The comment bothered me for multiple reasons, but the biggest is that you don't have to spend a lot to look good. I quickly learned that by reading multiple fashion blogs (FFUF, Frugal Fashionistas, The Look For Less, etc.), so it got me thinking. About change. About going on a diet.
So, I'm making a pledge. For the next 60 days I'm going on a fashion diet. I'm imposing a strict limit of what I'm spending on clothing, accessories, shoes... you name it. I will not be purchasing any article of clothing over $50, shoes included (yikes!). And to make it even better, I'm cutting my monthly budget in half. I'll spare
Kimchi Blue Paperbag Skirt - via Urban Outfitters - $49 |
Deena & Ozzy Summer Skimmer via Urban Outfitters - $30 |
Striped Jersey Dress via Zara - $40 |
I've got to say, I'm actually looking forward to this challenge. It should be really interesting, especially as my birthday is the end of July and I'm notorious for purchasing myself some wonderful gifts (we all deserve it, don't we?)
So, dear readers, are there any sites you love for reasonable fashion? I'm open to your recommendations.
I completely agree with you. I hate when people say spending a lot for quality is the best way to go. I think everyone can look good even when they budget (I found some of my favorite and unique looking pieces in inexpensive stores..and they last too!)
ReplyDeleteoh and I LOVE that coral skirt..now thats a steal!

Now I want to know what your fashion budget is ;-) Mine is sadly not a fixed budget haha! I tend to shy away from spending too much, even though I know that really quality pieces last forever. Maybe we need to shop together for a few of those quality pieces...you can shop vicariously through me! :) Love this challenge!
ReplyDeleteLa vie Jamie and I are both on a spending diet, too! I am so glad to have someone else in the same boat. It is unbelievable how much I can spend on clothes sometimes; I think it is a fun challenge to locate those "finds" for less! And Miss Neira is right, that pink skirt is fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support ladies! I can't wait to take on the challenge and show off some of my finds!
