Chic for Cheap: Inspired by a Flickr Photo

The Inspiration (by Jessica E.)

Hello lovelies...it's chic for cheap time!  Today's look was inspired by one my my favorites on flickr.  I so wish that those storage drawers were mine...don't you just love them?!

I first started my outfit with the linen pants, because I just purchased this exact pair over the weekend and I'm a bit obsessed.  Everything else was selected with comfort in mind (hopefully without sacrificing style).  I envision wearing this outfit out to brunch with the girls or for a fun day of window shopping.

• Pleated Henley - Old Navy
• Kirstie Striped Scarf - Delias
• Drawstring Linen-blend Pants - Gap
• Chantel Button Hobo Bag - Delias
• Sleek Leather Flip-flops - Gap

I too have a thing for linen pants and by thing I mean obsession. As for those great drawers - they are indeed lovely, but its a little bittersweet for me to see as I have been hunting for years for a similar piece for my drafts and sketches. I can only seem to find metal filing cabinets and drawers. Really such a great piece; so much character!

Hmmm, I wonder how hard it would be to make one. Any carpenters out there?

for some reason this is one of my favorite "chic for cheap" entries of yours - i think it's because i love the "flow" from flickr photo to clothing collage. thanks for sharing!
