One-Dollar Wonders

WIW: Neon, graphics, and a nature challenge outtake

April 30, 2012

These are only half the outfits I wore over the weekend - I will have to recreate the others.

1 - neon and nude, worn to a swap meet and car show. New belt is Armani and was scored as a 3/10 deal, so it was only $3.33!

2 - worn for a quick night walk with DH to Trader Joes - huge hit with the checkout clerk!

3 - I impressed myself with the necklace config., but I just. couldn't. wear. the pink top in a dressy setting like this. It's so.... pink, that I only really like it with my super rugged shorts.

    Love the neon and nude! So summery and cool. Also that cardigan! It's like the cardi version of our UWP sweater. Great looks (and great legs!).

    *waving at my former pearls*

    You look amazing, Rae!! LOVE the Star Wars tee look! And I, too, just love that cardi!! Heck -- I love it all!!

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Awww...am I revealing my own sweet side too much if I say I LOVE your third look?

    Love them all, actually. And love Mr. Kitty, too.

    I love #1 and #2, especially the Star Wars tee, but I see what you're saying about #3. It doesn't look quite like your style even with the cardigan.

  • Jjsloane replied 11 years ago

    Love Outfit #1 - the belt really pops with this and looks great. Neon done just right.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    I love how kitty gets in on the shot! Looking good Rae!

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Una, I never noticed that about this cardi! Yay for hi-low details!

    MaryK, these pearls hold great memories. :D

    Suz, you'd look great in this outfit! I do like it a lot, and I think I could have still worn it if I'd had a more UWP necklace to fill in the bust, or if the pink top had been a less conservative cut (I don't think it shows well in the pic but the bust has an almost bow-like detail).

    All so fab! But I really love you in baggy denim short shorts - so that outfit steals the show - especially with the yummy citron belt :)

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Thanks, Angie! I love my baggy shorts, too, so I try to wear them a lot while I can.

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    I just love that neon belt on you. All three look great.

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. :)
