Sorry for the lack of blogging! My next blog "How I Spent My Thanksgiving Vacation" will explain exactly why I've been a little remiss. Just think "latex gloves, knee pads and a dust mask." Oh yeah, it was...uh...fun.
I wore this little outfit to express some of the things that I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving...friends, love, peace. The only things missing are "a good glass of red wine" and "a fresh cup of espresso" and oh yeah, "kids that always obey me the first time I ask them to do something."
Today's outfit is thanks to the thrift store, Parisian's, eBay and for love 21. I was being kind of hippie cool today with this great stretch black embroidered jacket that I bought at the thrift store for $6. With a little stretch in the cord like material it fits nicely to show off curves.
The Breakdown:
Corduroy jacket ($6 thrift store/ARP $50), goldenrod tank ($3 For Love 21/ARP $3), olive green tank ($3 For Love 21/ARP $3) , Banana Republic jeans ($13 eBay/ARP $80), Ann Marino wedges ($8 from Parisians sale/ARP $70), tobacco colored Coach hobo ($43 eBay/ARP $250).
Grand Total: $76
Approximate Retail Price: $456
Savvy Savings: $380
Oh, and as a little "I told you so" and because I really do love you all I've added a picture where I didn't let the tanks do their divide-and-conquer trick (per my stylist Clinton Kelly) so you can see for yourself that my butt DOES look a bigger without this handy little trick. And since not every shirt, sweater, coat, etc. will be long enough, it's worth investing in some tank tops that will allow you to use this trick. With places like Rave and for love 21, it's easy to stock up on with out spending a lot of money. I mean, what's $3 to make your butt look smaller?
Your outfit is looking very cool and stylish.
