I already posted this outfit elsewhere, but I thought I'd add it to my blog posts since I ended up actually wearing it outside. It was a cool and grayish day, and I am still on my sci-fi kick, so I was a bad, rebellious and selfish girl and wore the spat boots with my Bebe faux leather jacket. I actually DO agree with Angie, Una, and others about the side view but, or what I paid, I will take a hit on figure flattery on days when I feel contrary. Topped things off with silver and gold accessories: my trusty snake bag and a golden bag-handle-turned-choker.
I usually wear an exposed belt with my outfits, and I had planned a gold belt for today, but it felt off. Eventually, I surmised that the belt was competing with the drape of the jacket for waistline dominance. Jacket won. :)

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. :)
