Frugal Fashionista

Ask me anything   I love style and I love to shop but I'm a twenty-something living on a tight budget. I'm always on the hunt for great pieces at great prices.

Shoes and scarf from H&M and coat from Old Navy. Finally warm enough to give the big brown puffer coat a break!

Tibi dress was $980 and I got it for $299 this weekend. I&#8217;ve wanted a dress like this for a while but wasn&#8217;t going to spend a fortune on it. $300 is still a lot but it&#8217;s not a trendy piece that will go out of style and I can get a lot of wear out of it with all of the weddings/showers/parties in the summers to come. Definitely needs to be hemmed first.

Kind of obsessed with the jacket I got at Zara this weekend. $100&#8230; More than I&#8217;d normally spend on a piece but it will be worn all fall with so many different pieces!

Fall is slowly moving in. Boo. I just picked up this blazer at H&amp;M last weekend - $24! Top from Zara and jeans are my go-to Jbrands.

Started my new job last Tuesday and so far I really like it! I&#8217;m trying to put more thought into my outfits because I&#8217;m in a more stylish office now&#8230; So you&#8217;ll notice more accessories and cute heels instead of same &#8216;ol sandals. I like the lace and pattern combination here. I also like wearing something other than you&#8217;re go-to fitted tucked in top with this pencil skirt. Crop tops are everywhere and they really look great with a high waisted bottom like this work appropriate combination. The skirt is JCrew factory and the top is Lauren Conrad for Kohl&#8217;s ($28)!

My last day of work was on Tuesday and now I have two weeks off between jobs! I bought this skirt at Loehmann’s last night for $15! The tank is Citizens for Humanity from Bloomingdale’s during one of their big sales.  Pretty sure I scooped it up for under $20!
