A few of my favorite (under $20) things
After the Chloe T-shirt episode, I really had to go back to basics.
Just what does it mean to be a Deal Diva, I asked myself? Each of us has our own definition of it. But for me, it's about more than merely being a penny pincher. A Deal Diva is a person who knows that looking good can and does help you feel good -- but it doesn't have to hurt your bank account. It's someone who isn't afraid to go into a high-end department store and ask how much something costs. A person who knows that sometimes you do need to pay full price. But who is also aware that a good consignment store could possibly be a better invention than ice cream.
With that said, I set out to prove that this Diva does indeed love a Deal! These are the things I (heart) right now, $20 and under.
Red layered cardigan, Ann Taylor, $19.99
Zip ankle leggings, Nordstrom's, $11.99.
Fatigue skirt, Gap, $14.99.
