I'm wearing yesterdays boots, bag, and cami - and I don't feel bad about it! How could I ever feel bad about the Julias? The bag kind of clashes, but I'm just too lazy to change it out right now. It will be at my desk most of the day, anyway. I was also too lazy to style my hair today... :)
Rust suede jacket - $25 via F21
Target dress - $1
Cami - $5 via ON clearance
Fry Julia's - via Dillard's

Fantastic!! How is your new office reacting to your fashion choices?!? And you were worried that work wear would be no fun. You are obviously having a lot of fun here :)

You look great! I don't think the bag clashes. At least not on my monitor. Teal and rust are great! And the kitty is adorable!!

I love that rust jacket - I'm so glad you got it! And I'd wear those Fry boots every single day if I looked that good in them. This outfit is great - I say repeat items that work well for you. And like Suz, I actually like the blue bag with the outfit.

You look lovely as usual! Those Julias are just so awesome! Love the kitty necklace too and I don't think the bag clashes at all.

Cute kitty! And I too think the blue bag is marvellous with your gorgeous jacket. Why fix what isn't broken?

You look great! And nothing wrong with repeating an outfit as long as all the components are as awesome as yours :)
I love the cat necklace - so cool!

Thanks, everyone! I am feeling better about the blue bag - blue and orange are complimentary colors, so I don't know why it was feeling off. Maybe I'm just jiving with the tonal look right now?
Kirti, I've had this necklace for a long time, but had stopped wearing it, wondering if it was too cutesy for my style. Now I have decided that the arched back makes it borderline UWP - kitty is ready for war!

What happened to my comment? I probably forgot to press "submit".
There is nothing wrong with repeating outfits, especially when it's a fab one like this, Rae! Love the kitty whimsy :)

I love this outfit and second Shannon's sentiment about wearing them everyday. I also love the blue bag and the kitty necklace!

Cat pendant is UWP for sure - it's not just any cat obviously.
Bag has a similar muted tone as the jacket so they harmonize.
Only a true bag girl would think she should change bags to go with outfit :)

Wow, those boots are *amazing* and I love your fun blue bag. I always admire people who can remix particular items -- they get good bang for their buck!

Thanks for the closeup, Rae! I just love the pattern and texture as well as the colors in this fab ensemble!

This is really a great look. Wow!
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. :)
