One-Dollar Wonders

An Outfit in Parts and Impressions

November 11, 2013

So this has been the most challenging week in my professional career. Like ever. So not much time for morning outfit photos. :(

I tried to combat the sepia-tone-ness of my indoor pics, but they still aren't great. I am wearing my purple Zella moto with an orchid purple sweater half-tucked into a mini-ish skirt. Was still too warm part of the day, even with bare legs, but okay most of the time. 

Zella moto - Nordies
Cat necklace - Madewell, Shoptoberfest II
Free People scrunch skirt - Nordies
Vaneli sweater - $2 at flea market
Rockport boots - Ebay
"Cartier" watch (not pictured) - $1 at flea market

    Perfect choice of outfit for the conditions you describe!  You look strong, feminine, confident, and comfortable.

    I'm also a softie for purple.

    I love the layering of the dark but different purples with black, leather, boots, etc.

    Sending you good vibes and strength for a better week! You look great as always. Shades of deep purple are really nice on you.

    Thanks, ladies! The week has not been bad, just go go go and a lot of juggling time and resources. Such is life during a sale, lol. I am sure it will get better as I learn more.

    You look fabulous, love the purple, hope it settles down a bit this week and you at least have time to breathe :)

    Tough but pretty outfit for a pretty lady's tough week! Do you wear much purple? It doesn't show too well in the photos but I bet it's a beautiful color for you. I really like the element mix and proportions here, and especially like the hem curve of the skirt.

    I like it Rae, you look nice in purple.

    You look marvy Rae! I love that leather jacket, but I'm sorry it was a bit warm (here too). You always manage to look so pulled together (and take an outfit picture), even when life is busy throwing you lemons. I hope the rest of the sale goes/went well.

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. :)
