Affordable fashion comes in so many iterations & from so many places. Parts of this outfit came from the Goodwill bins, a Nordstrom Rack sale & discount retail – TJMaxx. This outfit was inspired by this great square neck bright animal print top. The top felt very 90’s which is why I picked it up,
This was an easy outfit. It was inspired by the candy stripe metallic sweater that a friend gave me after it didn’t work for her. Best to keep everything else simple when wielding such a eye-popping piece, I feel. I went with slim dark jeans & dressy flats (also worn here). The neutral bag doesn’t
This leather, plaid & velvet outfit was inspired by this plaid shirt finally fitting me again! I found it in a thrift store in Edinburgh several years back when I was there with my now husband. Then I gained weight. I hung onto it for sentimental reasons & now it fits again! I bought the
Here is another one of my patented “Work to Workout” looks plus an additional styling for running errands or meeting friends afterwards. For work I wore my Walmart leggings, Elliot Mulryan cashmere sweater similar (that is long enough to be a very short dress) and my Vionic boots. Underneath was my J. Dow Fitness cropped
This light denim outfit was inspired by the tank top. I wanted to wear it one last time, since it’s gotten too big & I am passing it on. It’s from Loft (purchased on clearance). They do the best floral prints! I used to live in Loft since a lot of their clothes run big
I’ve got another work to workout outfit for you! The work outfit consists of a Como Vintage flannel shirt (found at The Rack, on clearance), Adyson Parker black cardigan (Dirt Cheap in TN), the softest leggings ever (Amazon leggings) and a pair of velvet & rhinestone Adrienne Vittadini flats (bought at TJMaxx during my Tennessee
Back in the 90’s I think we called any big, blousy top a poet shirt. Especially if it had ruffles at the neck or wrists. Anyone remember? Today, I guess they would be considered a peasant top. Although a true peasant top is usually a popover style in floral & very cottage-core. Anyway, this could
I did another outfit with faux leather for work. Sadly, this is the last one with these pants (also worn here, and here) as I’ve lost even more weight & the they are uncomfortably large now. They were fun while they lasted! This one was super simple: no name cashmere sweater (DHGate.com), Walmart faux leather
This casual work outfit is 75% secondhand. It’s mostly inspired by the top that I don’t wear much because it has a wide open back. When I wear it for work I have to layer a cami underneath. I’m probably passing it on to someone else even though I like it. One rule I have
This velvet midi skirt outfit was inspired by my closet cleanout. I was down to only a few items to use as a jumping off point for my outfit & all three of these were some of the ones left. I would have never put them together otherwise but I think they made a rather
