Do you remember these jeans I had custom-made from getwear.com? I have not been reaching form them since I left the office, but today I pulled them out when I was looking for something tapered yet not tight (not in the mood for a BF cut, but also not in the mood for a super skinny cut). These fit the bill perfectly, and they still feel interesting because of the copper button fly. Yay for oldie-but-goodies!
Rolled up the hems and went for a very simple, pseudo-Greaser, tomboy look with v-neck tee, aviators, and slipper flats. Hopefully the cat faces and printed satchel keep it from being too masculine. ;)
I was happy to be able to move about and finish some furniture we'd been neglecting for ages (storage trunks and cat litter hideaway) without having to revert to ugly sweatpants.

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. :)
