Between the olive-y brown/gray jacket and the baggy pants rolled up over combat boots, I felt a little like I ought to jump out of a plane today, but that's a-okay with my UWP alter ego. :)
In actuality, all I did was take a run to Target and Marshall's looking for a black & white printed, scoop-neck, semi-fitted, silky, dressy shell to wear under jackets and blazers. I don't know what could possibly be so hard about finding a super specific item in a super specific fit and color scheme, but I struck out. Found a few online that I like, but hm, why is it that I only like the $200 tank tops all of a sudden? I did manage to duplicate my beloved Aiko tee in white, though, for half the asking price on Ebay. Woohoo!
Anyway, I felt really good in this outfit and was tickled to play up my "waist" for once. Tried pics in a few spots outside, but Target had the best light. Nice and soft... a little dark, but at least there is not shadow beard or harsh reflections off the leather. Pulled out my one remaining mid-size crossbody today since my satchels felt weird with such a masculine outfit. Aviator glasses, of course. I feel I'll be wearing this exact combo again someday.
I may have been a little overdressed for my lunch run to Subway... but let's just call that an illustration of my comment on the "runway or everyday" thread. ;)
Aviators - Nordies
Mackage for Aritzia "Kenya" jacket - Ebay
B44 tee - Rack
Vince linen joggers - Ebay
B. Makowsky bag - Ebay (one of my first!)
Dr. Martens "Marcie" boots - Shoebuy
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. :)
