End of Summer Outfits with $1 Pieces

Bows are a fashion staple for my long hair.  Left was bought many years
ago at the San Jose Museum of Art.  The Geisha was a chopstick holder.
It is made of handmade paper and mixed media.  It has matching earrings, fans with Japanese coins. The black sparkly bow on the right is from Von Maur Dept. Store, but from the children's section!  It is very classy, not childish, and only $6.  Don't be afraid to get out of the clothes closet to hunt for bargains.

Sleeveless printed shift embellished with tiny glass beads is paired with a red cotton
sweater with applique decorations.  Jewelry includes a Squash Blossom inspired necklace, $12 Wal-Mart, a
and a pair of Indonesian mask earrings with red bead skull bracelet.  The shift and cardigan cost $1 each at a local Dress for Success Sale opened to the public.
