Day 45- Blue Chevron Skirt

All I want to say is that I was into chevron before it was even a "thing." I have had this skirt for years that I found at Gap for $4.00. This means that not only am I awesome, but I am also ahead of the fashion trends Sorry about the picture, the skirt looks wrinkly in it, but it's just a size too big so it doesn't photograph well. I promise I don't leave the house (often) with wrinkles in my clothes! The top is also from Gap and was found at the outlets for $2.00 (so naturally I purchased three in different colors). The bangle is from my grandma and is a real vinatge jewelry piece, while the earrings are from Charlotte Russe for $2.00. The adorable sandals are Vera Wang's that were given to me by my mom. Total Cost = $ 8.00

Day 44- Green and Navy

If you haven't caught on by now that I am obsessed with Navy, then you aren't paying attention. This adorable skirt was found at Gap for $6.00 with no broken zipper! The cardi is from Old Navy and was $5.00, while the shoes are from Target for $3.00. The bangles were found at Banan Republic for $3.00 last summer. I was given the cardigan a million years ago. Total cost: $17.00




Day 43- Floral Ruffle Dress

I really love this dress, as it has a lot of unique features. However, it's about two sizes two big at this point, so just ignore the baggy sizes. I found this dress at Kohl's for $4.00 in the 90% off section! The dress features fabric buttons and pleats up the front, as well as ruffles for added adorableness. It's a light fabric so it can be worn during the summer months. The open cardigan is from The Limited and was $3.00. The shoes are Banana Republic for $4.00. Total Cost $11.00





Day 42- Nautical Polka Dot Skirt

So I have really good friends. My friends understand my love for all things fashionable and cheap, and this particular friend found this cute Target skirt and picked it up for me! Thanks Veronica!! The top is from Old Navy and I believe it was $2.00. The cardigan, jewelry and shoes were all gifts from assorted stores! I tried to showcase my sock bun in this picutre, but this was toward the end of the day so it looks a bit messy. Total cost $2.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Day 41- Date Night Dress

After a long week, my cute husband asked me out on a date on Thursday! I was super excited, because then I could wear one of my date night dresses that I can't wear to work. The picture is a little blurry, but the dress is navy and has pleats in the front AND pockets! This dress is from Forever 21 and I found it for $5.00. The belt is also from Forever 21 and was $3.00 (and as you can notice, I wear it ALL the time). The boots are from Target and were $9.00, and also go with EVERYTHING. Total cost of this cute lil number $17.00. I also paired the outfit with pearl earrings my hubby gave me for our wedding!


Day 40- Mauve Fancy Dress

Hello Everyone! We have reached 40 days! For those of you critics there has only been TWO days in which I have not worn a dress, and on some days I have even worn TWO per day!! Anyhow, I bought this dress when I was finishing up my graduate program in Kentucky. I found it in the corner of a sale rack at NY & Co. for $4.00 and snagged it. The shoes are from Rue 21 and were $4.00. The brown and mauve necklace was a gift and the vintage bracelet was from my great grandmother who owned a dress shop in the 1950's I believe. She OWNED her own shop full of dresses and feminine wonders. ..sigh....I miss her. So, the total cost for this outfit was $8.00!



Day 39- Navy Eyelet Picnic Dress

Hooray! It's a bit warmer out so I can really start wearing my summer dresses. This adorable find is from Gap and was $4.00 with a broken zipper, which changed the total to $6.00. I installed a "hook and eye" on the top of it, to ensure that it wouldn't fall off (which would be a nightmare). The dress is very full which can sometimes make a woman look heavier, so I added a belt to accentuate my waist ( Forever 21--- $3.00). This dress has POCKETS, which makes it even more awesome. The shoes are from Gap $4.00, and the cardigan is from Gabriel Brothers for $3.00. The bangle is a Banana Republic for $3.00 and the scarf is from Walmart (GASP) for $1.50. The total cost is $20.50!
