Back To School Shopping On A Budget: Day 4 #sponsored @thredup

July 26, 2013 by Amber {contributor}

Vera Wang and Twenty One On a Budget ~

Back to school shopping for Vera Wang and Twenty One clothes on a budget with thrifting from ThredUp

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 another featuring Banana Republic and Express and Day 3 featured Levi Strauss and New York and Company. 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.

Vera Wang and Twenty One On a Budget

For today, I decided to wear an edgy/rock-ish outfit! For this outfit, I chose a Simply Vera Vera Wang shirt (although it is quite long so you could possibly wear it for a dress if you like) and a pair of Twenty One leather pants.

So what did I pay for today’s outfit?

 

For today, I chose a Vera Wang black sequined shirt for $9.99 and a pair of Twenty One leather pants for $8.99.

Today’s outfit was less than $19!

 

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

    Very trendy. A great going out outfit. She looks very grown up with her hair up, and she is rocking the outfit.

    I really like the entire outfit and since you have two pieces you can make different combos too.

    What a deal- you would never know they are not brand new! So nice! I caused quite a stir in church last week with my “new” dress for Thred up I think they thought I had a lot more money than I was letting on.

    I can’t believe that you got a Vera Wang shirt for under ten dollars! It’s adorable. That would look good with dress slacks or jeans. You have good taste.

    Edgy, stylish, and ready for to hit the town or club. Since you spent less than $20, you have money to hit the town with. 🙂 Good picks. Hope you feel playful and fun when you wear it.

    It’s hard to believe nice leather pants under $10. That and the bright eye make-up really add to the pop of the outfit. Hope you had fun in this.

    The sequin top is pretty cute! It’d be great for a party!

    This isn’t really my style, but it’s good that you got a good deal on it!
