FancyPants Favorites! Ballin’ On a Budget!

So, it’s been a while and there are 4 treasures of mine that I have been obsessing over for the past few weeks. The bonus of all of these picks is that I got them all for a bargain! Ballin’ on a budget booooyyyyyy!

Riverberry Women’s Vintage American Flag Scarf

I’ve actually had this scarf for a couple of months now but just decided to share it with everyone because I love it oh so much! This was a surprise gift from my ever so thoughtful boyfriend and it couldn’t be more perfect. It’s a rather large scarf but super thin and breezy so you can wear it all year long. What’s great is that it practically goes with everything, I mean c’mon now, it is the American flag! I love scarfs and this by far gets the most compliments. The best part about it, he found it on Groupon for half the price; I originally found it on Pinterest for $25- $30 and it was $10.99 on Groupon. Do the math and get one. ‘Merica!

Brina 01S T Strap Peeptoe Stack Heel Platform in Cognac

OBSESSED! These are the most comfortable heels I have found in the past few years. They are a classic platform that goes with a ton of outfits. I love that they look vintage yet beachy; if that even makes sense! These shoes are identical to the Steve Madden Dyvine – Cognac Lea for $109.99 and they are always sold out. On the bright side, the smart shopper that I am, I found these wonderful Heaven sent platforms at my local mall in a store called, A’Gaci for $27.50!!!!!! Yes, that’s right!

Ann Taylor Petite Notched Tweed Jacket and Fringed Tweed Pencil Skirt in Yellow Dobby

Once in a blue moon, I find a suit that magically fits my body and just 2 weeks ago, it happened! I’m in the process of seeking a new career, in normal terms, I’m job hunting, and I figured a new career, a new wardrobe. I usually go for the standard black or charcoal grey dress pants, button up blouses, and printed cardigans. So, a tweed suit is completely out of my comfort zone. It fit like a glove which is rare because I’m only 5’2 but have a huge bust with skinny legs and a narrow body from the waist down. It was classic yet fun; breathable yet professional. How could I resist making this an investment piece for my wardrobe? Better yet, I did it again! Both pieces originally cost around $270 and I luckily bought them for $140! Shazam!

Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Lavender 

I’m sure everyone has tried at least one Sinful Colors Nail Polish and normally I always grab the standard OPI or Essie shade of fabulousness but I wanted to try something different and cheap! I was going to get the shade Cinderella but decided to go for Lavender. I tried it on my toes and surprisingly loved it . I’m wearing it right now and very satisfied with my choice. It’s dark with a purple-blue hue and only took 2 coats! It’s a steal and you can find it at every Target for $1.99! I can’t guarantee any other colors for this brand but Lavender is a contender! They nailed it!
