Inexpensively Fashionable

photo

Claudz read my mind when she did a post HERE about her need for fashion help.

Just last week I sat chatting to Lizette about how we need to update our look without having to re-kit our entire wardrobe.

Clothes are simply becoming too expensive and we can't afford to buy a new outfit everytime the fashion changes.

With me trying to get out of my ever-increasing debt, I really can't afford to buy new clothes.

Here in South Africa we have a great chain of clothing store called Mr Price. They sell trendy clothes at really great prices. The quality is average, but beggars are definitely not choosers!

As I told Claudz - I am with her on her new fashion adventure and I am attempting to be fashionable, inexpensively.

While I was packing my winter clothes away and unpacking my summer clothes I realised that with all the weight I have picked up I dont have many clothes that fit me anymore.

I have bought 2 new tops - total cost: R160
1 x pink spaghetti type top with silver sparkly buttons.
1 x white and beige striped tank top with gold butterfly picture.

Lets see how far I can make these go with my existing clothes.

Today is Casual Day in SA - the theme was Fun/crazy.
Our whole admin office dressed up and it was alot of fun mixed with feather boas, crazy devil horns, green wigs and slippers.

My normal outfit:

Clothes: Long tiered chocolate brown skirt, white and beige tank top, dark brown pumps
Accessories: Long gold circle necklace, brown circle earrings, brown bead bracelet and skinny brown scarf.



Result - I am quite happy with it.
