Another Slacker Outfit Post, sorry ladies! It's been a busy time at the store with Mothers Day fast approaching, then my own Mother's Day is also fast approaching, I finally tried the medication Dr. Shrink suggested, and my car battery died. And the dog ate my camera. ;)
#1 was worn today, and it's a spin-off of Angie's nostalgic tee formula! I started with this Metallica: Ride the Lightning banner and wore it muffler/bandana style as a scarf over my signature color tee and simple Really Skinny trousers. Light boots to fake more exposed skin and balance with the exposed arms. A few older ladies liked how I tied my "scarf" but, thankfully, no one guessed my little secret.
Yesterday was especially gloomy and cool, so I wore my now-trusty Danier. I love how bootcuts balance out the bold collar, so I went with Sloans again. The underlayer was a neglected $1 flea market find in another signature color. Thought about my white booties with this but ultimately felt the outfit couldn't handle another statement piece. Toying with the idea of maybe limiting myself to 1 or 2 "interesting" items per outfit...
Banana Republic mixed media top - Banana Republic
Metallica banner - $1 at flea market
Gap Really Skinny pants - Ebay
Report Marks booties - Amazon
Nixon watch - $1 at flea market
Young Fabulous and Broke lurex tank - $1 at flea market
Danier leather jacket - Danier
Dr. Martens Marcie boots - Shoebuy
Banana Republic Sloan pants - Banana Republic
Zella tote - flea market

I totally agree with the less is more concept. Too many statements = overkill, unless you're Giovanna. Even then, probably. -
I'm thinking I really need to check out BR for pants now. I haven't tried on anything in BR in a decade. That's what it feels like.

I love the scarf idea and your signature pop of citrony yellow sound like a good pairing. Nice pale booties. Great bag and coat in 2, love!

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. :)
