These camo shorts have been with me for many years, but were bordering on Orphan status. I used to wear them a lot when I dressed more sporty, pre-YLF. I tried to resurrect them the other day by cinching the drawstrings at the knees to make them more tapered. Worn to the chiropractor and out to lunch with DH.

#2 is a better pic of what I wore the day of DH's surprise party... of course I wore shoes. I liked the combination of two different yellows. has matchy come back around the spectrum to feel edgy again?

Bonus pics in 3-6 show my error trials for camouflage shorts day - I ended up deciding that I do not like those in-between-and-not-quite-baggy cropped jeans. Out they went to the thrift store! Why wear those when I can enjoy my SFBs? As you can see, I also tried to resurrect these orphaned sneakers, another relic from my college tomboy days. I'll try them again later with either short shorts or full-length jeans.
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. :)
