Can't hitch a meteorite
Into the white
-- The Pixies, "Into the White"
:)
Just a very short test run of my white jeans, worn on a jaunt to Trader Joe's. I actually got an even better deal on these than before, as I noticed a spot of discoloration and wrote to the seller. I got 50% off, and the spot washed out. Deal!
And, now that I've had 'em on, I have to say I'm smitten with these babies. Wow, just like my destroyed Camerons, I can hardly believe I considered returning them. Really loving how the yellow stitching goes with tans and browns.
Sealup trench - Yoox
Madewell linen tank - Madewell
Tan belt - flea market
True Religion Cameron jeans - Ebay
Map print bag - $5 at flea market
Report Marks booties - Amazon
PS: I wish I had bought more colors of these Report booties while they were around! They are so comfy for walking and for standing at work. I wish I had a black pair, too, but now they are g.o.n.e. in my size. :T

Yay, I am glad you like them! Angie, it took me maybe three years, but now I am on board. No looking back! Zap correct, this color is not suede. I also have the sand color, and those sre suede. Nicole, they are off white , harder to find but just what I wanted. :)

Looks terrific and sort of like you belong in a movie. I am imagining that is your forensics bag!

Rae, these TR's fit like a white glove. Perfect and I simply love this entire outfit. There's a cool factor going on with the soft neutrals and then the addition of the trench. You make everything look good!

Love the outfit and the bag! You have totally got me thinking again about bleaching my (just about orphaned) yellow Levis 511.... then they' be white with yellow thread... hmmmm. I tried Rit dye remover on them with no success but maybe I just need to use the real stuff. Great inspiration! :)

Yay for the brunette foxes who can rock the white jeans too! But I love the entire outfit. It doesn't mess around. Cool, direct, and fab.

Your hair, speaking of, looks amazing. Did you think when you originally cut it that it would end up looking this good?

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. :)
