Fab & Frugal Deal of the Day: Wilfred Free VERONIKA Dress

July 16, 2015

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)

Celebrity Inspiration: Miranda Kerr

September 19, 2013

Miranda Kerr is well known for having impeccable taste in clothes. She’s always well dressed and her picks are flattering in nearly every instance. 

Today’s inspirational picture has been chosen in honor of fall and the cooler weather. The classic trench doubled with some easy to wear, casual pieces makes for a great on-the-go look. Keep makeup simple and hair understated with this look – even a cute topknot would do nicely.

Happy shopping, fashionable friends!

Celebrity Inspiration: Eva Langoria

September 18, 2013

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!

Looking for that perfectly neutral dress that goes with everything and transitions across all four seasons? I have found it!

Just in case you needed some inspiration, I threw in some pieces that would look FABULOUS with this dress. Feel free to add some extra color, play with some textures and really make this piece shine.

Pinspiration: Color

September 4, 2013

This last weekend, my boyfriend and I visited his hometown in California. One night for dinner, his mom wore this adorable dress full of exciting color. I loved it! I also realized that my wardrobe was surprisingly monotone with all of the black, red, white and camel colors that I like to use for basics. So…with many thanks to Walker’s mom…this week’s Pinspiration is COLOR!

A word of caution to those colorful fashionistas out there…don’t go too far past your comfort zone. Mixing too many trends or splashing together too many color schemes can come out more like Mimi from the Drew Carrey show than stylish ensemble. Pick a scheme and go with it. Add some extra interest by mixing textures like the outfit below. Also, if you’re going for a daringly colorful look, think about keeping your hair, makeup and accessories pretty minimalist.

Happy shopping, fashionable friends!
