Fashion Boards on a Budget Series

I thought it would be a nice new fun series to try and create some thrifty outfit sets for you!!

Why am I starting a Fashion Boards on a Budget series?  Well,  I noticed on Pinterest that there are tons of cute outfits sets and I love them all so much for ideas! In fact I often use them to shop at thrift stores or less expensive stores to sort of “copy” them.  Every once in awhile though I would try to find the exact items in the sets online – but I would be shocked that  just one pair of shoes costs $90 or a shirt for $100. I love comfortable and cute fashion styles but I refuse to pay a ton of money on just one piece of an outfit. So I thought I would try and do some fashion boards on a budget.   (Now of course, you know I don’t personally have a lot of fashion skills, so I have asked for help from my lovely fashionista sister in-law Angela … and she agreed to make some fun outfit sets for you). Our main goal is to try and make outfits that you can buy a full ensemble or a shirt, bottoms, shoes + accessory for under $100 if you wanted too. The above outfit has a few different options you can choose from. You can use  jeans or capris with the shirt/sweater combo. You can choose which earrings you like more and just get one. It’s kind of  a really nice mix & match set.

So for this first Fashion Board almost all the items above are from Kohls.com! You can order online (I have some promo codes listed below for extra savings) or go into the store.
