Budget Buys: Lean, Green, Spend-Thrift Machine

Lean, Green, Spend-Thrift Machine

Its been a while since I did a budget friendly post.  And when I saw this wrap dress by Mix Apparel I realised that one was long over due!  At only $25.00 for the dress, and that being the most expensive component of this look, its a real steal!

Featuring (price low to high):

• Tidy Slip On Flat by Target - $8.00
• Hot Options Envelope Clutch by Target - $15.00
• Mish Mash of Green Tones Bracelets by Diva - $16.99
• Long Sleeve Boyfriend Cardigan by Mix Apparel - $19.00
• Long Sleeve Printed Wrap Dress by Mix Apparel - $25.00

Owl Nice To See You

Owl Nice To See You

For some reason owls are everywhere at the moment.  I certainly do not dislike this.  Owls are very smart after all.  I've added the ASOS shoes as a) they are adorable and b) Owls eat mice, and for some reason it appealed to me to have the two in the same outfit.

Featuring (price low to high):

• Geisha Tassel Stretch Set by Accessorize - $12.25 (approx.)
• Bird On A Branch Oriental Silk Scarf by Accessorize - $18.50 (approx.)
• Mika Printed Top by Jeans West - $29.99
• Little Miss Ballet Flats by ASOS - $41.61
• Stud Tote by Colette - $54.95
• Metallic Bomber Jacket by Witchery - $129.95
• 'Darling' Jeans by RM Williams - $155.00

What I Own - the Little Miss Flats in black.  They are very cute, but do not pay full price for them - frankly they are only worth about $20.00.
