Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

While taking these photos, I realized that aside from my watch, nothing I’m wearing is currently available to buy.  That, my friends, is what we call recycling.  I don’t know about you guys, but I am pretty impressed with the fact that it’s almost July and I still haven’t bought one piece of clothing.  Not to toot my own horn or anything, but…toot toot.

On a Hand-Me-Down High

I don’t usually wear pencil skirts with untucked shirts.  Because this skirt is so slim fitting and the shirt is so flowy, I decided that it worked and went for it.  Either way, it’s much more comfortable untucked.

These navy wedges were just given to me from a dear friend who never wore them.  I love them!  I can never seem to find a good navy shoe and this pair is just perfect.  Plus, since I am on a shopping hiatus, I get super excited about hand-me-downs.  May not be new, but they’re new to me!
