Weekend Chic

Whether you are hanging out with the girls, taking care of the long list of errands or spending time with your special cutie at the park this is a perfect outfit.  Not only is it functional it is stylish with a mix of textures and colors that compliment one another.  Although it is still summer, quickly approaching is autumn which leaves a cool breeze in the air in the evening.  The 3/4 sleeve sweater gives just enough warmth along with the leggings. The boots and wrapped beads add a finishing pizzazz to this funky chic look. So what am I wearing? See the style notes below.

67 Lindens and a Dream

I had 67 Lindens when I woke up this morning.  I was about to add more, but then a little trumpet sounded in my head, calling me to a challenge… HOW many outfits could I put together for just 67 Lindens? Outfits that look, to me, as nicely put together as anything I have actually purchased?  Could I really live the Sweet Life I had become accustomed to on such a diminished budget!?

You should know– I am NOT a budget shopper.  I am a total sucker, the kind the shops can’t wait to open their doors for every day.  I am not proud of it.  This challenge was really a test of my own (heretofore unseen) self-control, and a test to see if I could look like a diva without spending like one.

The rules: I could use my existing purchased skin, since I didn’t feel like photoshopping demo marks off my face, or waiting a million years for a “J” to come up in a lucky chair.  (See, this is just the kind of attitude that normally thwarts my frugality…).  So skins were in.  Also allowed: accessorizing my new outfits with a few freebies I had managed to like enough to keep in my inventory.  JUST accessories, no main outfit pieces allowed!

In the end, I spent:

L$51 on dresses

L$ 11 on tops or pants

L$2 on tights

L$ 1 on shoes

L$1 on hair

L$1 on accessories

… and I used 2 hairs that I had already purchased.  I think the phrase is, “reduce, REUSE, and recycle”, right?  🙂

OK, have you had enough caveats?  In that case– here are the results, with pics and slurls, listed from most to least expensive:
