Women spend thousands on beauty maintenance and clothing every year and I’m no exception.  When shopping for these items I always look for deals.  There’s nothing that excite me more than locating an entire outfit that looks expensive but costs a lot less.  This look, which costs less than $100 excluding the handbag, is a good example of that.  So where did I get this outfit? I found this  striped sweater by ELLE at Kohl’s when I went in for this collaboration.  The price of $24.99 along with a 30% discount made it very easy to take that home with me.  After purchasing this sweater and this skirt I received a $10 cash credit that I was able to apply to these studded heels online priced at $27.97.  As for these Zara satin pants (with tags attached) I got them for free from my mother-in-law.  She works for a vintage clothing & funiture store where they constantly receive donations from patrons and stores like Zara.

I added the blazer from ASOS ($38 on sale a couple years ago) to update the sweater and satin pants combo and finished the look with a small structured bag that’s boxy yet ladylike.  Even thought it costs more to be a woman you don’t have to spend a fortune to look fabulous.
