You don't have to break the bank to look stylish.

________

If you had've told me that I could create a super stylin' outfit for less than $200, I would have responded with a sarcastic  "YEAH RIGHT" and proceeded to walk away quickly. Surely only a crazy person would say such a thing, right? Well, as it turns out, I would have been wrong to laugh and/or think that this was an insane statement because, well, this outfit costs exactly $179.97 (see the breakdown below). Not bad. So, while it's a treat to splurge on designer and high street pieces, at the end of the day, you really don't need to break the bank to look stylish.

The best thing is that they're all basics that I'll wear time and time again. Now that is cost per wear, especially that comfy high-low hem shirt that I simply cannot get enough of (and have already washed and worn several times, despite only having it since last week). Truth be told, I think I'll be lucky to have it any longer than I already have since my very own mother has been eyeing it off. I wouldn't be surprised if it 'miraculously disappeared' after our next catch-up. Ha!

Oh, and so you know, I've put together a list of my favourite stylish budget-friendly finds below.
