Dude, I'd forgotten how warm it can get here in Southern California... we've had two mild summers, and already I am completely desensitized. We went out to a couple flea markets today, and I ended up nauseous and ready to swoon like a damsel in a tight-laced corset! Plus, I miss my boots. I've been browsing boots online for days, as if my lizard brain thinks a boot purchase will bring boot weather. I have been good and not bought anything, but I will say I have my fingers crossed for a long, bitter cold spell... at least by CA standards. -_-
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. :)
