You Don’t Have to Spend a Lot to Look Like a Fortune
I wore this outfit to work and got so many compliments on my necklace. People kept asking me if I had just bought it at our last jewelry trunk show.
That’s when I sort of had to giggle to myself as I meekly responded with a mysterious “no…” I didn’t want to disappoint and seem like a traitor by having shopped elsewhere so I kept my un-lipstick-ed mouth shut. But by the third time that I was asked, I couldn’t keep the cheap secret to myself and found myself whispering “Forever 21” to a shocked colleague. I loved the expression on her face so much that I felt compelled to continue whispering, “It was only around 20 dollars” (while covering my hand over my mouth as if I were releasing top secret information).
I love mixing high and low brands! I think it’s all about how you mix it up and style it up. The rest of the outfit includes:
- Zara blazer (around $49)
- ruffle tee shirt from TJ Maxx (around $20)
- jean skirt by Brooklyn Industries (bought on sale for only $15)
- leather and fur boots by In & Out (yea like the burger)
- designer purse that I brought to work not pictured here
