Thrifty, Chic or Pathetic?

Here's the situation.
I have safety pins holding my zipper up on my jeans (b/c the zipper doesn't go all the way up & my jeans are low risers - no overly becoming on a girl with hip & tummy issues, I digest.)


The shirt I am wearing, well blouse, used to have 3 buttons at the bottom. It's a silky material & I lost the buttons so....
I have 2 buttons in the places of the top & bottom button (because I still have the middle, albeit hanging on by a thread.)


So you tell me, thrifty, chic or just plain pathetic?



Late!
