I went for a day out to the park. Im still getting comfortable with my curves. So i hope this outfit is perceived as casually cute.
The top is $1 from Goodwill
The shorts were $12 from walmart
The second outfit was for a casual lunch out.
The chambray blouse was $0.50 at Goodwill.
The pants were $8 at a closing sale at JC Penney
Ok, I'm a size 16 and all my plus sized ladies out there know how stressful shopping can be for us....especially when you're looking for a swimsuit that your grandma doesn't wear! I get all my swimsuits from sammydress.com
Now here's a hint to everyone wishing to purchase from this site: know your measurements!! All items are manufactured and shipped from China so here are a few things to remember:
1) They are sized smaller than the US. So, for example, if you typically wear an XL, you may need a 3X.
2) Like I said before, know your measurements! The site provides measurements for each size and each item. Follow their guidelines (and I suggest still sizing up one size from the chart too) and you'll be fine!
3) When buying anything with sleeves that fit to the body, please note that the sleeves are very tight so unless you have really thin arms, I would stick to loser fitting/sleeveless options.
4) Shipping could take weeks to even over a month so do NOT order anything you need within a deadline. There's a good chance, you'll miss it. The shipping time may only take 5-25 days but it may take them 2 weeks to process it before actually shipping. And orders with multiple items: they may all ship at different times
With all this being said, if you know what you're doing, you can get some amazing deals online!
This swimsuit I'm wearing was $13 (including shipping) from sammydress.com. I am a size 16 and bought a 3X. The top could be bigger but I'm not complaining!
The second swimsuit is a high waisted black bikini with a fringe top. I also ordered this one from sammydress.com and paid only $14, including shipping. It fits perfectly!
Some thrift stores purchase clearance pallets from stores like Target and Kohl's. This outift was one I picked up from my local Goodwill for a whopping total of $1! Both top and skirt were brand new!
I had to run out for a doctor appointment and didnt want to take forever getting dressed. So...i grabbed this high low hem blouse and ripped athleisure jeans.
My entire outfit cost $7. I got both item, brand new with tags attached, at a local Goodwill. The blouse was 50% off so it was $2.25. I paid "full price" for the jeans at $4.75.
I dont normally wear these 2 together, but i needed to do laundry lol so I threw it on and it worked out! Normally i would wear a basic tee with the jeans for a laid back, casual look; and the blouse with some high waist shorts for a more boho look.
The new source of this blog will be showing women how they can look trendy and fashionable on a low budget. We will be taking photos of our finds and uploading them, along with prices and where you can shop!
Im excited to start this new journey showing that we don't need a lot of money to look fab! Everyone, regardless of economic backgrounds have the right to look like a million bucks! Let us show you how!
