Your next look under $20!

This whole outfit for less than $20!


As I've mentioned before, I love a good bargain, but that doesn't mean that I sacrifice looking by best.  This outfit is really comfortable but punk. Here's the break down:

Pashmina scarf - Boscov's for $4.99
Coincidence and Chance sweater with elbow patches - Goodwill store for $4.95  (Similar sweater at retail prices)
Army green straight cut pants - hand-me-down. (S/O to Lindsay)
Army issue dress lace up boots- yard sale for $5.
4 wooden bangles - Macy's on sale for $2.50

Grand total! $17.44! 

I love this look, but I would love to hear how you would change it up! Let me know in the comments. Check out my Lookbook, too!
Hype this look!

Get her look, for way less: Cara Delevingne

Look, let me set this straight... I love fashion. I love the evolution of fashion.  I love the innovation in fashion. I hate the overpriced branding of fashion.  I love taking trends and making them accessible for everyone.  So, I love the segments in fashion mags that show what a celebrity is wear and how you can get that look. Unfortunately, depending on the magazine, even the "regularly priced" items are too expensive for me... (#collegekidprobs) So, I have created my own segment. Enjoy!

Ahhh Miss Cara Delevingne. If not currently, she will be the world's top model in a matter of a very short time. This is a stunning look that she wore to an event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Of course, this jumpsuit probably cost her hundreds, but you can get the same look for much less. 

This, is a plunging neck-line, sleeveless jumpsuit similar to Cara's but for the grand total of $27.00 with shipping. I found this on eBay.  Just search in Google "black jumpsuit" and you will find thousands of options that are all very flattering. This is the closest model I could find that was under $50. (http://bit.ly/1f1Tb5r) Now for the accessories...
Maurice's link belt: $15.00 (http://bit.ly/1iCuIat)
Modcloth $24.99 (http://bit.ly/1f1V3Lo)
Finally, for the shoes, almost any black pump will do the trick, but feel free to mix it up with bright colors or even crazy patterns.  I found really reasonable black pumps:
These beauties can be bought for $46.99 at Milanoo.com (http://bit.ly/1f1VXYn)
So if you don't have black pumps at home, and want to buy the whole look, your total will be: $115.98.  The best part about this outfit is that it actually can be used in different ways.  Want to cover up? Add a fluffy and colorful scarf. Want to go more gutsy? Try wearing a button up shirt underneath. Get creative but don't ever think that you can't afford fashion.
