More Dash Than Cash?

As we tighten our economic belts, we need not appear any less stylish! Model Jean Patchett shows us how.

Here, Jean models a "dime-store outfit, accessorized with gold kid belt, nickel-plated charm braclet, a choker, and three costume braclets."

This is "a dime-store hot weather costume which costs $3.41, including rough-straw bonnet."

Jean beats the heat by cleverly using "three 'allway scarves,' which make a bathing suit, totaling $1.98."

Here are "20 braclets, at a nickel a piece, enlivening simple white shirt."

Leave the heirlooms in the safe, when you can fool 'em with "huge Woolworth earrings, pearls, and rhinestone clips."

An example of "cheap white touches that set off [an] expensive black dress."
