One-Dollar Wonders

Snake, Crocodile, and Bad News Layers

September 9, 2013

I was both sad and happy to discover that the sun no longer stays up past store closing on Sundays - sad because I could not take a better outfit pic, but happy because that means Fall is getting closer!

I really loved this outfit - new $2 flea market necklace, btw - but I am super bummed to report that this cardigan is already pilling. Shame on you, Modcloth. Shame!  >:(

In better news, everyone in the shoe department complemented these old Fergie Major boots while I was running around down there. 

Snake dress - Rack
Cardi - Modcloth
Brahmin satchel - Nordies
Fergie boots - Nordies
Chainmail watch - gift from a friend
Necklace - flea market

    Amazing necklace!

    I'm finding I have to keep making my dog-walk earlier and earlier, to avoid doing it in the dark.

    You look like Fall, too!  Love the balance of ladylike and modern/edge.

    I love this look, Rae - the snakeprint dress makes me want one too!

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    Love the necklace, boots, snake dress and, of course, your fab bag. You look wonderful.

    It was 100 here today, I wish fall was here. Love the necklace.

    Wow, you look amazing!  That's so annoying about the pilling cardi, though!  Boo!!

    Shame on you Modcloth (shaking my finger at them.)
    Other than that, I hope that you felt great - because you really look good!  I love the reptile dress - and of course, the bag - makes me very, very happy!

    Bad News Layers, LOL Rae!

    You look great, I don't see any pilling, just tons of style.  :-)

  • Ingunn replied 10 years ago

    Super stylish, Rae. No wonder they complimented you!

  • replied 10 years ago

    Wow, just stunning, Rae. Sorry about the cardi.

  • Lantana replied 10 years ago

    You look so stylish Rae. Such a pain when knits pill. I clean them up with a pumice stone but it's an on going chore.

  • Mona replied 10 years ago

    The necklace is so pretty and the bag is just fabulous.

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    Thanks, ladies, I liked this outfit particularly well!

    Lantana, I know... sometimes I think I shave my sweaters more often than my legs. o_0

    What a shame about the cardigan. It looks great! Love that necklace, too.

    Love the outfit. I love animal print anything. The necklace is great. As a fellow thriftier I always look at your posts to see if you have any current treasures.

    Oh I almost got the airport cardi but found a substitute at F21. So sorry it's pilling. Write a review on the site! I love love your dress.

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. :)
