The shirt and belt were from a WIZO thrift store run by three grumpy old women who got used to seeing me come in every week. The skirt was a brand new find from a Goodwill right across the street from my student teaching site. The shoes were a splurge two summers ago, and worn well into schlumpiness/ should really be given away status a while ago. All together, it's an outfit that speaks to my history over the past year, to my growing sense of confidence in my style and my willingness to take risks. It's cobbled together from multiple stories (the shirt was really a pajama top that I almost put back until the thriftstore owner convinced me that a good washing and bleaching in the sun would take care of it, and who knows where the skirt originally hailed from?) and it looks ass-kickingly cute (actually almost too cute and theme-y, looking back at it) and it was about $5 all together.
