$3 WORK OUTFIT

Yes.  Three whole dollars for the clothing on my back. I like to nerd out, in this way, on many days when getting dressed.  Thinking to myself, "what is the math on this ensemble?"  Just for kicks.

Shopping thrift is such a thrill.  Finding items you love for really enviable prices. Many of those dollar amounts stick in my head, "hey, didn't I get this at Arc's Value Village in Minneapolis for five bucks?"
Those numbers make me love my clothes even more.  Nerd!

THE SHIRT:  $2
THE PANTS: $1

These pants might be one of my favorite stories to tell.  They are Joie trousers, dark brown with the loveliest hint of pink striping down the leg.  The original price tag was still attached to these beautiful pants and it read:
$350.
Three hundred and fifty fashion dollars.

Thank you Out of the Closet in Los Angeles. I remain stunned and delighted.

I also found the shirt in Los Angeles. A Goodwill near downtown.  It is Anne Taylor, beautifully pink and textured and for some reason fits me exactly as I like my button down to fit.

Not to be left out.  The belt, necklace and shoes were all bought from thrift and consignment.

A girl needs a good pair of trousers.

The end.
