Today's Obsession: Saving Dough

7:42 PM

I used to have no problem with dropping $200 on pair of a-freaking-mazing designer skinny jeans or spending $50 on a plain white t-shirt because oh-em-gee I would die without it. But let's face the facts, our economy sucks right now and I am definitely not immune to its effects. So what's a shopaholic to do when money is tight?


While the occasional splurge is great, there's a much better way to shop that's much easier on the wallet. Let's sound out the words slowly together ladies and gents, it's called "buy-ing-on-a-budg-et". Just think, for the same price as a pair of designer jeans, you could buy a whole outfit! So for today's post, I decided to showcase some of the hottest steals on the market today! Get ready to save some of that hard-earned cash because all of my picks are under $50!

Date night with your new BF? Drinks with the girls? Holiday work party? Slip on a pair of blush platforms with this one shoulder sensation. This dress exposes the perfect amount skin so you'll look sexy, not skanky.

Sweater: Wide-fit Sweater Top
Price: $19.80


Feeling more granny than rock and roll in your sweater set? Throw this adorable sweater with the crochet detail on over a long tank top (I suggest a beige one) and torn up black jeans. To play up your inner rocker girl, pair with tall black boots and a smokey eye. (See yesterday's post for smokey eye directions!)

Dress: Goldy Dress by Motel
Price: $64.90 $34.93


If you don't have a party to go, you better make plans A.S.A.P. if you plan on adding this little number to your collection. Get ready to see jaws drop! Make sure to keep accessories at a minimum (think earrings and a cocktail ring) and keep the look sleek with a classic pair of black pumps.

Shoes: Roxy Eclair in Met Black
Price: $34.00


These flats are a great alternative to wear on a day when you want to give your feet a rest. Plus the frilly ruffle detail is just so freaking cute! At this price, might as well get these bad boys in every color!

I'm a huge fan of bracelet watches. Actually, I'm just a huge fan of watches in general. And I am definitely contemplating adding this one to my collection! It's the perfect accessory to add some sparkle to any outfit!
