One-Dollar Wonders

Ripped, Cropped, and Peeped

June 6, 2014

I'm amazed I got through the day today... 

We started out with the good news that our loan has funded! Yay, Fund Day! But soon after, we learned that we still would not be allowed to move in until the deal is officially recorded... maybe as late as tomorrow afternoon. Not so bad, except we've already changed our movers' appointment twice, and they're supposed to come at 8am. -_- 

Anyway... this must have been a good outfit, because I got lots of compliments despite feeling like I was about to throw up or faint from stress all day. I was pleased with how well the gray undershirt blended in with the distressed jeans - and, I am thrilled with the comfort factor on these $10 Tsubos! I will be buying more from this brand fo sho. 

Bonus Fund Day faces and a shot from my out-to-dinner-with-visiting-cousins outfit in #5, featuring the same Tsubos.

True Religion Cameron jeans - Amazon
Tsuobo wedges - $10 at flea market

    Fun outfit! I love that top and the necklace--thanks for the close-up. What a lot of stress. Hope everything works out well for you.

    Yay for the loan!! Boo for the stress! Yay for your outfit! The shoes look terrific on you and I love the self-made crop top.

    Super fun cropped proportions all around in #1! The Faces are, of course, understandable (plus I'm preeeetty sure if the movers could see those, they'd definitely sympathize with moving the appointment again ^^). Out-to-dinner outfit looks super, classic Casual Rae to me. Great find on the comfy footwear, I've only heard good things about that brand.

    You are looking super stylish despite the stress and soon it will behind you and you will be in your new home!

  • Joy replied 9 years ago

    I hope you will be in your new place by this time tomorrow. Looking Good!

    Thanks, ladies! We went to bed early and are already up, like (stressed) kids on Christmas morning. We're going to load the truck regardless and hope the keys come sooner rather than later. o_0

    Congrats on your home, finally! Both outfits are fun. I really like the bag. Is that a cat?

  • Ornella replied 9 years ago

    Oh Rae!! Congratulations and I hope the rest of the day goes smoothly. You'll be on my mind for the rest if my day here, I can only imagine the stress levels. 

    You look great, btw, and mega stylish for the move ;-) I certainly was not this pulled together the last time I moved.

    Lol pic #4 with your Fund Day faces :)  Fab cropped DIY project.

  • shedev replied 9 years ago

    Nice outfit Rae. The move is almost behind you. When I bought my house we gave the renters 1 month free rent while they looked for another place. they took 2 1/2. I nearly had to pay for the new house and my rental Someday you'll have an amusing story to tell.

    I cannot believe your flea market finds -- they always astound me. Such great stuff here: love the crop top and those wedges! Congrats on the funding and good luck on moving!!!

    PS Your toes inspired me and mine are pink today. :)

    I love the phrase "peeped" and the double top is genius. I will be stealing that idea.

  • Debra replied 9 years ago

    Love the layers and those wedges were a great find.
    You look fantastic, super outfit :)

  • Ledonna N. replied 9 years ago

    I really like the layer with the crop top and tank. Very nice and cool.

  • catgirl replied 9 years ago

    Love the cropped look - hopefully I find my waistline again in time to wear this before winter! And just remember, it will all be behind you soon...

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. :)
