Everyone is invited to play along using polyvore or any other creative medium that you choose - simply leave a comment with your link. All other "Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake" posts can be found here. Next post will be MONDAY, March 9 (post will go up at 3pm EST) to the lyrics: "I want a girl with the right allocations".

New series!!!

Gah! It's here... this little project has been whirling in my mind for WEEKS! I am so excited to dive in and hopefully you guys will enjoy it!

I have always love, love, loved Cake's "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" - because seriously, who is this girl? Have you paid any attention at all to these awesome lyrics???? This is my kind of crazy quirkiness. So in honor of Cake's sheer genius - I am launching a polyvore series inspired by this amazing girl! Don't you want to just be her?

Today's installment... is one of a general sort... here's one rockin' chick in a short skirt/long jacket:

I will be creating fun and funky outfits on polyvore - completely inspired by this song! And I would be so, so, so pleased if you decided to play along!!! Tuesday's outfit will be to the lyrics (and the songs opening line) "... I want a girl with a mind like a diamond" and Wednesday's outfit will be to the lyrics "... I want a girl that knows what's best". You can use polyvore or whatever other editing software or creative outlet you have access to! If you have never experimented on polyvore now is your time! It can be as fun and outrageous as you can dream... or as simple. Email me (goodlifeforless (at) gmail (dot) com) or leave a comment with a link to your outfit and I will link to your blog/outfit here!

Happy Valentines!

Here's a fun and flirty (and no doubt indulgent!) outfit I did a couple days/weeks back inspired by Valentines Day...

Have a fun and flirty day!

work it wednesday, folks!

Last week the internet hugged me when I introduced the concept of "working" one wardrobe piece three ways. (and more here) And who doesn't love a little internet hug here and there. Sure are less awkward than real-life ones with people you don't know... so I thought we would make it a weekly event! The post, not necessarily the hugs, but if you want to give hugs... I'll take 'em.

Today I am going to tackle layers again, because today in Michigan it was 60 and sunny and by the end of the week they are forecasting snow. So, yeah, dressing can be a little difficult these days. And to be honest, it will be this way until about April or May. Warm, cold, colder, mild, warm... etc.

This Long Slub V-Neck Tee from Forever 21 is a steal at $12.80! It may look like just a tee shirt... but here's a way to make it uber versatile! Layers are the key!
