WIW: First Jeans Day of Fall 2012!

September 25, 2012

So it was still almost 80F yesterday, but I wanted to wear jeans, gorshdarnit! Plus, I wanted to try on that Lululemon jacket I'd been eyeing, and I wanted to try it on with the type of bottoms I'd likely pair with it. The result was my transitional variation on jeans and a plain white tee. A man at the gas station said my "image" made his day - and not even in a creepy way. I think. While I was at it, I took my Frye Vera boots out for their maiden voyage.

This morning is also the first morning that Hank has demanded to occupy my lap since summer started. Change is in the air, people! My coats will be able to come out and play soon soon soon.

    You look great! Love the rolled jeans with the Frye's peeking out. Hoping you'll post photos of that lulu lemon jacket!!

    I hope the Fryes were comfy (what am I saying, of course they were!) - You rock the jeans!

    Fun casual outfit!

    Angie, I realized the other day that I am down to only TWO ripped jeans, and one of them needs repair work. A sad day in the Distressed Kingdom.

    Christy, I didn't get a pic of the LL jacket, because I wasn't liking the really thin, shiny nylon in person. If I can find the smaller size, I might try it again to see if a snug fit makes it look less garbage-baggy. But the other locations don't answer their phones....?

    Hank says "top o' the mornin'" to Gain!

    Lyn, I actually had to doctor up the Fryes by putting some medical/paper tape over an inner seam where they'd attached the company logo. I think they used nylon thread, too, really scratchy!

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. :)
