Thrifty Thursday

I’ll be the first to admit that I love and desire designer clothes (Tibi, Milly and Tory Burch being three particular favorites). However, I do not love the price tags associated with these designer duds. In honor of my need for frugality but my desire for style, every Thursday I will be spotlighting my favorite finds under $50.

The first is brought to you by J Crew. While this retailer is normally associated with expense and luxury, this slouchy cardigan is only $45 (on sale now for a mere $36).


This next find is a spring must for any wardrobe. I purchased this Rachel Pally inspired dress in black from Target a few months back and fell in love with it immediately (this adorable heather gray will be my next purchase). It's comfortable, versatile, and exudes casual style. Bonus: It's only $24.99!


You may remember that in my first post I mentioned my love for rompers. The problem with rompers, however, is that because they're so trendy and "of the moment," dropping wads of cash on them seems a little wasteful. Why should I pay almost $300 for something I know I'll only be able to wear one season, right? Enter Forever 21, the ultimate low-price, trend carrying retailer. At $29.80, you'll feel no guilt if you only get a few wears out of this little number.

  1. I'm loving rompers right now too, but I'm so scared to embrace the trend! I've found several that I love, but many times they are too short for me or are not the right print. I'm anxious to find one I really like - but it also has to be at the right price. Like you mentioned, this is a trend, so I don't want to shell out a lot of money on a garment that might not be around next season!
