‘Looking’ rich on less: another fashion attempt

Since I am still working on dining room molding and don’t have any more progress photos yet, I thought I’d step away from the miter saw and talk fashion with y’all today.

If you’re thinking, “Hey weirdo. I thought you blogged about decorating, organizing and home improvement. What gives?” Well, a few weeks back, I joined a fun “Pin-it-and-wear-it” challenge and it got my fashion mojo flowin’ big time. I was surprised at how many Pinterest-inspired outfits I could put together by getting a little creative and using stuff I already had in my closet. How’s that for saving money and living rich on less? Then for whatever reason … maybe it was curiosity … maybe you just needed a good laugh … when I shared my “Pin-it-and-wear-it” outfit in a post, my blog stats showed a large number of you were interested in reading about it. So guess I figured it might be OK to share another one with you. 🙂

Here’s the latest pin I’ve attempted to replicate:

And here’s my version, using items from my closet:

• Denim jacket and black turtleneck sweater – Gap Outlet
• White necklace – Chadwicks of Boston
• Skirt – Burlington Coat Factory
• Boots – T.J. Maxx

What do you think? Did I come close to a match?

By the way, did you notice how scraggly my grass is? Maybe I should spend less time trying to be fashionable and more time honing my landscaping skills. Oh and since it’s just me and little man at the house today, I had to set up the tripod, put a timer on the camera, then run back and forth trying to get at least one decent shot. The neighbors think I’m nuts.

Soon little man will be big enough to help out with my photo shoots. He’s still too short:

Here he is sporting a Power Rangers mask his sis made him out of my scrap fabric. Did you know that I share cute stuff like this all the time on Living Rich on Less’s Facebook page? If you haven’t already, hop on over and “Like” it here. 🙂

OK. I’m changing back into yoga pants now. I have to make about another hundred cuts on the miter saw. Sigh.
