One of my favorite people came over yesterday for a little lunch and hang out. Oh how I wish Sarah and I were neighbors!
Sarah does the red lipstick so well, doesn’t she? I’m jealous.
Outfit details (Sarah):
It’s so cold in my studio these days (the glories of an unfinished basement). These fingerless gloves have saved me.
A few years ago I was at Forever 21 looking for a jacket, when I stumbled across the menswear section & spied this ugly sweater. It was $3. And just the right size for Chris’s, then 180lb., frame. He never liked it much, but he did wear it a lot to shovel the snow or do other misc housework. It didn’t make the cut for his wardrobe like I thought it would, but heck, it was so cheap. I was glad to see him get even a little use out of it.
Then. . . Chris gained over 30lbs. It seemed like it was over night. I was sad to see his wardrobe go. This was about the time when I was pregnant with Felix, so I stole a few of his awesome too-small-for-mr-muscles sweaters & put them in my wardrobe. This sweater was perfect for sporting the baby bump. Now that I no longer have the bump, I just zipped along the sides with my sewing machine & took in the sweater about 3 inches on each side. Now I have a comfy, sort of ugly, sort of cool sweater to wear when it’s just a bit nippy in the studio. For practically free.
I’ve been avoiding thrift shops lately (no energy to do grocery shopping, let alone thrift), so I ask you. . . What have you scored on the cheap lately? Do you steal from your significant other’s closet? Share in the comments below!
I wasn’t entirely sure I’d like these glasses much at all. They seem a lot bigger than my other nerdy glasses. After half a day of wearing them, I’m totally sold. Love em.
Wore this to the zoo with the kiddos. Should’ve worn a coat. BRRR! It was cold. Thank goodness I brought the scarf along.
TOTAL: $39
