What I wore Wednesday 2

So, for the second week I am joining Lindsay at The Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday. But I put my own spin on it, and call my version the garage sale edition.
Our weather is still so screwy, last week we hit highs in the 90's, but this week, we had some overcast mornings where the weather didn't warm up into the 60's until late afternoon. I find that I change my clothes quite often. I was thinking that I did 2 loads of laundry a day because I have three kids, but nope, it's because mama changes four times a day!
Let's start with Thursday. It was in the 90's by late afternoon, and we don't have air conditioning, so it was literally cooler outside than it was inside. So, a few friends threw together a last minute beach picnic to get us all out of our houses in the evening. It was wonderful!
I wore my MacGyver Dress that I made from a free box pillowcase, and a 50 cent Hollister tank top.
Total cost for the outfit: 50 cents

On Friday, I totally forgot to take a picture, but everything I wore was from a garage sale, and I am sure you will see it next week.
Saturday was a lovely day that we spent at the beach and on the boat.
Tank top-Banana Republic-50 cents
Skirt: Free! Made from my hubby's old t-shirts-tutorial here
Total cost for the outfit: 50 cents
On Sunday we headed to church and it was a little chilly in the morning
Top-TJ Maxx-$14.99 Two years ago (see I don't buy EVERYTHING at garage sales!)
Jeans-See Thru Soul-$2
Shoes-Old Navy black cork wedges $1
Sunday afternoon was spent on the boat and at the beach again for my nieces third birthday.
Top: American Eagle 25 cents
Skirt: Hollister 50 cents
Total cost for the outfit: 75 cents

Monday was spent cleaning the house after carting kids to swimming lessons and baseball camp
Top-American Eagle: $1
Jeans-Target 5 years ago

Tuesday I took the kids to swimming again, then to the park and home for a playdate before going to a focus group meeting I had at Starbucks. This was a four outfit day, but I only have two pictured-the others were workout gear for my A.M. workout, and different gear for mowing the grass.
Cardigan-American Eagle $1
Tank top (same as above)-Banana Republic 50 cents
Jeans-See Through Soul $2
Total outfit cost-$3.50

I wore this outfit in the afternoon to the focus group.
Shirt-DKNY $1

Shoes: Old Navy peep toe $2
Total outfit cost-$5

Wednesday was spent shuttling kids, going to the CSA farm co-op and then off to the park with some friends for a picnic
Top-Nordstrom 50 cents
Capri's-Old Navy $1
Black flip flops-J. Crew $1
Total outfit:$2.50
And that's a week folks! Let's see what I can come up with next week. See you then!
