spendthrift...

...is not my middle name this past weekend. i am totally proud of myself on my super bargain shopping.

i've always been a bargain shopper, but with the great designer brands we all luv it's hard to stay so bargain'ista. i luv those labels just like madonna does; however, in an economy like this -- we have to be bargain'istas! haha had to get that economy line in there somewhere.

anywho, so yes! i did some great bargain shopping. i have a complete new outfit on today from head-to-toe that i only spent a total of $51. some may say $51 is a lot -- which it totally can be if you're buying just one item, but that is a total of three items to make a complete new outfit. including the following:
1. dress
2. tights
3. shoes

on a side note, i soooo need to revamp my work wardrobe. my stuff is so last year (actually two years ago when i used to work. then taking a year off, i totally didn't buy anything work related) so it's so outdated and blah and boring. i need(ed) new material...

now, back on subject -- shoes can let alone run you $51. a dress, most definitely can run you $51. tights on the other hand, if you find some for $51 just don't admit it!

so, you might ask where did i find such great items at via bargain-style? well, one of my fave stores that i have become to luv for trendy, fashion. i have a hard time spending a lot of money on trendy things that are going to go out of style in say...6-months. that store is good 'ole forever 21. tons of my gfriends have grown very fond of this trendy retailer as well. tons of peeps everywhere have, as i stood in line for 30 minutes to purchase my $22.50 dress. it was soooo worth it though. everyone is watching their nickles and dimes.

there you have it, trendy done cheap -- plus, i can wear this outfit for xmas mass. dual purpose makes it even more bargain'ista.

hopefully you'll be inspired to be creative with your wardrobe purchases as well,
