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!

Hello again, fashionable friends!
I’m sure most of you have caught on to the “classy casual” trend that seems to have swept through popular blog posts around the world. SincerelyJules and Kature have even been known to even strut down a red carpet wearing a Chanel jacket and Jimmy Choo pumps styled with unexpected deconstructed denim trousers, minimal makeup, and beachy waves. We all love it, right? The juxtaposition of the classic with the edgy is exciting; however, the cruel irony of the seemingly downplayed, popular look is that it is pretty damn difficult to pull off.
So, where do we start? How do we mimic those fashion icons without looking like Modonna and Jackie Kennedy’s wardrobes had a dysfunctional lovechild? Even more, how do we do it without breaking the bank on some of the items that seem almost essential to the look (i.e. Valentino studded heels)?
Let’s take a little inspiration from our friends over at SincerelyJules and Kayture (both fabulous – check them out)…

Now…to mimic the looks without gawking at the price tags.
Firstly, both classy casual looks have one thing in common – those incredible Rockstud heels from Valentino ($995). I don’t know about you, but my “mom status” puts me more in the Nordstrom Rack roaming section rather than the Saks “hand over your kid’s college tuition” section. One of the best look-alikes I found is by Loslandifen and is a mere $39!
Secondly, we need a structured jacket. Fortunately, the classic fashionista usually has one or two of those somewhere in her closet. In case you are looking for something new, I am loving the Mural Slouchy Blazer. I own it in almost every color and I adore all of them.
Thirdly, minimalist accessories like the Long Necklace Gold Bar from Layered and Long and a classic structured tote make this look understated yet fabulous.
Finally, pair an unstructured top like a the Zara loose t-shirt with a basic pair of bottoms. Based on the two inspiration pictures, I included a white denim option and a great black short option. Both are affordable and would look great with your blogger-inspired look!
Fasionably yours,

Splendid is hosting their Summer Clearance sale with some awesome deals on swimwear and shoes. Check it out, friends!
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
Wilfred Free VERONIKA Dress ($54)
Hello, fashionable friends!
We are always looking for that one magnificent deal. It’s like being a fashion pirate seeking out that treasure trove of fashionable excellence. Yar!
Although this might not be the “cheapest” pair of shoes you’ll see me post, I just have to share them with you because I really believe them to be part of this summer’s trove of fashionable finds.
They are such a fantastic look for summer, are comfortable, and mimic other popular styles costing in the $400 – $500 range despite only being $149.
Without further ado, I present to you Invanka Trump’s ‘Dapoli’ Pump:
Ivanke Trump ‘Dapoli’ Pump
If you’re wondering how to wear them, they would look great with ANY of the looks below. Comment with pictures of how YOU like to wear them and I might feature you on the page!
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!

I am in love with today’s deal. This dress has all the elements of a wardrobe staple but the added bonus of a unique pattern that won’t be going out of style anytime soon.
The red and cream color combo almost makes this dress a neutral piece. Think about it – add a black leather mini, a camel trench, maybe a navy blazer – it all works. I love the bold print that creates interest without being too busy. The shape is fabulous and would work well on most figures. The simple neckline and modest, yet cheeky length of the hem make this dress great for the office or maybe attending some of those holiday get-togethers. Looking for something cute to “meet the parents”? Look no further.

Check out these 5 fun pink accessories that are easy on the budget and fun for fall wardrobes. Everything on this list cost less than $30 and is…pink. I don’t usually go for a pink theme, but the uber girly followers are demanding it. These pieces I love because, although they are as pink as pink gets, they could easily be paired with some fun, more edgy pieces.

Leather leggings are going to make a leggy return this fall. They were a trendy favorite for popular celebrity, Eva Langoria, last fall and have been long time favorites of Kim Kardashian, Elle Macpherson, and Hillary Duff as well.
Here’s a look inspired by Eva Langoria that starts with the basic leather legging for a FABULOUS deal. The great thing about this investment item – it can be casual or really dressy. Style leather with a casual top to make them an edgy accessory or amp up your look with a white blazer and some crimson lipstick. Either way, have fun with them!
Since I’ve posted four or five black blazers that I highly recommend, we’re going to keep this celebrity inspiration simple and stick to the leather and the heels. Last week’s Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day: Jewelry would look great with this outfit too!
Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

So…here goes another fun outfit for less than $100. It’s not quite winter but certainly no longer summer which means that we have some transitioning wardrobes to maintain. I love this look because it is a transitional look made up of very seasonal pieces.
The tea length midi skirt is a huge trend right now and will keep those stems slightly warmer in the upcoming winter months. The top would be adorable tucked into the skirt and under a leather cropped jacket or tailored blazer. It is also warm weather appropriate on its own.
Add some edgy heels or sandals to give this look a bit of a punk vibe or keep it really feminine with some ballet flats or strappy heels.
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.
Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

Looking for some seasonless styles that can transition your summer wardrobe to fall? Well, today’s two AWESOME deals will not only have you ready for the changing seasons, but have you channeling Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly any day of the year!
This post is meant for all of you savvy Pinterest addicts out there. I, like you, love to browse Pinterest, it’s many inspirational trends and fun finds. So…in addition to my celebrity trend look alikes, I will occasionally pull a trending ensemble from Pinterest and put together a look alike for a fraction of the cost of the original. This whole outfit was originally thousands of dollars, but you can get the entire outfit PLUS all of the accessories for less than $200.
Keep in mind that the minimalism of this outfit with an added punch of blue is what keeps this classic style flowing and brilliant. Style hair casually to play down the structured jacket and add a smoky eye for a touchy of mystery.
Enjoy, fashionable friends!
Today’s Pin-spiration:
Look Alikes:
Aryn K. Zip Pocket Blazer ($49.97)
ASOS Metal Keeper Super Skinny Waist Belt ($10.13)
New Look Madrid Metal Plate Croc Bag ($26.98)
New Look EC Ankle Strap Court Shoe ($33.74)
Nordstrom Classic ‘Seasonless’ Slouchy Knit Cap ($35.00)
Because I’ve been MIA for so long, I’ve decided to post TWO Fab & Frugal Deals. This second deal is an entire outfit and, as always, totals less than $100.
Although we’re all looking forward to fall, we still have a full 5 days until Labor Day which means that we should wear the heck out of our white summer clothes until then. Am I right?
Well, many of these items can be transitioned into fall which is why they’re part of today’s deal. Pair the tops with some shorts to keep it on trend for the end of summer or throw on some fantastic black pants and a cardi for a fall tone down. I went with something super feminine to wrap up the holiday weekend just because most of the fall styles are really edgy and dramatic. Enjoy!

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!
Happy shopping, fashionable friends!
