Lookbook: Under $100

I have yet to download any pictures from Mexico yet but I took plenty of lookbook pictures before we left so am posting those this week. Once I have my Mexico pictures I will update you all on the trip! :)

Everything in this lookbook is under $100, even the shoes! I know, rare for me right? This little purple jacket is what made the outfit.

When I was frequently traveling to Europe for work, I always stopped in H&M and Zara wherever I was because I didn't have any of those stores near me. I loved the price points and the fun clothes that you could get. When H&M finally opened up in Seattle, it took me about 6 months to actually go there, not because it was far away (there is one in downtown), it just wasn't high on my priority list. I heard about the crazy lines and crowds and to be honest, cheap clothes + crowds+ lines are not my thing. (crowds+lines are not my thing period. This is why I try to take vacations on the off seasons) Maybe also because I could easily access the store now, it just didn't appeal to me the same as when I was shopping at the Barcelona store. Anyway, I have only bought one thing from the Seattle store, which is this little jacket.

Those of you that have been in that store, isn't it totally difficult to navigate and horribly unorganized? I would poke my eyes out if I had to shop there for more than an hour. I just scanned the place, found this jacket and ran out of there. I hate unorganized stores, that's also why I'm a pretty terrible "bargain hunter" I have no patience to sift through racks of clothes to find the one gem. If it's not laying out on a table or prettily hanging on a hanger, I will not even look. I'm a total sucker for placement. I'm one of those people that go to the grocery store and buy everything at the end of the aisle!

Here's the breakdown:

How much do I love Cheap Monday? They always have such great pieces at such great price points. If you are wondering, I always get my Cheap Monday pieces from Ian in downtown Seattle. They have a great selection for both men and women. I'm actually wearing the skirt backwards as it has an exposed zipper, which is a detail that I love but just didn't go with the outfit.

This is how you are supposed to wear it but it works backwards too!

I wore this outfit on a Saturday to walk the dogs and run some errands, nothing I had to get dressed up for so I didn't bother with the hair or makeup either. Sometimes I love getting dressed up for nothing but this was just not one of those days.

Punam has posted the pictures of my sister's wedding. Check it out! Gorgeous, gorgeous and gorgeous. I even love the crazy one of me dancing. That's how I do it, I don't hold back :)
