Cold Weather Confection

I've been a bad blogger lately :( so today I want to make it up to you.  Double Blog Day woooohooo!! So earlier this morning , or afternoon, I posted a blog on working with what you already have in your closet, especially those summer faves.  But now almost like a supplement I wanted to give you a look worth buying! With that teeny tiny budget of yours.

First this is basically my Fall-spiration, or maybe winter, seasons are seasons so who cares? 
 
this is probably the cutest outfit ever, and if you don't want to wear this to a party with yo peeps then we cannot be friends and you should just leave.  Now that that's settled, who can put a price on such effortless beauty? Me thats who and I average this look at about $40 from H&M, if fact with the dressing room feature on their site I put together this lovely little confection:
Ok, so its not exactly the same, but like I said I'm stretch for cash and this is still pretty cute.  Now the bandage skirt was $5.95, the tights were $4.95, the sweater is a steal at $14.95 and the tube scarf is also $14.95! And I added a pair of burgundy heels for $49.95 but that's more than the whole rest of the outfit combined so if you don't want to splurge on heels your favorite pumps or booties will do. 
So in the words of Sadie Saxton:

   Regan, You're Welcome:)

Work With What You've Got!

Everyone, I would like to inform you of the sad truth.  As a side effect of being a 15 year old girl, I am basically always broke.  So while I would like to live in Free People, True Religion and 7 For All Man Kind I am confined to wearing Forever 21 and Abercrombie (kids because its cheaper shhh.) I'm assuming my readers (that is if I have any... my pageviews don't lie so I'm looking at about 1 reader) are in the same boat so have no fear you can still dress cute this fall on your microscopic "babysitters" budget.

First off, this post is dedicated to working with what you already own before you go out and buy something new.  Summer came and went and now all you have left to remember it are your cute colored shorts, tank tops and flowy shirts, and flip flops. But who said you need to retire your summer attire just yet? Why can't you wear your summer staples in the fall?  Here's how its done:

     1. Short Skirt/Long Jacket: Yes inspired by the song by Cake I am an avid follower of this look.  For fall and a more wearable look try short shorts and a long sweater.  Its trendy yet you can do it with practically anything in your closet all you need is your favorite jean booty shorts and your best fall button down cardi.
 
     2. Layer your Sundress:  Sundresses are a must in summer but who says you can't still rock your favorite ones in the fall.  A basic dress can be given a more casual fall/ school look with the addition of a belted cardi, your favorite scarf,  boots and fun tights.  A plus is this outfit is super cute and ultra cosy!
      3. Scarves in every color: Fall is known for more neutral and muted  colors but this should be all the more reason to spice it up with some of your summer faves.  If your like me, this summer you rocked some fun and colorful patterned scarves, super light material for summer but super comfy in the fall.  Add a scarf to just about any look (these from american eagle are my favorite.)
      5.  Wear your summer tops and tanks with jeans and sweaters: this is pretty obvious and self explanatory but just because its a summery shirt doesn't mean it can't work in the fall.  Bright hues and daring patterns can add a lot of finesse to your fall wardrobe.   (and by self explanatory I mean I'm too lazy to get you a picture so you guys can figure that one out, and if you cant... well then there is no helping you.)
    6. Final and most important: HAVE FUN.  Mix and Match, try new things and be adventurous with your clothes.  As long as you look confident and happy in what your wearing, the outfit will always be a hit!

       P.S. Sorry this was sooo late.  Technical difficulties,  and by this I mean I ran out of inspiration, gave up for about a day and then didnt come back to it until like... now (but shhhh if I blame it on the computer no one will ever know!) Oh and then i forgot my password.... again.  So I'm trying to be better, just bear with me. Oh and guys use the comment box pretty please, give me a little motivation! I mean is anyone even reading this??
