Hey guys! I’m coming at you with another affordable outfit post! This is one of my favorite combos for a day at home- a cozy sweater that isn’t too thick, but still warm, and a loose pair of joggers. I like this for a cooking day, working on the computer or just watching some TV because it’s comfortable, inexpensive (I make messes cooking sometimes, the last thing I want to do is destroy a beautiful and expensive sweater) and cute! These pants were snagged on sale for under $10 at Walmart and I’ve linked a bunch of similar options below that are super affordable as well. This sweater is a thin knit that I picked up at Target a couple of years ago which is sadly not an option anymore in Canada, but don’t worry, I’ve linked other options for this as well. Absolutely everything is under $25, which I love. Also,…

What’s upcoming for The Broke Girl Blog and an easy but festive outfit!
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! Tops 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 Bottoms 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 Dresses 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 Shoes 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 Accessories 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 ps. Shopbop.com will recognize…
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…
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…
Hey Guys! I wanted to try something new and record a video for a post, and I thought a monthly favorites post would be great to test it out on. I tried to record this about a week ago and it was a miserable failure, so I recorded and uploaded to Youtube a second attempt which didn’t upload well (choppy), so here I am a bit (lot) late with a third attempt!
