And then Nathan picked up this adorable little red saddle bag at the thrift store, and I just had to wear them together. Longer than I normally wear, but a great fit. I literally held my breath, because I wanted it to fit SO BADLY. Tee, Wal-Mart Skirt, Gift (Ann Taylor) Tights, Target Shoes, Target Beads, vintage Bag, Thrifted.

Both the dress and shoes are Isaac Mizrahi for Target. The cotton is SO light and the fit is very flattering. It’s basically the same cut in the front and the back, which seems odd, but works for the dress.

One of the great things about this outfit, other than the flattering fit, is the fact that it transitions really well from work to home and then out with just a change of pants. I’ve had this for years) Wood Bangle, Target Snake Bracelet, Urban Outfitters Earrings, Love Erin Designs at Etsy.com.

I think the transition of going from both working in an office with a dress code and the restrictions of 30x30 to being able to literally wear anything I want at any time, is sort of overwhelming. It basically makes fun of everyone I know, including myself. I had my first day at Buffalo Exchange yesterday and it went really well.

This bag is a GREAT thrift store score. The bracelet I paid way too much for at Target in Austin last time I went down there for a girls weekend, but I adore it. When I won them, the snake ring fit, but the scarab ring did not. These rings I won in a lot on eBay a few years back. It was too small even for my pinky.

I would just like to say…if I had been wearing this out fit OUT I would have worn the harness with it. I love that the subtle pattern keeps it from being plain black, but it’s also subtle enough to work with almost anything. I toned the whole thing down with a blazer as well. I know the pics are a bit fuzzy, but I promise.

Now that I see them in the harsh light of day they just look really ill fitting. I’m sure they will work better paired with a longer shirt to hide all that bulgy mess.

At all of 3 bucks, this double lion head pin fit the bill just fine. Because we are broke, I’ve been trying on jeans at thrift stores, Ross, and second hand stores. And as I’m sure you can guess, I am having a really tough time finding a pair that fits both my behind and my needs. Because shoes pretty much always fit.

Shortly before the TxSCC, Jentine challenged herself to thrift me a sequined top. And I, of course wore it to work. In fact I was working at the buy counter that day and I had a wonderful seller come in with some fun sequins and lace and even a Betsy Johnson dress (new! I just like Katie's work. With cutoffs.
