I have to tell you I got very excited when I put this entire ensemble together for under $5.00.  Going to one of my favorite thrift stores where everything was priced at $1.50 that day, EVERYTHING, makes for a nice day.  Knowing this my goal was to search to see if I can actually put together an entire look, and I think I did.  First I found this Nanette Lepore silk top size small and the color of a washed out stalk of celery, completely wonderful and very Spring 2010.  Natette designs in her atelier in New York City alongside her husband, Robert, who helms the business side of the worldwide brand.   Next I needed a bottom and what better bottom than Tahari.  These gorgeous black slacks with a subtle print goes from office to evening in a blink of those Dior eyelashes.  Women have been drawn to Elie Tahari designs for over three decades, and this devoted following continues to revel in the feminine embellishments, sensual fabrics, and subtle textures that have come to define the Elie Tahari collection.  Finally I needed a pair of shoes and these raspberry BCBG Paris slingback shoes are perfect.  I gobbled them up so fast you would have thought I was at the Neiman Marcus Final Last Call Sale.  The light color top with the black slacks and that simple splash of color in the shoes makes this one SEXed up ensemble and all for under 5 bucks.  Yes I’m patting myself on the back right now.  Don’t forget to shop at The Thrifters Boutique and follow me on Twitter & Facebook.  For your entertainment check out my YouTube videos.   Toodles for now.  Daniel
