Just show you all how I hip I am this is the sort of tags I'd be blowing you mind with if I followed this trend. Let's start with the feet
Shoes and Socks: pink and brown loafers. Slightly rockabilly, slightly preppy. black socks
KACHING! - $34.95
Pants: Jeans, from a warehouse sale, Butt looks just peachy in them. Nondescipt Sportsgirl belt bought when dropped some kilos quickly.
KACHING! $79.95
Top: Black Saba tube top, bought to wear with a very expensive dress for a wedding. An essential in my wardrobe now I don't know how I lived without it.
KACHING! - $50.00
Sweater: 1950's secretary pink wool sweater. Op shop special
KACHING! $5.00
So in total I would be flashing $169.90 which probably puts me in this category....
