Affordable by Amanda

i love the {classics} man

September 16, 2015

Joe Fresh Button Down {$9.94} // Old Navy Boyfriend shorts {$19} 
Kendra Scott Elisa Rose Gold Druzy Necklace // Kate Spade Wellesley Bag

I love classic pieces as much as the next girl, but there is no way I want to spend J.Crew prices to get the J.Crew look. I’ve found ways to create my own version of the J.Crew style on a college friendly budget! Enter this outfit above. I have on a blue button-down {this white one is $10, too} that is honestly insanely comfortable {and one sale for under $10!} and some crisp white boyfriend shorts {the white after Labor day rule is something I do not abide by, hehe} and a large Kate Spade bag {this one is on sale from $298 to $178 and its HUGE!, or this tote is under $200} that was only $100 at the outlet mall. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this look and I hope to create more “preppy on a budget” inspired looks for the fall.

    I'm so glad you did this look! I love the preppy style, but can't afford to spend a bunch on the pieces. Lately, I've been obsessed with Joe Fresh! I might have to get that top πŸ™‚

      Thanks, Cristina! I am with you girl, I can not shop at J.Crew all the time even though I love the look so much! I am planning on doing some "look for less" posts, soon πŸ™‚ xo
