WIW: Sometimes I wish that I was a wrestler...

September 28, 2012

A Mexican wrester in a red vinyl mask.
And I might grab you
And body-slam you
And maybe cause physical harm.

-- Jill Sobule, "Mexican Wrestler"

Feeling very nostalgic today in my baby tee inspired by one of my favorite songs from 2001. I was VERY upset to see that Emma Roberts now sings it on one of her albums. The original recording is just fine - why the need to slap a celeb face on it? Ugh...

Anyway, I like this outfit, and I'm happy that it finally feels like I can wear my baby tees again. Something about the way they pair with baggy pants. :)

Wrestler tee - gift from DH
Aldo belt - flea market
Old Navy Boyfriend Capris - Old Navy
B. Makowsky bag - Ebay

    I'm not at all familiar with that song, but you look cute as can be in your baby tee and BF jeans!

    I LOVE the fit of these BF's on you Rae! The tee, belt and boots are just perfect with them.

    So cute! I like the way you rolled the sleeve and combined the tee with bf jeans. OTOH, super low rise flares with a blingy belt buckle would be so 2001.

    Casual cool

    Cute! Maybe you can go as a red masked wrestler for Hallowe'en?

    I have nothing against Emma Roberts, but the idea of her having an album is somehow hilarious to me. Like Paris Hilton's album hilarious. I have no idea why.

    Fabulous!

    You wear brights and earth tones equally well :)

    Love the tomboy-but-cute vibe of this. DH is a sumo fan so I was expecting a big guy in a skimpy bottom from your title.

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. :)
