Cake didn't say anything about tall boots, but I threw those into the mix as well. :)
This is the Gibson jacket I scored at Shoptoberfest, worn with an old brown sweater dress - because, hot diggity, it didn't even reach 70 degrees where I was today! *fist pump*
Of course, in the Dress for Success office, the AC was making weird noises, and I wished I could remove the jacket without ruining the outfit, but I was happy as a clam walking to/from the bus stop. These Fryes still need some breaking in, but the footbed is delightful, and the laces allow me to support my arches. Once the heel softens, they will be in business for a day at work!

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. :)
