I must be on a white kick right now - all I want to wear are white tops and jackets. Talk about the spring neutral. Went for something different, though it doesn't qualify as "new" since it is gear (trying to be good). :)
Wore this out to the flea market - for once I did not go to shop for myself, too. My good friend needed some cheap dress shirts, so I dug through the piles and threw shirts at him to try on. Fun! We ended up with 4 good shirts and a tie. I also came home with a $1 belt and a $5 Zara leather jacket... not sure what I'll do with the latter - keep or sell. It is very distressed and lined in rayon, which makes me hesitate to sell. May have to create a separate post for that one!

Wow - who are you and what have you done with the "new" Rae? Just kidding - this looks fabulously current and put together. You are a flea market genius.

Fantastic. Can't believe how you are rocking white and stripes. Hmm, Jack White?

Those jeans are so 'you' I can't believe there was ever a K/R about them! I also love fresh white when it warms up just a little but isn't quite hot yet.

Looks great! You must have a great flea market near you. The one nearest me just sells old tools! Lol

Now, I've been trying to learn how to do "super casual," since I always feel like a poseur when I try it. It's like Queen Elizabeth trying to do RATE. Horrors!
Beth Ann replied 11 years ago
You, however, are Queen Casual, and I bow to you. Love the way that white reflects light onto you face!

My favourite part of Spring and Summer on this forum is seeing members wear shades of white. Like you did right here :)

Wow Rae - this looks so cool on you! You know, this white "thing" must be contagious - because its all I've been wanting to wear these days too! (Except of course, for white bottoms - I still just. can. not. go there!)

Marley, me too! What is up with that? It's not even the old notion that white makes one look bigger... it just feels wrong to me. Like long underwear. I'd need a thick, hefty, no-stretch, very low-rise pair for them to work, I think.

About
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. :)
