Be A Budget Shopper!


Hello loves!

Obviously if you read the title of this handy dandy blog post you'll know I'm going to be talking about budget shopping!

Now budget shopping can be finding great deals, shopping sales racks, going thrifting, or even plundering yard sales.

Budget shopping is VERY important to me since I am a starving college student with a limited income (I have a part time job AND go to school). I've learned from a very young age never to pay full price for an item.

I was recently browsing on Pinterest and came across these adorable jeans from Anthropologie and was all set on buying them until I found out they were $178.00 USD.


WHAT?! Um...no. Simply stated I did not order them. I knew I could find them somewhere else.

So. The other day I was at target picking up some new liquid foundation and I always make time to meander through the clothing section.

I love shopping at Target because you can find every day essentials (i.e. sweaters, plain shirts, layering tanks, t-shirts) and they're all pretty affordable.

Anyways. I was just strolling and I found a pretty much identical pair of polka dot jeans for $23.00 USD. Needless to say, I got them.


Anthropologie Jeans $178 USD
Target Jeans $23 USD

The only real difference between the jeans is that the jeans from Target have white dots on a grey background and the Anthropologie jeans have the dots on a navy/blue background.

I don't really care what background the dots are on. I knew that I HAD to get them so I did.

The luckiest finds are the ones you happen upon so check budget stores often. 

What are your favorite budget stores to shop in?  Leave a reply and have a fabulous day!

Coral & Leopard = LOVE

Hello lovelies!
I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, butttt, I have exciting blog posts coming up in the future!

I cleaned out my closet and spent TWO hours at Forever 21 which consistently fuels my addiction to fashion.

Back to the news, I got these new coral high waisted shorts which I ABSOLUTELY adore.




I paired these shorts with a black and grey leopard top, which I also got from Forever 21. 

Now some of you in the United States are probably asking why I bought these at the beginning of winter. In Florida it never really gets THAT cold and I think the shorts will look adorable with black tights or leggings underneath and black wedges...it'll be cute. I know.

I also got this necklace which is adorable. I never really wear silver but the only other one they had was black so I picked up this one. I still think it's a cute statement necklace which will match a lot of my outfits. 


Do you have anything you're definitely transferring from summer over to fall? Leave a response! 

Have a fabulous day!
