My Outfit Monday: Brainy Sunday in the park
How was your weekend?
I had one day of mindless swimming and snacking and sports watching, followed by some serious brain time on Sunday. Deal Diva Katie and I are in a club in which we read and discuss magazine stories, kind of like a book club but for journalism. This is the kind of thing that would appeal to non-journalists as much as having your eyelashes ripped out by a rabid toucan, but we like it! Our meeting this Sunday was in beautiful Philippe Park in Safety Harbor, my favorite park on the planet. Check us out!
We're reading a 1994 Hunter S. Thompson piece about Richard Nixon. IT'S TOTALLY CANDID, WE SWEAR. I'm wearing flare jeans and leopard wedges from Old Navy. I mixed it with a Forever 21 hand-me-down top from my friend, Amanda, who is moving and asked her friends to come over and take ALL HER THINGS. I gladly obliged. I thought I was doing some artful mixing of prints with the shoes and top, but on further inspection, I think the prints were both too small and actually competed. But hey, we don't know until we try! My necklace was 50 cents, I think, at Second Image thrift store in Pinellas Park.
Katie here is sporting a dress she's had for six years. I say if it ain't broke, don't ever let it go (hoarder alert). We'll be seeing Katie in this dress come 2034. And she'll be working it, still discussing in depth the New York Times magazine piece on the demise of the Bulldog.
What did you all do this weekend?

Katie Sanders foolishly spurned pretty dresses and shoes as a child, tossing new clothes over her shoulder at birthday parties with a totally rude "no, thank you." Her drab days of monocolor outfits are over now, and she certainly knows better than to turn down free stuff. Her wardrobe mixes classic with quirk. Think blazers with statement necklaces, and lots of patterned ballet flats. She can be reached at 850) 224-7263 or 
Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost, but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan, she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power. She lives for 80 percent off shoes at DSW, floral sundresses and bohemian chic tops. She confesses to being a bit of a snob when it comes to handbags and jewelry. She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or 
From camo pants and construction boots to sundresses, sweaters and sling backs, Keyonna Summers knows how to make all of it rock -- at rock bottom prices. A Detroit native, Keyonna delves into her urban roots to find fashion pairings that give a nod to street fashion while maintaining the class of the modern, professional woman. She believes in searching for affordable clothes that look expensive and can easily be dressed up or down. You won't find plaid shirts or fleece jackets in her closet; the only hiking Keyonna does is to the bargain basement. She can be reached at (727) 445-4153 or
