And sunlight almost missed! But I eeked out a barely-passable outfit photo to share.
I really liked this outfit - it felt like a distant cousin of the dropped-waist flapper dress - but I don't think it comes across well in the photo. The linen top is very light, and movement helps the lines of my body show through so I'm not such a brick house IRL. I got some compliments, too, so it can't be all in my head!
Brochu walker top - $1 at flea market
Anthropologie dress - Anthro
Report Marks booties - Amazon
Nine West bag - flea market
Chain mail watch - gift commissioned by a friend (the watch face was an old one of hers, and she had her chainmail-artist then-boyfriend make me a strap out of sterling silver rings).
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. :)
