Two days off, and two days of minor errands, housework, and lazing about watching Dexter on DVD. Not much to show! But I did manage to get dressed and out of the house.
1-2 are from today: a trip out to Trader Joe's to get supplies for my upcoming work week (which in my world pretty much starts on Saturday). I think next time I would either do a solid top or un-ripped jeans, just because I think my preference for details is changing. A year ago, I think I would have thought all these items were very simple and plain, but now I feel really ALGO.
3 is from yesterday, the trip to Target for cat litter that resulted in pants reconnaissance. Inspired by Angie's post with her long shorts (and by the heat of the day).
Overall, I feel like there is too much happening in both outfits. I think I would also choose one color if I were to redo yesterday's outfit. But oh well, I'm still learning about my new style shift, especially for casual outfits. The work situation is much more dialed-in.

I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
