Style on a Budget: Cheetah Print Dress & Flats

November 29, 2016

**Not a sponsored post.

I had a job interview last week with a local gently used clothing store that specializes in trending women’s wear. I turned to my closet after I got the call and set up the interview, and after some thought, decided I needed a new, cute and trendy outfit. With only $20 to spare, I freaked out just a little.

I took a trip down to my local DD’s Discounts, and was in heaven – so many great deals and items – even stuff for the home! I had a specific type of outfit in mind though – I was looking for a solid bottom of some sort, either skirt or slacks, and a cheetah print top. I searched, and searched and tried on, but no luck – I couldn’t find cheetah print anywhere but leggings. Just as I was about to give up, I came across this short, cheetah print dress by Speed Control New York. It’s lightweight made from 100% polyester, and even has pockets! It features an elastic waistline, and darted blouse. It’s a little short – ending just above my knee, but still provides good coverage. Dress damage – $6. No luck on shoes at DD’s…

Right next door to this DD’s, was a Shoeland – a favorite of mine 🙂
There, I found these dark brown flats by Herstyle. These flats are sueded, and have a pointed front as seen in the photo. Comfortable, cute and affordable. Shoe damage – $10.

So… For less than $20, I got a new, trendy outfit to wear to my job interview (or out on the weekends). Where do you like to shop on a budget?

If you love to bake, craft and DIY too, I would love to see your photos and get your recommendations! Join the EyeLoveKnots Crafting Community to share your creations, and see what other’s are up to!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
