{Someone asked me in a comment why I always look down - I do it because in the morning I only have time for at most 5 shots, so I don't want to worry about what my face looks like :) I'll try to show more smiles more often.}

thrifty threads: Monday, Feb 9

I found this awesome dress at Buffalo Exchange. It's H&M so it was inexpensive to begin with, but I thrifted it so it was even less expensive. I also owe the booties & tights combo to Jessica over at What I Wore. She inspired me to stop wearing jeans everyday!

scarf: free
dress: H&M thrifted at Buffalo Exchange, $15
tights: old navy, $5

Total: $48

The lighting is better, but the hair is still wet... but it's all about the clothes anyway ;) Charlotte wanted to make an appearance to show off her inverse mohawk.

I've started documenting my thrifty threads this week... let's just say I'm still working out the kinks. The only time I can snap some pics are in the morning, and the light is pretty crappy in our house + I air dry my naturally curly hair, so it's always wet in the am.

The main purpose of me sharing my outfits now and then is to show you that you can dress nicely for SUPER cheap (I'm going to try and do subtotals of each outfit - if I can remember how much everything cost!) So.... here you go!

February 4, 2009
hair tie: oops left it on in the pic.
top: vintage ~$10
jeans: Heavenly Couture ~$15
shoes: Target ~$20
Total: $45 for the entire outfit!

February 5, 2009
tank: F21 ~ $9
belt: thrifted ~$5
jeans: Sakes Outlet (Joe's Jeans) ~$50
Sweater: thrifted ~$5
Shoes: 6pm.com (Charles David) ~$20
Total: $89 for the entire outfit!

I'm still experimenting with when to take the pictures, lighting, when my hair will actually be dry ;) I'll be totally honest - I HATE my picture being taken, but I really love seeing daily wear pics on my favorite blogs, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon.
