One-Dollar Wonders

White (Hot) Christmas in LA. In November. Before Thanksgiving.

November 13, 2013

I had a day off, so DH and I went out to lunch in Koreatown... man, it felt just like summer! And then we stopped by a shopping center, and all the Christmas decorations were already up - complete with giant tree and life-size reindeer fleet wired up above. Sometimes it's like we just make everything up on a whim out here - weather "changes," holiday "seasons." Whatever. I just want to wear my fall clothes, darn it!

At least we found this wall. And I didn't have to work. :)

J. Crew linen blend tee - $1 at flea market
Allsaints camo pants - Allsaints
Ash wedge sneakers - Lord & Taylor
Brahmin Vineyard satchel - Nordies
Elizabeth & James sunnies - NAS

    Oh I remember shopping for those camo pants at All Saints!  You look of the moment and on trend, effortless and chic.  (Whoa is that enough style cliches in one sentence?  At least I didn't squeeze luxe into it.)  One of your best and the photo quality is blogger-perfect.

    We can switch weather if you'd like. We are below freezing point. Love the tee with the sneakers and your hair is looking ah- mazing.

    I feel your pain Rae! I hate getting all excited to wear the fall stuff and then having THIS hotness happen! Today I slummed it in a tee shirt and bare feet.

    I love those pants you have on.  I have never tried Allsaints but it looks so hip and appealing.

    Thanks, ladies! I would gladly switch for some snow... boots, hats, coats... change!

    You look fabulous, Rae!
    The polished bag is unexpected and cool with the camo pants and wedge sneaks. LOVE your hair!
    And I would trade for your weather, too. It's snowy and cold here! :-(

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. :)
