Boots: $14.99 Purchased from Value Village
These pale gray, low-heeled boots are my go-to shoes whenever I want to give myself a mini boost in height. They are super comfortable and matches most anything I wear. When I wore these boots the other day, a girl came up to me and said, "I love your boots! Where did you get them from?". I replied, "I got them from Value Village". She then paused for a moment, stared at me quizzically, and asked, "Do you know if they have anymore"?
Needless to say, they answer is probably a No. Haha

I love this vintage royal blue dress with printed red and white florals! When I originally tried the dress on, it was long, dowdy and below-the-knees. I debated whether it was even worth getting hemmed, or to simply leave it behind. But then I noticed that the dress had built-in pockets and I was sold. I adore dresses with pockets! The only unfortunate thing was that it cost me $24 to get the dressed hemmed at a nearby BusyBee. That is more than double the price of the dress...blah! Oh well, it is still worth it to own a one-of-a-kind dress. Unless you have one too, then I will be truly disappointed.
Socks: $2.50 Purchased from Forever 21
Belt: Free Purchased from Forever 21
This belt was paired alongside some denim shorts I bought over the summer. I like how the bohemian print of this accessory accentuates the floral patterning of the dress, highlighting all the colours of the outfit.
Frugal Finds Total: $27.48
Awesome first blog and nice model pix too! :)
ReplyDeleteFun to read, great photos, love the B&W background, makes your outfit pop! Also love the breakdown of the outfit, reminds me of Rachel Ray's old TV show where she dined at lunch and dinner for like $40 a day. And hilarious last line of your profile. I will definitely be a follower. Can't wait to read more, I will share your link with my friends!
Cute dress - I love the fact that it has pockets, that can be a deal-breaker for me. I hear from IP that you are a great frugal shopper and score some amazing deals! I think I need to learn a thing or two from you. Looking forward to your next posts!
