All In One Outfit for the Budgetista!

Imagine .... Friday... much awaited weekend, and at......

9am    Go to work

1pm    Business Lunch

4pm    Presentation at the Office

7pm   Best friend's 30th Birthday Party

You turn up at your BFF's city bash in a stunning outfit matched with a nice handbag and a silly ol' tote bag to carry your spare shoes and spare clothes for the day :(

These days its a bit of a challenge to find a wardrobe that will suit all types of calling in one day (+ within our budget).

I do not have the exact statistics but just so you know dear budgetistas, there's more clothes hanging on the online rail now than ever before, which is why I am here to help you find just a few of them.

Now imagine Friday.....

Wait, don't spoil the surprise.  This is your £20 frock (www.my987wardrobe.com) for your BFFs bash but you are going to be in it when you get in to work. How? Roll the belt and keep it in your handbag for the evening bash.  Instead, wear an "easy to roll" spare belt  from New Look (Stretch Beaded Belt £6.99)

Do you think I am going to let you turn up in your office with "one shoulder"?  Cover up with a decent and classic Blazer from H&M at £24.99.  Perfect cut for this frock because it won't cover the belt.

Shoes:  I checked out this pair from www.discountshoestore.co.uk:  WAS £12.00 Now £7.00!!!!

Make up: LESS IS MORE.  Please do not carry the whole wedding make-up range of Max Factor with you.  Take only the essentials: foundation, eyeliner, eyeshadow and lipstick (preferably two in one that you can smudge on your cheeks for a natural blush look!)

Now keep all these and other essentials in this classic vintage faux croc handbag £25.00 from JulyTwenty.com.  Don't forget the rolled up belt for the evening event.  It will fit, promise!

Now you are ready to go to work, business lunch and presentation.

6pm...top up your make-up and add some gold tone accessory set £25 from JulyTwenty.com.  Change the belt.  Now you're ready to party!

The above items are classic pieces and can be worn again via mix and match.  You can always change the look of the frock with a different styled belt or a patterned blazer.
