New months call for new beginnings and this month I would like to take the opportunity to announce the launch of a new biweekly series on my blog- which I like to call " UNDER 100 " ......Every other week I'll curate looks where the total of my outfit would be under $100, accessories excluded unless otherwise stated.
As a fashion/beauty blogger it is easy to get carried away towards impulse shopping tendencies. I don't say I come out clean, but I always try to live by a shopping budget. There are times when my budget for a month is all exhausted, and I have to wait until the next month begins. But that's the story of every other blogger's life- what sets one apart is creating invariably outstanding looks and still staying within budget, and I would definitely like to set myself apart.
So today I give to you my first office-appropriate look- the total of all items except for the boots and bag falls well under $100. So keep reading for the moolah rundown of this look.....
faux leather jacket- Forever21, another under $100 option top- NY&Co. ( similar, splurge ) skirt - NY&Co ( under $100, over $100 ) boots- Steve Madden ( similar ) bag- Kate Spade
SOME TRIED AND TESTED TIPS FOR SAVING THOSE EXTRA BUCKS:
--When shopping on a budget- coupons and store email signups are your best ally. Stores occasionally send out email exclusive coupons which can come in handy while shopping on a budget.
--Befriending a cousales associates from your favorite stores might also work in your favor when you need that little extra boost towards racking up those discounts. If your rapport is good, then they might just throw in a discount code or extra something off, exclusive to the members and associates only.
Now for the number part of this look: only sunnies included.
Forever 21 Jacket- $35 , regular price ----------------------------------------------------------------> $35 NY&Co. blouse- $25, sale price -------------------------------------------------------------------------> 25 NY&Co. skirt- $60, extra 40%, the SA topped off with a $15 off $30 coupon------------------> $21
Express sunglasses- $30, used $15 off $30 coupon ------------------------------------------------> $15 ---------- TOTAL $96 ( JACKPOT WON )
These are some of my ways of saving those buck, what are your tricks for saving those Benjamins???
Have a great day loves.....
