It is nice and cool outside, yet it is boiling at work. Trying to go without a jacket when possible, so I modifies an outfit from a while back. Worn with a stack of pearl bracelets and my ever-fab UWP necklace made by our very own Aida, who was my Secret Santa the first time I participated on YLF. :-D
Cha Cha Vente dress - Macy's
BB Dakota vest - thrift shop
Report booties - Amazon
Zella bag - flea market

I love how you can add armor ( vest) to a bombshell dress and toughen it up stylishly.

Oh my goodness, I love that vest even more with this dress. LOVELY! Totally UWP.

Wow, amazing how you can look ladylike and tough at the same time! Love the pearl bracelet, and you are looking very tall here!

This looks really good and you Rae'd it up with the vest quite nicely. Caliente!

Fabulous! Even more evolution in your style here, towards simple lines, bold statements (bracelet, booties), practicality. There is intelligence in this way of dressing, it says you are a smart, capable and confident person. Such a good outfit to go to work in!

ooooooh! Fab gilet over that frock! Brilliantly grounded with the booties. An 11 out of 10 :)

This is so creative, Rae.
I am overawed when I see you juxtapose tough and pretty as you have done here.
And with such finesse.
Cheering.

The vest makes this an advanced outfit. As in, ahead of the curve style-wise. You stylish thing you.

Umm. I'm taking notes on how you're achieving Polished UWP... I'm not sure how you do it, but you do it! It's really amazing.
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. :)
