So here's some thrifty goodness for you.
$3 cotton tights, cheap cotton t I tie-dyed, my favorite Born boots and bag from New Orleans (the only external (non-underwear) parts that are *not* thrifted. Sweater I think I've shown before--it was green and got dyed in golden yellow to spark it up. The leather coat is the one I repaired--you've seen it. And then the brown linen skirt: that's the fun part. I had a pink wool coat I fulled in the wash and then dis-assembled long ago. I used a circle template and cut out tons of circles and then appliqued them all over the skirt. I used green embroidery floss--this time of year, I'll all about pink and green (my toenails alternate pink and green, exactly the colors of this skirt and sweater, now that I think about it). I'm thinking the coat and skirt and sweater, all together, were a little less than $10.
You can click on any of these to see them larger and in more detail, if you wish.
I'll try to post another ensemble (woo-hoo: I used "ensemble") soon. Tomorrow is Tax Day; wish me luck, please!

Love the polka dots on the skirt.
Can you look at the tags on the photo (or properties) and see what date the photo was taken? That's how I remember.
Love the skirt, it makes me smile. and love it with the t-shirt and tights. The boots make me envious.
I like that I can click on the photos, I could actually see the green stitching.
Nice article, thanks for the information.
Good luck on tax day!!
Love your skirt and love the bracelet. ♥
What a great outfit! Yes, pink and green seem to be the fashion at the moment. I have plans of making a pink and green quilt for my bed. Now you have me wondering what my black jeans would look like with pink polka dots on them.
love the wave with the embellishments!
