These aren't the best outfit photos, and you've seen all these items before, but as Mo says I wanted to stay accountable and show you what I've been wearing lately.
#1 -3 is at a super cool Noah's Ark exhibit at the Skirball center. Tons of animals built from found objects like rulers, gloves, a bathtub, machine parts... the fur on this animal next to me is made from hundreds of keys! I felt oddly appropriate in my grass print dress.
#4 was from our trip to the Natural History Museum on DH's birthday. We combined it with a trip to get his brakes checked per the DMV requirements. I'm in my Tom Petty outfit again... if Tom only knew!
#5-6 is from DH's surprise birthday BBQ in the park this passed Saturday. I'm wearing my citron Ann Taylor top, shorts, and a jacket I thrifted in Japan back in aught-6. 6 is the pic from when DH came in second in our croquet match - he'd led the pack the whole game, but he ended up losing a Poison showdown at the very end. Photos taken by our friend Joycie for her Instagram.
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. :)
