A lady-like dress begs to be paired with some men-looking accesories and that's exactly how I paid tribute to this $15 dress from Urban Outfitters. When it comes to bargains, I am not always the brightest crayon in the box. My dad actually suggested I should make this blog about affordable shopping for struggling fashionistas. Now, if you knew my dad, you would understand he is not one to dabble around this world. His mentality is very straight forward: one should own the necessary items to dress appropriately (one pair of black shoes, one pair of brown shoes, a couple of pants, a good pair of jeans and some running shoes). Thankfully this person here, and my mom, invade his closet every once in a while, or take advantage during important celebrations to increase his wardrobe. Ask him something about computers, and that is a whole different story. But anyway, considering who my dad is, his advice was pretty touching which made it even more harder to express to him how his daughter was not in the "smart shopper" category... I am one of those that buys an item at full price the day before it goes to half-off. So, when I walk into Urban Outfitters to return and item and see an "additional 50% off on all sale items sign at the door," I decided it was time I tested the waters. And this dress, this beautiful, floral print dress, was one of the results and let me tell you... one my proudest moments (or at least one of my top 10).
PS- I am willing to continue doing this so if you are a smart buyer, keep me posted. I'd be happy to plan a shopping date with you!
