  • Professional Look

    I think that dressing for the office can be very fun, but you have to have the right clothes.  Here's an outfit that is appropriate for the office, but also fun!

    Total Cost: $54.27

    $10.49

    Brown wide leg pants available for purchase at Kmart.com search, "stooshy safari".


    $6.98

    White T-shirt available for purchase at Target.com search, "mossimo long tee".


    $15.00

    Available for purchase here at 15dollarstore.com.


    $6.80

    Knotted chain necklace available for purchase at Forever21.com search, "knotted chain necklace".


    $15.00

    Platform pumps available for purchase here at Mydivacloset.com.

    Tips: Tuck the T-shirt into the pants for a professional look that will also elongate your legs.  Don't let the hems of the pants drag on the ground, but get them pretty close.  Leave the cardigan unbuttoned.

  • Big Name Little Tag

    Since I try to make my posts as affordable as possible, it's infrequent - if ever - that I get a big name brand item on here.  So for this post I'm going to be showing some big name items with little price tags.  Keep in mind that these aren't going to be quite as cheap as clothes in other posts because of the name brand aspect.

    Alexander McQueen for PUMA:

    Alexander McQueen Tank Top
    $50.00

    Available for purchase here at Shop.puma.com.


    Jimmy Choo for H&M:

    Tips: Leave the blazer unbuttoned to show off the shirt and your casual side.  Roll up the pants a couple times so they're about half way up your calf.  Also roll up the sleeves of the blazer a couple times even up to show a bit of the shirt sleeves if you want.

    Tips: Wear the skirt a little bit higher and tuck the button up into it to show off the belt and give it a bit more of a professional look.  Remember you may be able to create this look without buying all new pieces as you may already have some or all of the items shown here or something similar.

About Me

  • I read Instyle Magazine and enjoy the fashion but find most of it out of my price range. I'm going to try to find similar looks to what they have in the magazine, but with a smaller price tag. Then I will share my findings on here!
