I was given an opportunity with Macy's to create a look for New Year's Eve. They gave me $150.00 to create an outfit and I took that as a challenge to create as many outfits as I can with $150 or less!
Now, I will be frank with you. I am not the type of girl who wears a dress and find it ludicrous to wear it a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time around. If I can remember, I spent only $4.00 on my prom dress in High School. It was hideous, and I am okay with only wearing that once. After all, it was only $4.00.
I like to think that anything above the $15.00 mark is deserving of an encore.
Here is the list of things I bought and you better believe I will work it and re-work it as many times as possible.
*Madden Girl Pumps Orig: $59.00 Sale: $21.50 (Blue/Aqua)
*Nine West Strap Pumps Orig: $89.00 Sale: $22.25
*Material Girl Chevron Top Orig: $28.00 Sale: $9.99 Extra 30%: $6.99
*BCX Gold Top Orig: $39.99 Sale: $23.40 Extra 30%: $16.38
*Material Girl Dress: Orig: $42.00 Sale: $25.20 Extra 30 %: $17.64
*XoXo Tweed Jacket Orig: $79.00 Sale:$39.99 Extra 40%: $23.99
*BCX Blue Pants Orig:$39.99 Sale: $23.40 Extra 30%: $16.28
*Material Girl Triangle Necklace Orig: $18.00 Sale: $9.00
*Material Girl Layered Necklace Orig: $18.00 Sale: $9.00
Totals Spent: $143.03
I was able to whip up 8 outfits with what I got. There are still a few more possibilities that I didn't play with. I think this is a good enough overload. By they way, we are still getting 70 degree weather. It JUST got cold right on Christmas Day!
Personally for me, not all of these are a NYE look. However, for the girls who are a little bit more subtle with fashion, some of these might be right on or it might just be too much. The cool thing about style is, you get to dictate how it works!

This is what they are having on their website. I am sure you can score a lot of great things this week.
