One-Dollar Wonders

Happy Outfit, Crappy Photo

February 14, 2013

Sorry for the terrible shot here. I only took a few because I'm under the weather, and then my camera corrupted the one shot with decent exposure. :P

Worn for a session with Dr. Shrink, and I felt very pleased with myself walking to his building and to the Rite Aid for an emergency Kleenex stop. This trench is fast becoming an MVP in my house - I have to wear it a lot now while the weather is still on the cool side. I adore the below-the-knee length and the classic-but-kinda-badass quality. This is what I would love to find in a waterproof/resistant trench! Especially since this one is lined in nice, breathable viscose.

    Edgy! Love the colors and can't wait for Spring!

    Love that citron color on you. It's been working well in all your outfits. It goes so well with your earth colored jackets and boots, and your array of jeans.

    Love the colors and the white purse makes me VERY happy. I love the RATE-ness of your look then adding this super polished bag in white no less, take it over the edge that you were skating on. This outfit makes me happy. What an eloquent style statement.

    Love it! The citron screams spring to me. Great trench! Have you considered trying to waterproof this coat? Although I hate to "try" stuff on beloved items.... Nikwax has a great line of gear care and waterproofing revival products.

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. :)
