Now THAT'S a bargain!!

I've never been the kind of girl to walk around in stiletto heels, and a face covered in MAC makeup. I tend to wear jeans and t-shirts, keeping it as simple as possible. Because I love comfortable clothes, I like to buy a lot of it especially if it's on SALE! I'm not one to pass up a great deal on clothes when I see it. I'd like to share some great deals with you.

The Fall season is among us and there are a ton of things we chicas can wear without breaking the bank. We can still look fashionable for those nights out with our girlfriends or those nights in just lounging around with our lovers ;).

My favorite store is Forever 21. A lot of people knock it because they assume the store has low quality clothing. BUT, "never judge a book by it's cover." If you take the time to look around, you'll find a lot of great quality things and not have to spend a whole lot. After all, we're trying to recover from a recession! Why wouldn't we want to save money?!

Below are a few items I came across at the fabulous Forever 21. Before each item, I've posted the link so you can purchase it or browse on Forever21.com if you'd like.

• Strapless Knit Zip Dress---> An AMAZING deal for just $19.80. You CAN'T go wrong! It's style that resembles Bebe. It's sexy and sleek!

I Absolutely love dresses. Especially inexpensive ones that look as if I spent a good amount on it. Dresses mean that I only have to slip on one item of clothing instead of spending and hour trying to figure out "which top goes with these jeans, and which pair of shoes go with this top" etc.. I wore the black dress below to my 23rd birthday party a few months ago. I spent $24.50. A good friend of mine thought I spent around $60.00. I accessorized it with a sterling silver necklace I got years ago, probably for less than $5. Ah I love bargains!

The #1 rule I have when it comes to shopping.....ALWAYS hit up the SALE section first. A lot of times you'll find great outfits for cheap. Of course, sizes will be limited but you may be lucky enough to find an item on sale in your size and pay about half the ticket price.

• One thing every wardrobe needs is a great pair of jeans. The stone-washed jeans pictured below are priced at $14.50. Pair them up with a white tee (as seen in the photo) and you've got a great laid-back look. It's my belief that skinny jeans may never go out of style. They're just too awesome!

• Continuing with the laid-back theme, this Panthers University Pullover sweater is priced at $19.90 and is so comfortable! A hoodie like this could cost you $29.50 at American Eagle Outfitters.

• This Krissie Satin top is listed at $19.80 and is perfect for a casual dinner with friends. You can wear them with jeans or dress them up with slacks. It's a sophisticated top that you can even wear to work with a blazer/dressy jacket. A top that is multipurpose is a must-have! Getting the most out of your wardrobe is key to saving money. There's no need to buy one top for every occasion; this one can be used for almost any event.

I hope this information was useful to all you bargain finding divas out there. I'll continue to post money-saving ideas in the near future. As you've probably noticed, all the items posted above (aside from my birthday dress) are UNDER $20.00. I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Later Lovelies!
