Glitz and Gold







Dress ($6)--Forever 21
Skirt ($8)--Wet Seal
Bag ($6)--thrifted Target
Flats ($5)--Target


I am one of the most frugal fashion enthusiasts you will ever meet and this dress is probably one of the best deals I’ve ever scored. When I saw it on the clearance rack at Forever 21, my eyes widened and I quickly snatched it up. It was only SIX DOLLARS. I have a huge thing for gold and sequins, so this dress was definitely a keeper. It’s normally body hugging, but I added my favorite flouncy skirt on top to make it more playful. This would've been the perfect New Year’s Eve look for a glamorous night out that only exists in my imagination haha.

I also added a new feature to my sidebar--I decided to do a favorite comment of the week post to encourage more genuine comments. Copy and paste or one word comments have become so common and they take away the sincerity and bonding that can come with reading blogs. It makes me sad. With a sort of incentive, you lovelies get a chance to be featured for being sincere and I get to read more comments that make me smile. Fingers crossed it works (:

Happy New Year!

XOXO,

Lily

Happy new year to you too, lovely Lily. Speaking of lovely, you've put together a very nice outfit here. This is quite a bit different from your usual colorful outfits. However, your beauty and style remain as golden as the sequin accents on your dress and the golden handbag. I also like your flats as well as your hair. Great style!

Wowow you get so many of your items for awesome prices! You, my lady, are an amazing bargain shopper. :)

Ad everything is so cute, too! I love black and hold together. So very classy and perfect for the holidays. Your big shiny gold purse is perfect!

Katie Aman said...

Oh, I love all of the gold accents in your outfit! This is so well put together. I'm thinking glamorous New Year's parties only happen in the movies because I didn't have one either! haha. But it sure is fun to style for one, isn't it? :) Really glad I found your blog, you have super fun style!

Forever21 is tha place to be for frugalista's! I LOVE their jewelry selection most ;) Also, such a sweet idea to feature the most sincere comment :) I too have a lot of "nice look, follow me, I'll follow you!" kind of comments, but I don't really think there's anything you can do about it. Except for ignoring those and be genuine and appreciative of other bloggers yourself :) x

What? Only $6?! That's amazing! I love your idea of adding a fuller skirt to a body-forming dress. I'll definitely use that idea! You look beautiful!
Happy new year!

I couldn't agree more with both of your points: gold and glittery is spectacular, and insincere comments just bum me out. That favorite comment widget is such a great idea! I truly love the originality of your blog!

True that. It's pretty common for new bloggers to have the follow back syndrome.

As for your outfit, I'm in love with the pop of gold and the skater dress, too!
