Party Outfit Under $100

Today was my little sister's 16th birthday party. I think her birthdays make me feel older than my own do!! Though I love having an occasion to get dressed up for, and it's always wonderful to have a house full of family, friends, and delicious food, no matter how many years have gone by.

Camoflauge

I got the 'Leader of the Rack' dress from Avon a few months ago and this is my first time wearing it. I love the print, the pockets, and the length; though I'm not crazy about the poly-satin material.
I loved how the buckle on my cinch belt perfectly mimicked the pattern of the dress.
The birdcage pumps also made their debut - four inch heels are necessity when mingling with both my little sister and my sister-in-law to be, who tower over my 5' 2" frame.


Plus, I put together this outfit for under $100!


Leader of the Rack dress, Avon - $30
Demode Pump, Nine West - $50 (I got my Jessica Simpson Birdcage pumps from TJMaxx for $50, but since they are $80 on Amazon, I had to choose a similar pair for $50.)
Fringe Necklace, Forever 21 - $10.80 (Mine is from the Gap, and was only $10 at the time, but now it's only available in gold and is $25)
Sparkle Ring, Forever 21 - $6.80
Cinch Belt, Forever 21 - $5.80
Black Tights, Khol's - $5

Total = $98.40

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

  4. You look amazing! I love the pop of color in the shoes-- there, but not too much! && I agree, that Satin-y material isn't my favorite, either, but you sure look lovely in it!

  15. re: Crystal Renn - it is a bit disheartening that some Crystal's size is "plus-sized", but I suppose in comparison to the size zeros anyone could be plus-sized... :-/ but I guess we have to be glad for anything that encourages diversity, and a change from this vicious cycle that the industry is caught in...Fingers crossed it will get better from here! :)
