WIW: Butterfly Tuxedo Plumber

August 3, 2012

Mixing fashion metaphors today, and not quite sure if it works. I did unroll the jeans a little bit more after seeing the pictures.

Butterfly and micro houndstooth print silk top - flea market
Miss Sixty carpenter/plumber jeans - flea market
H&M tuxedo vest - YLF swap party
Doc Marcies - Shoebuy
red belt - flea market
Ted Baker bag - flea market

    I think it looks great! That top sounds gorgeous (details are a bit lost in the pic) and I love those jeans.

  • biscuitsmom replied 11 years ago

    Love it! Really a cute look :)

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    You look terrific! The top's details are hard to see on my screen, but to me, this is a fun combo.

    rae, this makes you look adorable (again!). Loving those jeans on you with the red belt and blouse w/vest. Is this a work outfit?

    and those Marcies are back in my shopping cart(s) again!

    This looks great Rae - all the elements works perfect together.

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Ah, I should have taken a close up! I have stolen a closER photo from an old outfit post. Next time I will get a better one.

    Sara, the Marcies are super comfy!

    I keep going back and forth on the Marcies too!

    I love your butterfly blouse! You find the best things at the swap meet!

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    Very nice - a little sweet, a little tough, all Rae!

  • Angie replied 11 years ago

    I think I like you best in straight-ish leg jeans with this type of heeled ankle boot, and a tucked in roomy blouse with belt. Just. So. Flattering.

    Those looks on you are always an 11 out of 10!

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. :)
