One of my favorite places to find inexpensive trendy items is Forever 21's online site. And "trendy" is the key. I'll spend a lot of money on something that will stand the test of time, like a handbag, but if it's something I may only wear a couple times... then I may just go the inexpensive route. And yes, I realize I'm far, far away from being 21 years old (ummm you can just double that number) but some of their things can work for someone, shall we say a bit older. It just takes awhile to weed through it all. Their website is constantly updated with new items and they have pages & pages of clothing and accessories. I also pay attention to the fabric content, as noted on the website for each item I'm considering. Some fabrics look cheaper than others, so I'll just pass on those.
I recently purchased 3 new maxi dresses for summer from them. They are easy to throw on with sandals or flip flops, but can be just as easily dressed up for evenings. All 3 dresses were less than $28...
I liked the last one so much, I bought one for my sister, too. She will, however, have to let me know if she plans to wear it around me. I refuse to be wearing the same dress at the same time. We dress alike enough as it is!
And Bob just ordered these snakeskin platforms for my upcoming birthday (per my request) from Victoria's Secret...
Come to mama! ;-)
Yummie dresses and painfully pretty shoes :-) I bought a maxi dress a while ago and was very disapointed as the material was rubbish so ive never had it on.

I can totally see you in these dresses! you will rock them--and the heels.
Funny story--DH and I were shopping at Nordstrom a couple of weeks ago because I needed some new "everyday" shoes. He held up a pair of heels that were totally your style and said, "hey, these look like something that girl on your DT would wear". I about peed my pants laughing because I think ONE time I showed him a pair of shoes on your blog and said I wish I had the guts to wear them. You got style, GIRL!
