4 ways to "Stay on trend but not break the bank."

-
I have a love for fashion or more so, AFFORDABLE FASHION. I love finding a good deal on clothing, accessories and more!

Here are 4 key ways to stay "on trend without breaking the bank."

1) Start with buying basics. Basic t-shirt, basic sweater, basic jeans. Once you have these, it's like a canvas you can constantly change up! Below I paired a long sleeved shirt  (on sale at Old Navy for $12!) And added a cute blanket scarf and some booties!

2) Never pay full price. I never pay full price! It's a blessing and a curse signing up for emails because A) You know about sales and B) You know about sales. You feel me? Set a budget and stick to it. It's amazing the deals you find if you're pinching pennies. There is also great sites like Ebates where you get money back on purchases. Ca-ching. More savings! (Boots were $9.99 @JustFab)

3) Trendy clothes will make its way into just about every clothing company at some point. So browse...a lot! I don't generally shop $$ name brand unless it's a crazy sale! I will sometimes pay a bit more for local or Canadian made clothing though. ( Bell sleeved sweater was $30 Reg $65. Brand is Lord and Taylor) 

4) Shop used! There are many great deals to be found on sites like Varagesale, Kijiji and even your local thrift shop. Take a look and you may be surprised.  I got this striped tank from good Ol' Value Village for $9.00. 

Dress is a Vince Camuto I bought for $20 on Varagesale! 

Happy deal shopping ❤😘

Hello! My name is Megan. I've blogged on and off (more off) since 2011! I am a wife, mom, follower of Jesus, lover of fashion, makeup and traveling. This will be reflected in my posts and they will contain a little bit of everything. I also am an M.S. "fighter." My hope is to raise awareness and also encourage anyone who is fighting an autoimmune disease! I got married at the ripe old age of, ahem 19. As you can imagine I got some interesting and sometimes unwarranted reactions. "You're engaged?" " How old are you? Do you know how high the divorce rate is?" " I would never let my daughter get married that young"....yada yada yada. But thankfully I didn't listen to what anyone said! I have been married to my husband for over 6 years and haven't regretted it for one second! I have 2 beautiful boys, Noah (3) and Levi (almost 2) and a puppy named Tucker!  This is my beautiful, complicated and often crazy life.

     Wow time really got away from me the last couple of months. I had meant to post about this a LONG time ago! Here is a recap of my trip to Carlsbad/ San Deigo, California! This was the first time I had ever left my kids, but it was a great recharge for me. I got to tag along for a work conference for my dads company.  Kudos to my husband for totally nailing it at home. And also my dad for winning an award! (At the awards dinner) Carlsbad, California  We stayed at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad. Its over 4500 acres in total and has a few golf courses. To be honest it felt like its own little town. There were multiple restaurants and a shopping areas, along with over 8 pools! Not going to lie though it was COLD. Like I was shivering without a jacket during the day cold...definitely not the warm Californian escape I was expecting. HA! But I really can't complain because it was a treat to see flowers and palm trees in the winte...
