Stepping out of the box...Eeeek!!

I resolved to step out of my clothing comfort zone and I have done just that.   I am wearing an outfit today that I would've never in a million years worn a month ago.  It's not even outrageous by any means, it's just not safe (for me anyways), ya know?  I'm slowly learning how to use things that I already have in my closet and just pair them differently and unexpectedly.  I had so much fun last night playing "dress-up".  :o)

Here is my first "concoction"...

Dress -- Family Dollar

Shirt -- Wal-mart

Shoes - Thrifted

Belt - Dirt Cheap (that's really the name of the store)

Jewelry -- had FOREVER!

Here's the story on the outfit...it's actually a dress that I got for like $5 at Family Dollar.   The t-shirt I've had forever and only worn like 2 times.  The shoes I snagged at the thrift store this week for $3, but have the same issue that Tiff has with hers...they're just a tad too big, even with those heel pad things they still slip off a little.  They are my size and I tried them on at the thrift store, but should've taken a little stroll in them to discover that they aren't a perfect fit.  :o(  They are the cutest patent leather peep-toe wedges and I want to wear them so desperately.  Perhaps I'll try to add another set of those heel pads and see if that works.  I hate to let cute, cheap shoes go to waste!  ;o)

Since I'm taking time off of running this week (not by choice..stupid hamstring!), I've had my lunch break to use as I please...which of course means, thrift store shopping.  Here are a couple of things that I've gotten:

$3 a pair at the Goodwill.  WooHoo!!

6 belts @ 25 cents each = SCORE!

P.S.   I had to change out of my shoes (so as to not kill myself from tripping) and are now wearing black patent leather ballet flats.  Boring!!  Oh and I probably should've shaved my legs before a skirt..but doubt anybody's getting close enough to check it out.  lol

Life is grand!  Happy Thursday!

TTFN!
