Steals n Deals

What I'm Wearing: // Coat | Forever 21 // Cropped Top | Thrifted // Baggy Jeans | Vintage // Shoes | H&M // Belt | Vintage

I'm all about getting more out of less. Everything that I'm wearing totals up to be less than $50. Let's break it down, shall we? The coat that I'm wearing is from Forever 21. I'm quite selective when it comes to purchasing from Forever 21 because you never know how the quality will turn out. It's usually a straight on hit or miss for me when I shop at Forever. Depending on the location and time of year, they can carry quite a few great quality items. I found this gem of a coat a year ago at Forever 21. It was the last one in the store and retailed for about $60 which was reasonable for the quality and sturdiness of it. It was in a size medium, which is usually too big for me, but I had to purchase it. The deal on this coat was 50% off, making the coat only $30. Quite a steal!

Moving on down to the bottom half, my shoes are from H&M. These boots are absolutely gorgeous, classy, and SO sexy and I am so in love with them. I'm usually a little skeptic with the quality of the shoes at H&M, but they do sometimes carry shoes with great quality. Again, sometimes it's just a complete hit or miss. These boots were again, the last ones in the store. They are genuine leather, and the retail price was $129. They're great, great quality and so slick. I was lucky enough to get the amazing sale price on these beauts. I purchased them for $7 and I had never been happier that day. Let's be real. Steals like that just don't come around often enough! 

The top I purchased was thrifted for $5. My jeans were a vintage hand-me-down DIY'ed with rips, and my belt was a vintage hand-me-down as well. 

Totaling up what I would have spent for this outfit: around $250 
Totaling up what I did spend for this outfit: $42
