Ghostess with the Mostess

January 16, 2014

the camera was being held stationary but somehow I still turned up with this ghostly blur... I am going to say it's a cool editorial effect. ;)

The E&J tunic has a similar shadow-pattern, and the Joie jeans are a lovely, creamy white. I found the placement of the cargo pockets super flattering on my thighs and might have to pounce on the mink color.

    Very cool!  I wouldn't expect those cargo Joie jeans to be flattering, thinking they would draw the eye right to the thigh (something I try to avoid).  Looking forward to seeing them on you.

    Denise, I know! They draw the eye in a good way, though. Right to the center of the thigh, making them appear much narrower. We got the navy color first and only have one pair left.

    Fun Winter whiteout look. Quiet ethereal. 

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    Very cool look. I'm inspired by the true white top with the cream jeans.

  • Diana replied 10 years ago

    The white and cream is such an unexpected and intriguing combination. I really like it, and the silhouettes here as well.

    Ditto the white and cream. Looking great :)

    Love the top - and the fun inspiration game.

    You look super cool---and I loved your thread title!

  • Deborah replied 10 years ago

    Beautiful! The blouse is a slight nod to the new romantic movement of the 80's...brings back good memories/)

  • Neel replied 10 years ago

    That's a beautiful dreamy effect :). I love this winter whiteout version!

  • Karie replied 10 years ago

    I love the creamy white jeans. My J.Crew matchsticks are like that. Not white, and not quite beige either. Very versatile shade!

  • rachylou replied 10 years ago

    This top is a winner - as is the whole outfit.

  • rebekahphoto replied 10 years ago

    love the calming light colors and interesting shapes/textures. grounded with the darker shoe. & nice photo! 

  • E replied 10 years ago

    Oh what a neat version of the white out outfit: soft and pretty colours in edgy shapes. Very cool!

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. :)
