STYLE ME FOR LESS...

Hi darling readers, this is the second installation of my new feature for this blog called "Style Me For Less".   It sounds like it should be a TV show, maybe it is and they stole my name.  Well, I never know when I am going find my next magazine page that makes me stop what I am doing and run to my closet.  It happened today as I was going through some bins in the garage getting ready for my yard sale this weekend.  I found this random page from "In Style" mag.  It was wrinkled and just lying there in a bin.  I snatched it up and went straight to my closet,  here's what I came up with.  Darn, now I need a celery scarf but this one did the trick because the idea is to use what you already have in your own closet. 



Thrifted jeans, shoes, purse, belt, shirt. Scarf and sunglasses bought at regular retail stores.

Their cost:  don't faint, $1,857.00
My cost:  Even with 2 Coach items which includes the bag and sunglasses plus a new pair of shoes, my outfit was significantly less at  $166.00.  Now, if you really want to applaud me, take away the Coach sunglasses and throw in a pair of my vintage thrifted ones and make it $30.00 total for everything.  It really pays to thrift.  Have a great day, thanks for entertaining me....ha!  dawn xo  I can't wear this to work but I am definitely wearing it tomorrow.

THIS IS MY TAKE ON HER OUTFIT...


These shoes have a long story behind them... they were meant to be mine and they were made mine by my fabulous friend Bonnie at Christmas.  She gave me two boxes and when I opened one of the boxes, it had one shoe and I screamed because I knew what was in the other box, of course.  There is something to be said about opening a box with one shoe...it is like opening the key to something.  When my husband gave me the camera, he let me open all of the gadgets that went with it, therefore I knew what the main gift was...he's great!
Vintage clutch thrifted $2.99
   
Trying out my new camera with remote ...it was a lot better with the remote because it was below freezing outside I and managed to take a lot less time with the shoot.  So, I am definitely a fan.
