modern budget. two.

I headed back to Forever 21 for these two jean gems.  I mean, a girl can never have too many chambray shirts in her closet, right?  I have been wearing this one pretty much every day.  I've sported it as an actual shirt and also unbottoned over a dress.  Speaking of dresses, how adorable is this denim one?  Worn with my fave booties, it's the perfect transitional piece for Spring.  And the prices, well, they are pretty amazing: shirt ($29.80), dress ($29.80), booties ($29.99).

modern budget. one.

First off, I wanted to say a huge thanks for the comments, tweets, and emails regarding my Friday post.  It truly means so very much to me and G to have support from all of you!  Muah!  

And now, I wanted to share a new little series of posts that I will be introducing to the blog, modern budget.  All of my friends are pretty much in shock when I show up to a party and when asked what I'm wearing, a common answer is Forever 21 or H&M or a second hand store find.  I am a bargain shopper at heart.  I grew up thrift shopping with my mom and to this day, I always get a thrill when I find the perfect little dress or top buried amongst racks of clothing.  So, follow me as I head into the dressing room of some of my favorite budget friendly stores, to find outfits that I love and are easy on the wallet.  Here's my first post in this new series, at Forever 21.  It's been chilly here in the city (shhhh, don't tell anyone but I don't really mind the cold).  But for all of my friends who are looking forward to warmer days, I thought I'd try on a Spring look.  A fun skirt ($22.80), delicate top ($27.80), and my fave booties ($29.99).  Easy to throw on as you head out the door, and defintely won't break the bank.
