Frugal Fashion Finds

Our family has a function to attend this weekend, and my daughter and I wanted something new to wear. As usual, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on new outfits for the two of us. I had recently received a coupon in the mail for 10% off from Dress Barn. The weather is supposed to be warm this weekend, and I knew they were having a 50% off sale on summer dresses, so off we went to our local Dress Barn.

At Dress Barn, my daughter found this cute floral maxi dress, which looks amazing on her. The original price on the dress was $39.99. However, it was on a rack of dresses with a sign that said 50% off, plus our local store offered another 10% off. Along with my coupon, we paid $16.00 for her dress.

I found this pretty black dress on the same rack. You can't go wrong with black. All I have to do is add a coordinating jacket and boots from my closet, and this dress can be worn right into the fall and winter.

Black clothing is difficult to photograph well enough to see the detail, but if you look closely, you may be able to see the cute cutout design at the neckline. It is also made of this incredibly comfortable, yet flattering fabric. Again, with the discounts, I paid $16.00 for it. I also bought the necklace (pictured) to go with it for $13.50.

Next, we headed off to Old Navy. Beth, one of the youth group leaders at our church works there, and she gave us some friends and family coupons for 30% off. Thanks, Beth! We each bought a pair of jeggings, like the ones pictured on the right, and my daughter bought the adorable lounge pants pictured below. Like many of the lounge pants at Old Navy, they roll up into a capri-style. We spent $30.45 total at Old Navy!

Our shopping trip yesterday was a frugal success at Dress Barn and Old Navy.
