One-Dollar Wonders

Cat-atonic

November 8, 2013

I can't help but laugh at the second pic - fashion gods be smilin' down on me this morning! Ping! ;)

I tried a couple different gold necklaces with this outfit but, in the end, I stuck with only a watch. One of my customers gave me repeated compliments on my "subtle" outfit, so that gave me confidence that I made the right choice.

This sweater actually has full sleeves, but they don't stay scrunched... had to roll. Do they look too bulky? Maybe I should chop them off and sew them into a permanent 3/4 roll?

Kitty flats are 2 for 2 days of comfort!

Black cashmere sweater - $1 at flea market
BR Sloans - Banana Republic
Vaneli cat flats - Zappos
Brahmin Vineyard satchel - Nordstrom
"Cartier" watch - $1 at flea market

    Those shoes would make me smile all day long :-)
    If you don't ever wear the sleeves down on the jersey then it may be worth while giving them the chop.

    Super subtle cool Rae!  Those shoes are killing me-ow. (I know, really bad - but I couldn't resist.)

    BEST CAT FLATS EVER.

    The customer compliments were well deserved. I really like the simple outfit that let's the cat shoes be the star.

  • Debra replied 10 years ago

    Fabulous, love everything about this look :). I really love the shoes !!!

  • catgirl replied 10 years ago

    DH and I actually have a "god" sound we make when we see light like this - sort of a hallelujah sound.  You look fab, of course.

    Great idea to chop off the sleeves and sew them into a 3/4 roll.  Although they don't look bad this way either, I just love your idea and then you don't have to fuss.

    A polished and friendly outfit.  You just can't help smiling at someone wearing shoes like this!

    Purrfection! Love the Catier too :)

    I was soooo hoping your $1 Cartier watch actually said Cattier ;)

  • goldenpig replied 10 years ago

    Purr-fect! Love those kitty flats. Where did you get them? Super cute!

  • gryffin replied 10 years ago

    Sooooooooooooooooo adorable!!!  But complaint, why are there no doggy shoes?  Dog moms need cute doggy shoes too!!  You catwomen are getting the "lion's" share of the cute clothes and shoes!!  We need a canine support group!!

    Fabulous, Rae! Those shoes with that bag are a match made in heaven. And the heavens clearly agree. 

  • Elizabeth P replied 10 years ago

    LOVE!  Those shoes are awesome.  Not going to throw in a pun, nope, not going to...

    And that sunflare made me chuckle too.

    Loving those shoes!  Sooo cute on you!  And the sweater is lovely. I really like the way you incorporated the shoes so they look fab and take center stage without being OTT.

    Such a fabulous look on you!

About

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. :)
