"How do you always find such great deals?!" my friend asked me the other day. I answered, "I have to find great deals because I'm cheap and my husband's cheap."
Don't get me wrong, It's ok to splurge on the basic essentials in your wardrobe. But I'm a sucker for inexpensive fabulous clothes. Here's my secret: at the change of each season I make an excel spreadsheet (yup, I said it) of my "must have" items. Then I do my research. Where can I find the best quality stuff for the lowest prices? Patience is a virtue, my friends.
So, here is an example of one of my favorite outfits for fall. Everything at bargain prices. 
1. Ann Taylor’s Loft: Slub Cotton Dolman Sleeve Shirt
www.loft.com $15
I love this shirt. It’s soo comfy, and I can dress it up or down.
2. Old Navy: The Sweetheart Skinny Jeans
www.oldnavy.com $29.50
I have 2 pairs of these. Gray and Blue. They’re fabulous.
3. Steve Maddens: Trouser Flat
www.amazon.com $55-.96-65.95 (depending on color)
Tip: Go to Nordstrom Rack- I found my Oxfords on sale for $30, and I am obsessed!
4. Forever 21: Serpentine Layered Necklace
www.forever21.com $7.80
I love how feminine and delicate this necklace is. It’s a nice contrast to the masculine blazer and oxfords.
5. Forever 21: Romania Beaded Bracelet
www.forever21.com $8.80
Who doesn’t love a fun bracelet!?
6. Zara: Metallic Jogging Blazer
www.zara.com $89.99
So, I realize this isn’t exactly at bargain price, but like I said it’s ok to splurge on a classic, basic piece for your wardrobe. I saw this sucker in the store, and I have been obsessed ever since. I’m waiting for next month and a refreshed shopping budget. J
Where’s your favorite place to bargain hunt?
