Bargain Styling

Warning- Shameless self promotion!

A few months ago, I decided to combine my love of bargains, New York City, and fashion. It has always been my goal to start my own business(I teach entrepreneurship) and I always have a trillion ideas. This particular idea came to me because my sister and I were always getting compliments on our outfits. And people were always amazed when they found out how much we paid for them. I thought people would be happy to not have to go around to 12 different stores to get a complete outfit - so OutFitKit was born.

What is OutFitKit? It is an on-line website where you can get a complete outfit for under $60. Each $35-$39 outfit comes complete with a handbag and accessories. When you add shoes to your outfit - the shoes ship for free. The best part is the clothes all come from New York City.

Here is one of my favorites outfits:

You can purchase this outfit here

I am thinking about adding a new line of vintage outfits. What do you think? Would you purchase an entire outfit made from vintage clothes?

Anyone who knows me, knows I love shoes. Boots, flats, high heels, sandals, doesn’t matter - I love them all. I get most of my shoes from Payless Shoe Source - who can beat their amazing sales? Right now they have a Buy One, Get One ½ Half EVERYTHING Sale (shoes, purses, whatever they have!). Here are a few of my current favorite shoes from their selection.

These pink glitter shoes are SO adorable (and I don’t even like pink)! Available in pink, silver & black for $19.99.

Again, I don’t really like the color pink, but these are just too cute to pass up. $14.99

Geez, it’s about time. I was getting withrawals over here. I’m liking their Marvelous Espadrille Slide. Both is Navy Blue and Yellow. First pair would be $19.99. The next one would be $9.99. This is a deal one should never pass up. PAYLESS Rules

PAYLESS is where I mostly buy my shoes. I ALWAYS take advantage of their BOGO sale. That’s Buy One Get One 1/2 off for you people who have no idea what it means. The store have been showcasing sexy designs lately like my favorite red shoes and the orgasmically eye popping green heels. I’ve also purchased my 2 faux suede knee high boots(black and brown) there. Not only are they affordable for my husband’s wallet ;), they’re also surprisingly comfortable. I’ve been seeing their Spring commercials on TV lately so I thought I’d visit their online site to make notes for my annual Shoes Wishlist. Boy was I dissappointed. Actually, after perusing the site, I was left in a very depressing mood. It is really bad when a shoe freak like me feels this way :(.

This is the “Jessica” Round Toe Pump. This comes in other colors as well. That tidbit doesn’t really make me all excited about this shoes. Despite the sexy heels, I absolutely hate it. I have 1 pair of round toe pump and I absolutely love it but this one is just FUGLY. Sorry. It’s supposed to be what’s “in” for Spring but I’m not impressed. This shows you how confident I am with my style. Just because something is “in”, that doesn’t mean I will be all over it especially when I know I will look like crap in it. I know what I like and I know what looks good in me, this pair just doesn’t cut it.

Now this Kalypso pair from American Eagle collection is under the “so and so” category. I’m not uber-excited over it but for some reason the color is jumping at me. Maybe because it’s hard to find a navy colored pair of shoes. I’d love to own one in that color but I’m not sure about the design. It’s cute as hell but I’m a 30yr old Momma, the word “cute” belongs to my 6 month old baby girl. I on the other hand strives to be chic and sexy. The proverbial word there is ‘strives‘, hehe.

Oh well, PAYLESS will get it right again to redeem their reputation. Hopefully soon.
