The Style Board HUNT!

So you remember the DIY Style Boards I posted a few days ago?  Well my mom and I decided to spend the day hunting down an outfit or 'look' with a $20 budget!  How did we do this? By making a style board of course!  We used this as a reminder of the look/colors I was going for and wouldn't settle for anything less!  It was so much fun and I'm happy to say I have have a whole new look to add to my wardrobe!

Here it is!


We stopped at about every goodwill in the area shopping those racks like it was nobody's business.  One thing I found out fast is that skirts are hard to shop for!  They are either mean business women or missionary like!  It was pretty rough.  We made a stop at Plato's Closet and things got a little bit better.  Still wasn't what we we're looking for, though.


Also found 2 cute skirts at the goodwill, but one was far too big and the other was far too small.  I was starting to feel like goldy-locks!


Nevertheless, I must say that the hunt is what made it fun!  "You can't hide your big feet, not even in those shoes!!"


We made a spur of the moment stop at Rue 21 and boy was it a life saver! SO cheap too!!

What I ended up with:
Blouse - Rue 21- $8.50
Maxi Skirt - Rue 21 - $3 (!!)
Necklace - Goodwill - $2
Clutch - Goodwill - $2
Shorter skirt - Rue 21 - $3
Cardigan - Rue 21 - $6
(other items I already own)
Comes to a Grand total of:  $24.50 -for TWO outfits!

Making it a bit more cas with a belt and shirt untucked.


After a full day of shopping and a bunch of clothes piled on my bed I can say I am one tired but happy chika.
So what do you think - mission accomplished?


With Love,

    Haha, I'm so glad I wasn't around for that shoe comment! That's some crazy camo...
    A couple times I've seen short skirts at Rue 21 & Wet Seal (like the one you got) and I've thought of you.

    Oh, I love these outfits! Especially the lacey pink look!

    I feel your pain shopping thrift stores! It's so hard to find something worthwhile!
    Consignment stores are fab for having good clothes at a decent price!

      Thanks! Yeah, it's rough, right? Yeah the consignment shops tend to have a newer look which is great!
