The Under $60 Work Outfit
Putting together a great work outfit is always a bit of a challenge, and doing it on a super-trim budget might seem almost impossible. Fortunately, sweater dresses are on trend at the moment, perfectly professional, and can be had for very little at stores like Target (the Merona dress featured here is one of a handful they’ve got in stock right now)—add some look-at-me shoes and cute easy bangles, and you’re good to go. See? Not impossible after all . . .
Merona Boat Neck Sweater Dress, $29.99, Target
Grosgrain Trimmed Pumps, $23.80, Forever21
Hammered Bangle Set, $4.80, Forever21
The Under $60 Weekend Outfit
What do we love even more than a great budget outfit? A great budget outfit we can pick up with virtually one-stop shopping. This casual weekend look, for example, is all Walmart (seriously!), save the clutch from Asos.com—but, thanks to the Norma Kamali line, doesn’t look like we bought it at Walmart.
Snakeskin Clutch, $24.00, Asos.com
Silver Lizard Print Flats, $7, Walmart
Norma Kamali Skinny Leg Jeans, $15, Walmart
The Under $75 Event Outfit
Most of us can get away with a pretty basic wardrobe most of the time (our red carpet event invitations keep getting lost in the mail, evidently). However, and especially this time of year, the occasional “occasion” presents itself, and we find ourselves scrambling to find something a little more special to slip into. With plenty of family, work, and community holiday events just around the corner—and a budget that’s slim, to say the least—we’ve pulled together this event look for under $75 (and the red satin dress alone looks like it’s worth more than that . . . )
Satin Dress, $39.99, Newport News
Pleated Satin Pump, $12.50, Forever21
Cocktail Ring, $14, Newport News
Botkier for Target wristlet, $4.99, Amazon.com
Total Cost (Before Tax): $71.48
The Under $60 Outfit
On the weekends, this time of year, we want to be warm, comfortable, and most of all, stylish, as we’re running errands and hanging out with friends. It’s a tall order, but you can do it for less, and here, we’ve pulled together an easy and totally versatile ensemble for less than $60—we could have done it for even less, but decent boots are rarely under $30, and we figure a great pair of black boots are something that you’ll wear again and again this winter (meaning their cost per wear will likely be minimal). It’s all about value, after all . . .
