Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day – The Ex Boyfriend
Today’s awesome deal…more deconstructed denim!!!
I will shop until the ends of the earth to find the perfect pair of deconstructed jeans. The struggle is real when it comes to finding quality denim that fits in all the right places rather than channels the return of the “mom jean” complete with saggy bottom or creepy camel toe.
Enjoy today’s deal!
Fashionably yours,

Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day: Wilfred Free VERONIKA Dress
Greetings, fashionable friends!
If you have ever shopped at one of my favorite stores, Aritzia, you have seen the great stock of Wilfred items. Wilfred is an incredibly well-made somewhat high-end brand. When they put something on sale I pay attention.
Aritzia is running a fabulous sale right now with 30% – 70% sale styles. Fortunately for savvy shoppers, that means that great brands like Wilfred are more affordable and now is the time to indulge a bit.
This basic dress by Wilfred is flowy and fun. It can be easily dressed up or down simply by changing shoes. You may need a simple white slip to wear under it but that is something you should have in your fashion arsenal anyway.
Happy shopping!
Fashionably yours,
The Good Girl Who Went Broke

Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day: The Red Heel
Hello, fashionable friends!
Red is a confidence color. It makes a gal feel sexy and maybe just a little bit edgy. That’s what I love about today’s deal. It is completely affordable, stylish, trendy, and just a little bit scandalous.
If you’re not into the red, this shoe also comes in a classic black.
Scroll down a bit to see how other trendy ladies are wearing similar styles.

Fab and Frugal Deal of the Day: SALE ALERT!
Good morning, fashionable friends!
Here’s a little sale secret for you…you get 40% off all styles if you go to the LOFT website and enter code SHAREIT today.
Now I know what you’re thinking. Yes, Ann Taylor went through a weird little time that wasn’t really appropriate or fashionable; however, I believe that they have since redeemed themselves. In addition to offering frequent sales (i.e. up to 75% off full-price and sale items), they have reworked their garment structures and hired an entirely new design team. I also love that they offer regular, petite, and tall sizes for almost everything. When you’re short like me, a store offering petite sizing and regular clothes is a dream come true!
So, in honor of Ann Taylor’s new approach to style, here are a few of my favorite fashionable finds for the day:
Short Sleeve Lace Dress ($64.80)
Autumn Bloom Pencil Skirt ($42)
Zip Front Field Jacket ($64)

Wear White While You Can…
Vogue’s Best Dressed list was full of white ensembles this week. I love every one of them. White is so perfectly flattering on just about every skin tone and creates a sort of minimalist backdrop to show off those well-maintained locks.
To be honest, I don’t really believe in the old “no white after labor day” rule. I think that some of fall and winter’s best looks have been all white ensembles. However, to appease the crowd of traditionalists, here’s a great guide to wearing white before Labor Day arrives and before the color is no longer (traditionally) fashionably acceptable for fall.
For a little celebrity inspiration, visit this week’s Best Dressed list by Vogue.
For those fabulous ladies on a budget, here are some of the week’s best deals on one of my favorite wardrobe colors:
Quilted Rucksack ($69)
Maia Zipper Detail Stretch Pique Sheath Dress ($88)
Free People Star Slipdress ($98)
Halogen Linen Blend Jacket ($46)

The Transitional Wardrobe
Good morning, fashionable friends!
Summer is slowly coming to a close as we prepare for new school schedules and cooler temperatures. So, even if it isn’t time to put away those shorts and pull out the parkas, it is nearly time for the implementation of the transitional wardrobe.
Transitional wardrobes are a girl’s best friend. Transitional wardrobes are a blend of pieces from warmer weather clothing and cooler weather clothing. With layers, you can be prepared for the first bits of cooler weather while still maintaining an appropriate style for the hotter moments of the day that are yet to let our sweaty selves be.
Although everyone is familiar with layering, Miranda Kerr is the queen of modern transitional dress. She has mastered color pallets, fabrics, and flirty styles while managing to remain appropriate for any woman to imitate on a daily basis. Here are just a few of her transitional wardrobe styles
In any one of these photos, a layer or two could be removed to make the outfits more warm weather friendly. Also, the end of summer time also means a rush to wear all of those nautical inspired items that we bought for summer (i.e. blue and white striped sweater, etc.).
The other thing that makes Miranda Kerr’s wardrobe so functional is that her statement pieces (i.e. cropped leather jacket, utility jacket, booties, neutral totes, etc.) are timeless and appropriate for all seasons. Summer may not yet be over, but it’s time to start preparing for some stylish layers.

Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day: Teeny Weeny Polka Dot Bikini
I love J. Crew’s swimsuit collection – they always fit great and last forever. This particular set from J. Crew is on sale and totally worth the leftover Christmas money. I recommend sizing up a bit in the cup size if you can since those triangle bikinis can sometimes be the perfect recipe for “wardrobe malfunction” if they’re not properly fit.
Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

You’re always seeing celebs in great blazers that dress up or polish any look they choose to throw on. For example, add a little professional edge to a bohemian get up just like Jessica Alba always does. Or maybe dress up some deconstructed denim by adding the balancing structure of a blazer. Whatever your style is, there is a place for a great blazer.
Although blazer styles are as vast as the sea is wide, it’s a good idea to pick a few you like and mix it up a little now and then. This blazer is an amazing snag for just $53 on Asos. It doesn’t have wide lapels which means it’s easy to dress up OR down. The more open front will also leave long jewelry a bit of room to take the spotlight and it will also give a cute printed blouse a chance to shine a bit more than it would if there were a wider caller. The length is perfect and the sizing comes in both petite and regular. The linen blend will ensure that you don’t overheat when you’ve got on several layers and the neckline would be adorable with a colorful scarf. All in all, this one is a winner, folks.
Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

Today’s Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day is perfect for a day at the office and then a fun night out. Just switch up your accessories if you want to add a bit more pizzaz.
The Evangeline Peplum Top is perfectly flattering for the waistline and has a touch of whimsy that makes the structured pencil skirt appear slightly more feminine. I love the idea of adding some gold accessories to play up the girly factor, but consider adding a clutch with some metallic detail just to add a little bit of edgy interest. A pair of great black pumps could work with this along with any pair of flats or strappy sandals in black or gold. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you could even try a great pair of lavender heels to play off of the pattern on the top.
So…for $100, this Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day is an awesome addition to any wardrobe.

I love the elegance of simplicity. The art of coordinating a wardrobe at one with itself can sometimes be overwhelming, but choosing classic shapes and complementary color pallets can make it so much easier.
I love the shape of this lovely white top. The fabric is light and airy and it complements the female figure so nicely. It creates interest without exposing too much skin. The bottoms add an element of intrigue via their shimmery brocade print but keep a structured form that elongates the legs and continues the theme of simple elegance. Both of these pieces are extremely well made and fit true to size. I love them together and I think you will too.
So, without further ado, I present today’s Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day!

Celebrity Inspiration – Zooey Deschanel
Everyone loves the “girl next door look” that Zooey Deschanel has indeed perfected. Her ultrafeminine vintage hairstyles and chic pin up girl looks have got America screaming for styles that invoke innocence and flirtaciousness (yes, I know I made that word up).
I feel like Zooey Deschanel’s styles typically carry a few key elements. Firstly, she’s in love with a peterpan collar. Secondly, she almost always wears opaque tights under her shorts and skirts. Finally, she has a habit of sticking to a black, navy, red and ivory color pallet. Do I love all of these things? Absolutely!
Achieve Zooey’s look for much less than $100 and feel like a million bucks. I love the modesty of this look and how, despite it’s lack of cleavage or thigh, it is completely feminine and sexy.
