I purchased this for a whopping $3.99 at “Goodwill.” The tags were still on and it had never been worn! Retail value: $32.00

This garment was a size large, 🙁 but it was from a junior manufacturer. This means it was not meant to fit a 53 year old mother of two LOL!

My solution? Add some gussets on the sides. That gave my curvy hips more room while giving the illusion that I am a little skinnier. Love the magic of color blocking!

I have paired it with my retro bell bottoms ($9.99 from “Old Navy”) and a necklace I made myself. (See below) The purse is a long ago purchase. I can’t even remember the price or where I got it, but it is a denim friendly shade of blue and a basic barrel style. The boots are the brown version of what I like to call my “faux stillettos.”
