Frugal and Fab
This post is about one dress and one purse, both frugal and fab.
I noticed after purchasing my work tote at a Korean boutique that it was a replica of a Balenciaga tote that Olivia Palermo carries. The Balenciaga bag looks like this.
I love Olivia Palermo’s style so it’s not surprising I was drawn to a similar bag. Below are my outfit posts with a replica bag that I didn’t even realize was a replica.
In the above picture I’m wearing:
- dress and blazer – H&M (about $50)
- belt – vintage ($20)
- shoes – Aldo ($60)
- purse – from a Korean boutique (about $80)
- necklace – from a Korean boutique (about $20)
- dress – H&M ($50?)
- hat ($30)
- belt ($20)
- shoes – Aldo ($30)
- tote – bought from a Korean boutique
I loved how this polka dotted dress had such a vintage feel. I saw it on a mannequin at H&M, immediately did a bee-line towards the dress and charged the $50 faster than you could say “frugal and fab.” I was so excited to start styling it that I styled the two outfits pictured above as soon as I returned home. I can imagine also wearing it with brown boots and belt. It’s a great transition dress that works at the workplace as well as outside of it. What do you think?
