Sorry if my posts have been a bit scarce and irregular lately - I am in vacation and catch-up mode, doing all the things I'd had no energy for while working. One of those things includes turning this formerly-cream-but-stained-from-crossbody-bag-color-transfer panda dress into a citron panda dress! Worn out to a scorching day at a baseball game because all my go-to hot-weather dresses need washing... again. This dress is a little bit skimpy, for me, but I couldn't muster up any modesty in this heat!
One of the other things I've been doing a lot is swimming (yes, still keeping up the healthy habits hopes, though I've been super lax about posting about it)... you might be able to tell by the crazy tan - which I'm not too crazy about, since it's really throwing off my coloring. Going to campaign for using the indoor public pool more often...

Tignanello crossbody - flea market
Polar bear necklace - flea market
Softspots sandals - Ebay? Amazon? I don't remember, but those are the likely suspects
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. :)
