On a recent shopping excursion I had a mission to buy an outfit with only the $80 cash I had in my wallet. A few hours later, the mission was successfully accomplished. I had a 3-piece outfit ($27 silk top, $27 fully beaded cropped sweater and $22 trousers) with $4 to spare. With picky choosing I managed to find three pieces that look more costly than their actual worth.
One great store to find a steal on an ultra-trendy look is Forever 21. I have put together two of the moment looks (shoes and accessories included for under $136). Both outfits transition seamlessly from the office to the evening. The best part is, you’ll look like you spent hundreds on these uber-chic outfits!
