This is me after a long day of product research (got to meet Cookie Johnson this morning!), appointments, miscellaneous work stuff, worrying, and general chores leading up to le Vacation.
DH pretty much thinks the sweatpants are a sign of Dire Mental Burnout. o_0 He is partially right because, instead of being at all creative, I pretty much copied something I remembered from a Vince lookbook and zombied out the door looking for (decaf, watered-down, yearning-for-caffeine-yet-trying-to-avoid-it) coffee.
I have been avoiding using this leopard bag pretty much since I got it, because there is a small section of strap that is starting to fray/tear. I keep meaning to get it fixed, but I forget about it. I finally gave up and wore it again... if it breaks it will still need to be fixed, but at least I will have enjoyed it some.
Wearing:
Spiegel leather jacket - Spiegel
J. Crew tank - $1 at flea market
Sweatpants - ~ $15 at Nordies (free with Nordies note)
Report booties - Amazon
Leopard bag - 4 Euro at Italian swap meet
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. :)
