An Outfit Under $100…Way Under

When donning ridiculously short shorts, I try to even out the slut factor with something loose-fitting and non-revealing on top.

I think this top/vest combo subdues these bootylicious $13 Jean Shorts from Necessary Clothing appropriately. Then again, my notion of what constitutes appropriate is possibly skewed by my Garden State roots. Whatever. I effing heart this outfit.

I bought the vest eons ago at Monk‘s thriftastic Park Slope location – eleven bucks, if memory serves. As you can plainly see, said vest and this Target Tri-Blend Tank (which, even in spite of pillage, I can’t stop wearing) make a fab pair. The vest isn’t just cool; it’s effing magical. What, praytell, makes it so?
It’s reversible. Um, hello AWESOME.

Let’s conclude with the overall cost of this look. The boots are on loan from my BFF Lucy (originally her Mom’s, circa 1970-something) and as such, cost zero dollars. With the $11 vest, $6 tank and $13 shorts, the whole shebang is $30, TOTAL.

Methinks I’ve got The Today Show schooled in the Under-$100 Outfit capacity.
