Marshall’s Style Challenge





I was so excited when Marshall’s contacted me about being involved in their blogger’s style challenge.  They sent me a $100 gift card to use to create an entire look based around one of the following themes: color, prints or ladylike with an edge.  I love a good challenge so I couldn’t wait to head to my local store and check out their new arrivals for fall.  

After browsing through the racks and making repeated trips to the dressing room, I finally decided to try incorporating all 3 themes into my outfit.  Here’s a breakdown of the pieces I’m wearing & how much I spent (full disclosure: I did go over the $100 limit & chose to use $20 of my own, because I was needing to replace my old black pumps & these were perfect):

French Connection snake-print blouse – $49.99 (orig. $128)
Kenar wool pencil skirt – $24.99 (orig. $42)
Ralph Lauren Amelie pumps – $45.00 (orig. $99)

{In addition to the items listed above, I’m also wearing: ASOS clutch (on sale here), Accessorize necklace (similar), Bracelets: Vintage & J. Crew, Lips: CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Smooch}

The most exciting part about this challenge is that Marshall’s also graciously sent me another $100 gift card to share with one lucky reader – for them to use in creating their own head-to-toe look!  


HOW TO ENTER:
1) Follow PPF on at least one of these platforms: Facebook, Twitter or BlogLovin

And our winner is…

Congratulations – I will be emailing you shortly & sending off your gift card for you to shop for your own designer pieces for less from Marshall’s!

    I think you did a great job with all three themes! Since I'm posting from my google account, does that give you a way to email me without having to put my email address in the comment?

    I recently graduated college and started a new job in June. I happened to stumble across your blog around the time I started my job, and I'm so glad I did. Your posts have shown me that a working girl can still dress cute, work appropriate, and on a budget. Many of my newest pieces of clothing for work have come from Marshall's, and winning a gift card would be wonderful! My email is calleyrbarrett@gmail.com and I follow you on Facebook and (most recently) blog lovin. Thanks for the great give-away and thanks for the style inspiration!
