Affordable Fall Boots

No Comments

Hey Guys! Last year I did an affordable boots post, and people really seemed to like it so I thought I’d get on things a bit earlier this year while there’s still time and stock! All of these options are linked, and are $150 or less. Now, I don’t know about you guys but I don’t have a load of money to spend on boots, but they just aren’t optional here. So, you won’t see any cutesy boots with open toes or laser cut details. Where I live, it’s actually cold and these types of boots need to carry me through the winter (I have some ultra cold weather boots, for when it’s -20 and below, but they’re not so cute). So, depending on what type of day it is, I’ll wear a different boot. I am lucky that I have a space at work just for me, so I…

Affordable Picks from the ShopBop Sale!

No Comments

Hey Guys! Since I’ve been trying to incorporate more affordable fashion into the blog, I’ve been watching for sales on online retailers of affordable clothes. Which, shopbop.com is an online retailer of all price ranges of fashion, but they are having a big sale that ends tomorrow (Friday, October 14th) at midnight (Pacific time). Your order will be 25% off which for us Canadian girls, means we are only paying ~10% currency markup rather than 1.34 Canadian dollars for every US Dollar we purchase in. Regardless of what currency you’re purchasing in, though, this is a great sale and an awesome opportunity to buy on-season items more affordably. I’ve included below some of my favorite picks under $150! All you need to do to take advantage of this sale is use the code MAINEVENT16 at checkout!

Fall Fashion Updates

No Comments

Hey! So I recently said in my post about my favorite fall nail colors that I have a super neutral, basic wardrobe because I can’t afford the cost of dressing super seasonally. I thought it would be worth writing a post about how I swap out certain things in my wardrobe and affordable suggestions should you wish to do the same! Everything is linked to the retailer (Boohoo, Dynamite, Joe Fresh, Old Navy) and under $100, I promise. All you have to do is click the picture and you’ll be taken to the retailer. All of these are mostly casual items as I know not everyone works in a formal environment, but I’ll be doing a similar post for work wear, don’t you worry my office girls! 1. Work your weights No, I’m not telling you to go to the gym, I’d never do that. I’m suggesting you switch up…

Favorite Fall Nail Colors

No Comments

Hello! Today I wanted to talk about how I update my manicure for fall. Generally, I just can’t do seasonal dressing because I find it incredibly expensive, so my clothes are just varying weights of the same things. I wear mostly neutrals, a ton of black and the occasional hit of blush pink (is this officially a neutral yet?). This helps me keep my wardrobe classic and easy to mix and match, which helps when you don’t have a ton of money to create specific “outfits” with individual pieces. Plus, I can basically get dressed in the dark, which for about 10 months of the year it is dark as dark can get outside when I’m getting ready for work. Because of this extremely neutral, somewhat basic (but in a good way!) wardrobe I have, I like to add seasonality with accessories, outerwear and my mani-pedi! I love dark, dark…
