I was so excited to be asked to take part in the first ever BeautyRiot Budget Fashion Blogger Contest! Myself and 7 other fabulous ladies were asked to put together an outfit that cost us $100 or less. We had to include a breakdown of the items, where we purchased them & how much we spent. You know I love to share my amazing deals with people, so this was a fun challenge for me! Here is the breakdown of my outfit:
Zara top – purchased on eBay for $25
Laundry by Shelli Segal pleated maxi skirt – purchased on clearance at Marshall’s for $29
BCBGeneration leopard pumps – purchased on clearance + coupon at Macy’s for $12.94
Necklace – purchased on clearance at Target for $14.99
Sonoma hammered bangles – purchased on sale at Kohl’s for $7.99
Thick bangles – purchased on clearance at Target for $9.99
About-Face
Closet Essentials: Spring
Steals Under $30

We really need to go on a shopping trip/weekend together. You always find the most amazing deals like that necklace!! Also- this skirt/top combo makes your waist look 100x skinnier than you already are!

I always love your blog! I can't imagine anyone thinking an outfit is difficult to create on less than 100.00. I'm a frugal shopper and some of my greatest outfits have been less than 25.00!!!! Anyway, love the skirt and the color. You're beautiful as always!
I love every piece of this outfit and can't believe everything was so cheap!

I'm so jealous you found that skirt at Marshall's for $29! I've been looking for a plated maxi like that all spring but every one I find is too expensive! It is perfect!
So when I saw this picture pop up on my phone a few days ago I literally scoured the net looking for this top. It is flawless and you styled it amazingly! I am so jealous you have it but thanks to you my search continues for the perfect top! #inspiring!

Great pictures. That last one is my FAVORITE! It makes you look younger too! Just playful and young!! Who doesn't want to look that way when your a mom.
absolutely love this gorgeous pink skirt! i've gotta go to my marshalls tomorrow and see if i can find one!
I absolutely love this outfit and would have never guessed its from Target! Way to go!
