Fab for $50 (Or Approximately)
June 13, 2008
Even though I love fashion, I know that sometimes it’s hard to stretch those quarters and dollars far enough when we’re shopping, so I came up with a few stylish, but money conscious outfits from American Eagle, Old Navy, and Target for $50.00, or approximately, (not including shipping and tax if you shop online). With a little bit of thought you can stretch $50.00 pretty far (and even farther if you shop in thrift stores!) and still look great. The trick with these outfits is that you buy pieces that will coordinate, i.e. a a pair of jeans and two great tops plus an accessory that you can mix and match with.

Just because you are on a budget doesn’t mean you have to dress grungy or frumpy, being stylish is possible even with a limited clothing allowance.

Great post Anna! I should quit bemoaning myself about how I don’t have anything. After reading that I realized just how many outfits I can put together.

Good. That advice cost you $50.00. I take checks or cash.
