This is kind of a no brainer...
I'm sure you ladies have that one outfit that you always feel good in (would love to know your faves). Lately for me it's been skinny jeans, a super soft tee shirt, a nice fitted blazer, my tried and true black leather booties (thank goodness they are still in style), and a statement piece of jewelry. Isn't jewelry the best? You can completely transform any look with a great pair of earrings, some noisy bracelets (the sound is half the fun), or a necklace that makes people take notice. Plus you can find the best deals on jewlery, it comes in any size, and it can really personalize your style. One of my favorite pieces is a silver tree necklace that I bought at Von Maur for $3.00!! I get complemented almost every time I wear it, I even have a good friend who said if she ever gets married she wants to wear it for the wedding. I will upload a pic soon..but jewelry is a whole other story..let's get back to the topic at hand. So this outfit of mine is great for a night out with the girls, or dinner with your man. I'm going to show some great ways to make this look with pieces under $100.00.
These jeans are great and they are $39.00 from Urban Outfitters right now. They are made by Cheap Monday. I also really like their brand BDG for jeans, and they are priced very reasonably at about $60.00. If you wanna go even cheaper head to Forever 21 and pick up a pair for $25.00 or less. I do believe jeans are one item to splurge on, but I will go into that later...
Check out this freaking adorable blazer from Zara..I love this! I think this may be my next purchase for fall. This blazer is $99.90. See how great it looks with a simple white tee shirt? You could also pair this with a black pencil skirt or trouser for work..or throw it over a dress. Another I like is a black and white striped option from Express (for some reason I couldn't download the image). Its $68.00, that's including the 30% off sale going on right now.
You can pick up a great tee almost anywhere...I love a good 3 pack of Hanes men's tees. Come on! 10 bucks for 3 shirts!! Grab them at Target. Also try Gap, Old Navy, or Forever 21 for inexpensive tees. For me the softer, the better.
These shoes are $29.90 from American Eagle!! I mean really, how do you ever find shoes this inexpensive?!! They are adorable and super versatile. How cute would these look with a mini skirt and tights during winter? Love, love,love!
This necklace is from Forever 21. it's $7.80. I get a lot of my jewelry here. This is the place to buy the trendy stuff. Here's a tip: to make rings last longer paint them with a coat of clear nail polish. So there we have it..a great ensemble for under $200..it includes things that you can interchange with items already in your closet. Go forth with style my ladies!
