Recession Fashion-Looking Fab for Less!

Today on one of my very favorite blogs, Kellys Korner she was doing a post about recession fashion and looking fabulous for less! I thought I would join in on the fun! I am usually a Forever21 girl because you usually cannot beat the prices BUT my sister, who is a Fashion Merchandising major has shown me that you can go into more expensive stores and still get some awesome deals!! So here is my advice on looking fabulous for less:



** Go into a store and try the items that you like on to check for sizes and then go on the Internet and wait until that item goes on sale! As soon as you see it on sale go ahead and grab it since you already know how its going to fit! You can also go to http://www.retailmenot.com/ and usually find coupon codes for money off as well as free shipping!



** http://www.shopittome.com/ you can go here and register for alerts to be sent to your email when your favorite stores are having sales! That way you know when to go shop!! I also always register my email with my favorite stores and they will send you coupons through your email and snail mail! Example DSW sends me a $10 dollar off coupon every month or so! I Love love love coupons. Why pay retail right?!

Here are a few items that I really like and that are pretty cheap:

This shirt is from the gap. I have it and I love it! I love the girlie ruffles on the neck and sleeves. The color is great for spring and it is on sale right now for $21.99

Here is another also from the gap that is adorable and only $14.99:

Here is a dress VERY similar to one I bought last Friday (I could not find the actual picture) from Banana Republic for $29.99 Seriously People!!!I think it was originally $80.00 It is so cute on I love it!! (I am not sure how much the one in the picture is, but the one I bought is not quite as dressy so you can wear it with sandals or heels!! I think the material on my dress is a heavy cotton)



This is item is from a store called Francesca's(They have great prices) http://www.francescascollections.com/



This would look great with some black pumps for a night out or some cute flats for during the day!

Here is another:
This dress is only $34.98!
