One-Dollar Wonders

Tokyo Sniff

July 13, 2013

Worn into Little Tokyo Westside to pick up a purse atomizer and some garlicky ramen! All familiar workhorses here, and pretty much my signature casual look for this S/S: BF jeans, booties, trench, satchel, and a simple top.

New atomizer is filled with newly-Ebayed Dolce & Gabbana The One, which I have wanted since November and finally got a great deal on.

BDG tee - Urban Outfitters
TR Cameron jeans - Amazon
Men's belt - flea market
Report Marks booties - Amazon
Sealup trench - Yoox
B.Makowsky shimmer satchel - Ebay

    très chic, très cool!  Super S/S signature look!! 

    (Trench coat in southern CA in July? Not hot there right now?)

  • Carole replied 10 years ago

    Very chic and cool, I agree! Classic euro style at its best!

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    It's about 64F outside right now. Not really hot or cold, but it's a very lightweight trench. 100% viscose. Kind of like a nylon windbreaker weight.

    I love this look a whole lot.  But I'm laughing because it's similar temps here and we are all panting in tank tops and shorts! :)

  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago

    I wear things like this myself a lot as well, in the spring.  But with average July temps around 95, no way.  I can only look longingly at the booties, boyfriend jeans and the trench!

  • goldenpig replied 10 years ago

    Oh, I love this whole look! Very Parisian! You look great in trench coats!

  • replied 10 years ago

    You look excellent!

  • Thistle replied 10 years ago

    Oh la la! You look so French! Terrific outfit. Tres chic!

  • Mochi replied 10 years ago

    Oh I LOVE this. Even for you it's epic. Favoriting. Hope the ramen was great. No good ramen in Boston. :( or maybe calorie -wise :)

    A mademoiselle in Little Tokyo.

    You look so fab in your casual outfits, Rae!
    Love it!

  • sarah replied 10 years ago

    One of my favorite outfits of yours ever. Simple, chic, mixing classics and a little RATE.

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    I love it! You and Cameron and Report and the bomb. 

  • Janet replied 10 years ago

    Very nice outfit! I cannot even get my head around needing a trench between the months of June and September here, so I'm kind of jealous.

  • deb replied 10 years ago

    Super fab. Isn't ebay great for fragrances?

  • citygirldc replied 10 years ago

    <sigh> I miss wearing jackets, and coats and leather, but somehow at 92 degrees I don't think it would quite work. I love this outfit on you plus I'm a sucker for black and white stripes.

  • annagybe replied 10 years ago

    Looks good. I would never buy fragrances from ebay. I read an article how a lot of them are fake and what they put in the fakes, you do not want on your skin.

  • ElleH replied 10 years ago

    You look really fab & I would need a topper at that temp too.

  • replied 10 years ago

    Great outfit Rae! I'd love to be able to wear a trench right now (like, you have no idea) so I'll have to enjoy looking at your pictures. And now you smell as good as you look! :)

  • rachylou replied 10 years ago

    Smokin' ;D

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Great outfit Rae and how fab that you finally got the perfume you wanted.

    Thanks, everyone! Who knew I had a Parisian streak? This is pretty much how I want to dress come Fall, too. 

    Thanks for the article, Anna! Wow, the chemicals in fakes sound really nasty... I still feel okay buying on Ebay, though, if the seller has really great feedback and doesn't look shady.

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. :)
