One-Dollar Wonders

Space Pirate Princess

June 15, 2013

Still going through forgotten flea market finds, and today I found this olive Ralph Lauren top, which con eniently matches my Han Solo pants. Paired them with hot pink wedges and girlie jewelry to counteract the casual feel of army green skinnies. Much less rugged than usual, but still enough to make me smile.

Also trying a more fluffed up hairdo, since I have to wait till next week to see my stylist. Thumbs...?

Tan blazer - Modcloth
Ralph Lauren top - $1 at flea market
Hudson tux jeans - TJ Maxx
Calvin Klein belt - Marshall's
Jessica Simpson wege pumps - Marshall's
Ted Baker bag - flea market

    Love it! It is like a cross between Luke and Han's medal outfits, girl style.

    Thumbs way up from fluffed-up head to fab pink toe!!

    A space pirate princess for the win!  YLF!  Those pants are awesome!

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    You look so pretty as a space pirate princess. The pink shoes are such fun with this column of olive.

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Love this!  I think the shoes and bag give a great "girly" quality, but are perfectly balanced by the strong silhouette in neutral colors.  Very flattering!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    EXACTLY what MaryK said!

  • Adelfa replied 10 years ago

    I don't think it would occur to me to put a big white bag with a column of olive, but it really makes the look! Well done!

  • Debora replied 10 years ago

    Love the pink shoes with the olive! Your hair looks amazing. I'm really loving it at this length.

  • donnat replied 10 years ago

    I love the way the belt grabs it. Looking goood

  • Runcarla replied 10 years ago

    This is really nice, and I like how you are wearing your hair.

    Btw, I keep thinking 'Laura Croft' every time I check out your WIW. (Hope you don't mind!? But, really seeing it in this outfit combo.)

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    What Mary said! HUGE thumbs up for the fluffed up hair and pink peds! Loving the white accessories too :)

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Love the stripe on the jeans and hair looks great!

  • Sveta replied 10 years ago

    Rae, I love you new style so much. Fab outfit from (fluffed) head to (pink) toe!

  • Sarah A replied 10 years ago

    Might be my favorite styling ive seen you come up with for these fun pants. Super fab with the pink shoes and white bag!

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    Runcarla, I am smitten with your description. I think I have a new fantasy alter-ego! (Aside: I heard writers from Buffy are planning to reboot the Laura Croft series - stoked.)

    Thanks everyone for commenting on this look. It feels like a bit of a departure for me, but I really liked it. Maybe I'm getting more in touch with my feminine side!

  • Marley replied 10 years ago

    UP - waaaaay up!  Just fabulous Rae.  The pink girly pumps are perfect with the olive green pants.  And I'm really liking your hair at this length.

    You have the most fascinating titles ever. I like the outfit! Earthy neutrals, metallics, a dressy blazer and pants. Somehow it works really well with that shock of hot pink. I feel like you need a machete in one hand and a glass of acid pink lemonade in another. All in heels. Like a badass space princess doing business on earth. 

  • Scarlet replied 10 years ago

    Oh my gosh, Hans Solo, so spot on. What a find though! I love the unexpected color for a column of color. Love this outfit and especially your fluffed up hair.

  • Ginkgo replied 10 years ago

    It's all good -- your fluffed-up hair, tan blazer, olive pants, pink shoes.  You've got a real sophisticated look going on and I love it.

  • jenanded replied 10 years ago

    totally fantastic! thought it was magazine shot first... the look and combo of pieces is amazing .

  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago

    Love the hair!  The whole outfit in fact.

  • replied 10 years ago

    Definitely a thumbs up from me too :) Love the pink shoes and your light accessories against the more rugged backdrop of jacket and trousers, fab!

  • JulieJohn replied 10 years ago

    Yum! I now have a new color combo to try someday - olive green and hot pink! It's so stylish and you look amazing. Leia and Han, as Ceit said. Give that girl a medal!

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    You look more amazing every day, Rae! Love this. 

  • tarzy replied 10 years ago

    This is a great direction for you to explore - a little more sophisticated without losing your edge. I really like this!

  • rachylou replied 10 years ago

    Awesome.

  • Thistle replied 10 years ago

    Love this on you!!  Way to bring home the Princess in UWP!!

  • texstyle replied 10 years ago

    Thumbs way up here too - love the outfit, colors and your hair.

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. :)
