So, I challenged myself. If I had only one crisp $100 bill to spend on clothing for the month, could I create an outfit that I would actually want to wear? The answer is a resounding "Yes!" But there's one caveat: tight purse strings mean taking much more time to research potential purchases than working with an unlimited budget.

Just enough money leftover for a Starbucks run.

Did you ever watch that show "Look for Less"? You should bring the show back and be the host. You have quite the eye!!!
ReplyDeleteNo matter what happens, we can always shop at forever 21!
ReplyDeleteI love those studded pumps, but I've yet to have a positive experience with f21 shoes, and I don't know that I'd try again.
The top and the earrings however, will most likely end up in my shopping bag.
Le Sigh of a Fashionista: I forgot all about that show! I wish reruns were still aired!
ReplyDeleteLyddieGal: Forever21 can be a godsend sometimes. Although, I wish they weren't overly represented in my outfit above! Oh well. I've never tried F21 shoes, but I don't hear too many things about them. Shoes are probably worth a splurge.
