TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS & TWENTY MINUTES LATER

SUPRÉ dress, diva cuffs, rubi sandals, colette bag, dotti belt, YSL ring
If you missed my face on TV last night, here is a breakdown of the outfit that I put together, all for $139. (OK... minus my own added YSL ring.. my new baby which I refuse to ever take off my hand) Budget shopping under 20 minutes is not easy I tell you. When we were given the theme "The Maxi Dress" by the Westfield Insider team, I immidiately had this colour in mind. I will be prancing around in this coral-ey pink a lot this summer, I think it's beautiful and goes very well with beiges, tans and golds.

So the first thing I did was dash to SUPRÉ, who I knew had this maxi dress at a decent price ($35). Once the dress box was ticked, I felt like I had a colour and a shape to go off, and opted for the plaited belt from Dotti ($12) to tie together the masses of material just flying around my body, to a slimmer shape. When it came to shoes I wanted to add something simple, in the same shade as the belt. I had seen these sandals in black at Rubi Shoes before, and ran to the store in hope of them having them in tan. And they did. ($30). Next stop was Diva, and straight to the "2 for 1" wall. A lot of fashion bloggers at home such as lisaplace.se have been rocking the double cuff, and I felt this would be something slightly nouveau and different ($14), and also chucked in a golden beaten ring for another ($14). The bag was collected at Colette Accessories for ($34), I wanted a hand held clutch in a light beige to break up the colour palette just slightly.

So all up, $139, with a fiesty $61 to spare for a really, really fancy lunch. I had so much fun with this, and what a surprise that you can get away with a decent outfit for a mere $139, an amount which I could easily spend on ONE pair of heels.
