Outfit For Less

Here is an outfit that I love. It's built on a basic t-shirt and a nice pair of straight-legged jeans. The best thing about this outfit is that each piece is versatile enough to be reused in other outfits.






















Banana Republic t-shirt = $20.00
BR jeans = $128.00
BR wristlet = $78.00
BR braided round-toe pump = $128.00
BR ribbon-wrapped bead necklace = $38.00

Total = $392.00

My less expensive version in black:






















T-shirt = already owned
American Eagle stretch bootcut jeans = $30.00
Target purse = $12.99
Payless pumps = $17.99 (I didn't realize the BR heels were round-toed until now so I may exchange these pointy pumps for round-toed ones.)
Target silver circle necklace = $11.99

Total = $72.97

Savings = $319.03 (81%)


Wear ballet flats for a more casual look:
























Add a pinstripe blazer on cool days:

























edit 8/21: Here is another necklace that would work well with this outfit: Beads and Stripes Necklace from forever 21 for $5.80.
