What does one wear to go to an auction? I had no clue, but this is what I came up with. I dressed warmly because it was brisk outside and after the auction we were going to the county flea market which is outdoors. Comments, opinions, suggestions, advice welcomed. Does this outfit work for me?



I'm 25, 275lbs, regularly a 22/24 top and bottom :) I am a major bargain hunter and thrift shop wearer. Click pics to enlarge.

This would be me...
You can see the necklace and hairpin I wore in these shots, I have detail shots too..






A question about my hair.. the cut I have is longer in the front than the back, and now that it's grown out my hair does this duck tail-ish flip thing in the back.. Is this cute? I sort of think it is, but I'm not decided. What's the verdict? Does the duck live? :)



This is the only thing I own with hearts on it except maybe some socks. I love the maroon and orange. Don't mind my face, I'm really bad with self times pics and my husband was out.



With jacket and scarf since it was chilly out. I gave up on the self timed pics because my husband called and my friend was on her way to get me. I am so multitasking by taking pics and talking to him on the big clunky house phone at the same time, thus the strange head angle. P.S. I LOVE this jacket. It is super soft and comfy and green suede.
