Back To School Shopping On A Budget: Day 3 #sponsored @thredup

July 24, 2013 by Amber {contributor}

Levi Strauss and New York and Company School Shopping ~

School Shopping for Levi Strauss on a Budget from ThredUp - Cheap Is The New Classy

 

wording

If you have been following along with the Back To School Shopping On A Budget challenge, you have seen me purchase two nice outfits so far – one featuring Juicy Couture and Gap and the other featuring Banana Republic and Express. We are halfway through the challenge now, see what I spent on today’s outfit featuring Levi Strauss and New York and Company clothing and if I am still within my $150 limit.

School Shopping for Levi Strauss on a Budget from ThredUp - Cheap Is The New Classy

Today I chose a button up from New York and Company and a pair of white capris from Levi Strauss. The New York and Company shirt is very light weight so I will be able to wear it for most of the year. I also love the way the Levi Strauss capris fit me – they are very comfy.

 

So what did I pay for today’s outfit?

 

For today, I chose a New York and Company button up shirt for $9.49 and a pair of Levi Strauss Capris for $6.99.

Today’s outfit was less than $20!

 

Want to see if I can get 5 outfits for less than $150? Be sure to come back daily this week to see. 🙂

    One hundred and fifty doesn’t sound like much. You really are getting some cute outfits and staying within the budget.

    I really like this outfit. Casual but looks nice too. I like the layered shirt effect and the blue and white really go well for a crisp chic look.

    This is a great everyday outfit. The blue and white is very crisp and fresh looking. Even your jewelry and hair goes with it. You do a great job of pulling everything together!
