In the Seventeen magazine version they simply showed what great outfits they got used from a thrift store, mixed with borrowed items and gifts they got from their grandmothers, etc. While that is cool to see how thrifty OTHER people can be, it's EASY to buy an awesome outfit at a thrift store with $17!!! That's alot of $$$ in a thrift store! What's NOT easy is putting together something nice from new (or used eBay) clothing you find online! The point with these Saturday blogs is to get you a $17 outfit that you can buy from the comfort of your own home since not everyone is in love with the musty smell of Goodwill and the type of fellow shoppers some thrift stores attract... you know the kind, the kind with the BO that seem to be following your every move, or the kind with the old dudes staring at you while you slide on the jeans under the skirt you wore there for this purpose since they usually don't have dressing rooms! Eeep!
So, in an effort to pass on some great outfit ideas, here are the findings I couldn't resist:
+HMUSA always a winner in my book, especially with their versatile wardrobe staples like this jersey dress ONLY $5 RIGHT NOW!!! You can either get it in gray or white with black design, but ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
MIX THEM UP WITH THESE VERY CUTE AND SUPER SIMPLE BLACK PUMPS FROM $10 MALL! $9.99 Dianna Chunky Pumps - Black
Now just throw on a blazer and jewelry and you are good to go for UNDER $15 (not inc. shipping)! It's even work-appropriate (depending on where you work I guess).

Now THIS cute little number I whipped up for all the holiday soirees you will find yourself at during the next month (especially for NYE work parties!) $9.99 Silver Metallic Holiday Dress
To jazz up this jazzy, swirly dress that much more, pair it with either these $7 SUEDE & SEQUIN HEEL PUMPS! $7 Sequin Heel/Black Suede Pumps
OR get a little crazy with these blinged out peep-toes!!! (Also $7 at the 10 Dollar Mall!)

I was only going to do one outfit each Saturday but, I just can't help myself! I did the hard part, now I'm leaving you to accessorize yourself! Share your pics with me once you get the goods and show me what you did to make your $17 outfit POP!
