It’s no secret that fall is the best season for fashion, so when The Beverly Center asked me to participate in their “Show Us Your Style” fall fashion challenge, I of course accepted. The task: to style an outfit using $100 gift card to the Beverly Center and $25 gift card to Bloomingdales. The rules; we were allowed to use two items from our closet, one wardrobe item and one accessory. Putting together an entire outfit with $125 is no easy feat (hence the challenge) but I was ready! Here is the look I created.
I decided to focus on plaid since it’s such a huge trend this fall. I got this top from H&M a few weeks ago so I used it as the focal point of my look. I wanted to make the outfit more sophisticated than casual so I decided to use my Pashli Satchel since it would make things appear more expensive. (Let’s be honest with this budget we know where I’m going to shop right?)
Once I was at The Beverly Center, my first mission was the shoes. I headed over to Forever 21 and picked up these pretty burgundy heels for $36.80. There is a skinny burgundy stripe running through the plaid top so I knew they would tie the look together nicely. I then headed over to H&M with pants on my mind but when I saw this wool moto blazer with leather piping for $49.95, I knew I HAD to have it. I wasn’t sure it was in my budget until I stumbled upon these skinnies on sale for (wait for it) $10! I literally spent every cent of my $100 (in LA there’s tax on clothing) but the outfit was complete. Now for the jewelry.
All I had left was $25 gift card to Bloomingdales which left me wondering how I was going to afford more than a button. But I went in and scoured the accessory section until I found these sparkly earrings which were $20. Et Voila!
The winner will be announced at The Beverly Center on October 17th. I included the invite below because you are all invited! If you are in the Los Angeles area and able to attend I would love to see you there! If you are out of state or unable to make it you can catch the details on instagram @glamlatte.
Wish me luck!
