Todays Affordable Fashion Finds

Today I was standing in front of my closet, deciding that I have NOTHING to wear.. which I do regularly. So I wandered over to my computer to browse the Internet for a new outfit in hopes that it would cheer me up a bit- until I remembered that rent is due in three days. Damn. Kinda puts a damper on my spontaneous shopping spree. A damper, mind you- it wouldn't actually stop me :)

Since my landlord is probably not going to accept a cute outfit as payment- I guessed I should probably keep the spending under control. Luckily for me, Lulus is having a sale, so this is actually easy.

Lulus.com is a really cute website that is usually pretty affordable and has really unique and trendy merchandise. Sometimes their shoes can be a bit pricey- but they usually always have a sale going on so you can balance the expensive items with some really great finds. And make sure you check out their jewelry and handbags too- super cute!

Anyways, I'm just really sick of all of my 'going out' clothes. I feel like I've worn all of my dresses one time too many, and I really need a cute pair of pants that will carry an outfit on their own. So that is what I was looking for today... here's what I came up with:

I really love the zipper detailing of both of these dresses- very trendy, but also something that you will be able to wear even after the 'trend' is over, just because of the uniqueness factor. Though, what really draws me to both of these dresses in their shape. They are both very artfully constructed, which makes them look a lot more expensive then they are. And they are not expensive- The purple dress is on sale for $47.50 and the black dress is on sale for $51.50, which may be a tad bit pricey... but I really love these dresses. They are really freaking cute- so cute that I will probably need new shoes to wear them with.

I was thinking a black heel for the purple dress, like this one from lulus for $19.50 (awesome, right?)

And for the black dress, a flat would go with the more casual feel of the dress. This purple flat would give it some color, yet still look sophisticated.. and for only $19.50.

And going with the rocker vibe, I found these pants...

...on sale for $53.50- they were $84.00. They would also go with either shoe, and they are dressy enough to wear a subdued top and a cool necklace and you're set. I really like the design on top of the jean- actually I'm all for wearing eye-catching pants. I mean, I like a cute top as much as the next girl; but jeans like this just radiate confidence. And nothing is sexier than that, am I right?

Of course I am :)

Hope you liked my fashion finds for the day, thanks for reading!
