A Vintage Top for Fall

 I Am Vintage


Hello everyone!  I thought I would pop on and share a new top for Fall that I found, in of all places, at the Tractor Supply Store. What? Doesn't everyone buy their clothes at the Tractor Store? Just goes to show you I can find clothes to buy just about anywhere! 

Seriously, though, this is a beautiful top and is a vintage style. I love the color and couldn't wait to wear it with my soft, brown knit corduroy pants. I guess this could be considered a peasant top because of the tie at the neck, but it seems to be more streamlined than most peasant tops. I remember having a similar type top back in the 70's which is probably why it was billed as "vintage." But since I, too, am vintage the top and I get along very well together! 

One of the reasons I decided to share this top is to encourage you to look in unusual places for your clothes. The Tractor Supply Store typically carries heavy duty clothing for outdoor work such as tough jeans and flannel shirts. But, occasionally, they have other items for daily wear and I lucked out and found this top on clearance. It was a great find and I'm pleased to have it to wear this Fall. 


And while I was there, I met a friend! (The Mr. thought it was great fun to take my pic standing with this metal rooster!)


So, over the years I've shared clothing with you that I bought at the drugstore, online, via thrifting, shopping at regular department stores and now at The Tractor Supply. Cast your nets wide, ladies, when shopping for clothing! You never know what great finds are out there just waiting for you!

As I type this, I am preparing to have the first of two cataract surgeries this coming Tuesday. I'm feeling a bit nervous about this and would appreciate your prayers for a good outcome for both eyes. The second surgery will be nine days after the first. Everyone I talk to tells me that cataract surgery is "nothing." And while that is reassuring to me, surgery is never nothing when it is happening to you! So, thanks for your thoughts and prayers. (And please, no scary stories about cataract surgery in the comments. That won't help me.) I'll let you know how things go in the next post. 

Until Next Time,
Debbie

Your vintage top is beautiful and such a find. I have shopped at Tractor Supply for jackets, but I think it's time to take another look. Best wishes for your cataract surgery.

Oh, I love that top. I'm in Tractor Supply frequently for dog food, etc but never occurred me to look at their clothes. You know which aisle I'll be on the next time I'm there.

Praying for your cateract surgery. I had that several years ago and it made a huge difference in my vision. I still have to wear glasses because of other problems, but I was pleased with the surgery. You will continue in my prayers.

Sending prayers for your surgery... I too will eventually need cataract surgery and I am not looking forward to it..I have over sensitive eyes and was never able to wear contacts and have a hard time putting eye drops in so I can only imagine what having my eyes operated on is like..Love the color of the top and it looks great on you!! They are building another Tractor Supply store about 15 minutes away from me....There is one about a half hour from me now...I will be checking it out..Thanks for dropping by!!
Hugs,
