fancy schmancy

today at work, wearing an ensemble comprised of a kohl's shirt for $5, target tights for $2.50, a thrift store lace skirt that cost $6, and some high heels bought on extreme clearance (i don't remember what price), a very stylish co-worker stopped me to say "wow, you're always SO anthropologie!"

which i took as a big compliment on my $30 outfit since anything from anthropologie is significantly out of my budget. i own one shirt from there, bought with a gift certificate on final clearance, and it's too small for me now anyway.

but i think i'm starting to figure out this whole "fake it till you make it" thing.


that is not me.



this is me. wearing ugly shoes.

    i'm sure you do have that skill! i am constantly inspired by your outfits (and liberal belt use).

    i just happen to have an hour for lunch each work day, which is the perfect amount of time to spend treasure-hunting in surrounding thrift stores.

    thanks for commenting! i'm still figuring out this whole "oh i should write a blog post about that" thing.
