Cheap and Cheerful

Sometimes, you've just got to be your own flower garden, especially when there is little chance that any real ones will be blooming any time soon. I'm envious of my friends over in the UK, who have green grass AND daffodils!

I had seen this 1980's blouse at The Sentimentalist a couple of months ago and tried it on, but it wasn't doing anything for me at the time, as much as I loved the colours. Then I saw it on the sale rack, marked down to $5, and I decided to try it again. This time, it clicked - maybe it was what I was wearing on the bottom when I tried it on that changed my mind. Anyway, it's mine now, in all it's floral patterned, shoulder-padded glory.

Pretty simple outfit, but the blouse got lots of compliments. And, I tallied up what I spent on the entire outfit and it was just under $35 for the blouse, pants and boots. Cheap, and cheerful!

And speaking of being your own garden....
