Anna's Green & Black outfit totally inspired me to pull out my F21 big kitty tee (which the designer manager complimented as being "very Givenchy" - yay)! I really wanted to do a leather jacket like Anna did, but the print of my shirt is very easily obscured. I tried about a billion different permutations, but I ultimately settled on the flared skirt to add a touch of dressiness to the sporty cut of the tee as well as a bit of edge because of the volume-on-volume nature of the combo.
I also really, really wanted to wear these beaded Enzo sandals, which my customer initially spotted in pink (I nabbed those, too). They are jellies with just enough of a heel for me to get the effect of flats without the arch pain and tripped-up gait. These sure aren't UWP shoes, but I seriously love the sheer ridiculousness of them. I plan to wear these as pump alternatives to dress up BF jeans as well.
I don't really count my bag as part of the outfit, because it just happens to be The Bag I've Not Yet Packed and I only carried it to and from my car. However, pic #2 shows my bag and bracelets. :)

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. :)
