Of course, all my stuff is uber inexpensive, cause I am notoriously cheap when it comes to clothing. Like, really bad. Ridiculously bad. I like old t-shirts and hoodies and Clinton & Stacy would have a hey day with me. I don't do dry cleaning. And I don't iron. I think about half my wardrobe came from the two college aged daughters of one of my coworkers. What, is that bad?
I have on Gap jeans, a Gap tank (which I got from a clothing trade here at work), a grey shift cardigan, (I think I found it at the Rack before we went to New York last year), a yellow "pashmina" scarf (found in NYC at the shows - 3 for $10) and my black patent loafers that I found in NYC at Filenes. On sale. This is what my outfit looks like, but these pieces are all insanely priced.

Now, I will also say this: I *hate* going clothes shopping, and I *hate* spending money on jeans. I know, I know, it's totally weird. But I get most of my clothes super on sale or at thrift stores/resale shops. I hardly ever buy jeans brand new (also in part due to the fact that I seem to always be needing different sizes). I think I'm dressed for about $80.00 total, including my necklace today, which was a gift from my sweet friend Shana at Cookoorikoo.

I must say, I am crossing my fingers that no old men will ask me when my baby is due today. That was really harsh. (Dude, I'm not pregnant, it must be this down plaid vest?!?) I look less fluffy than I did yesterday when that occured. Or at least I hope I do.
Here's to Tuesday, not dressing like a lumberjack, and still staying warm during the weird Portland weather.
