Bleh.
Apparently, Nordstrom did not get the memo that my man put me on a cash-only spending cap, and they sent me their latest catalog debuting their fall fashion Half-Yearly Sale. Surprisingly, I was not impressed with the selection or the 'sale' prices (especially since I have been shopping at Ross - who can beat their prices?), but one outfit caught my eye.
At a whopping $398 (after-sale prices), there ain't nothing that I can say to my man to convince him that this outfit is a must-have for my fall wardrobe. And even if we did have the extra cash laying around, I don't think I could bring myself to spend that kinda dough on one outfit.So I went on a mission, searching through Polyvore, to find a look-a-like version of the outfit I can't get outta my head.
Check it out girls!!! I put this together for a grand total of $161, saving $237!!! Oh yeah!!! How fabulous is that?!? Gotta love sites like endless.com, forever21.com, oldnavy.com, asos.com and modcloth.com. Shopping on a budget is totally do-able, and feels so great when you save while you spend!

that is cute!!! i guess tweed shorts are making a comeback?? i got some at old-navy about 4 years ago & still have them... maybe i am glad i kept them!! ross is awesome! ever since we bought our house i have been put on a budget too, but once year mark is kind enough to let go out where ever i want and just go nuts!! i wish you lived closer... it could be fun to have someone shop at ross w/me!!!
i love ross! and marshalls and tjmaxx...and target - i love how the outfits you put together, total hotness! I've always loved tweed, I think it's totally back this fall!
I {love} asos.com!!
I had an interview today and when it was through, I noticed a thrift shop next door. I hadn't ever been there before but went in and took a look around. I found 2 dresses for only $6.00, including tax! I don't typically shop at thrift shops but do on occasion. One of the dresses is a Liz Claiborne. Can't beat that!
okay coveting and totally stealing...LOVE THIS!!! tights with shorts is one of my FAVORITES!!! and i already have the black tights and yeah i have boots...booo...but i could always use new ones!!!! YEY!!! love it!
That's so cool that you did that! Unfortunately it still seems like too much money to me for one outfit! I'm a cheapo! I'm going to have to check out some of those websites though!
