I may not be an expert on fashion, but I must say I do share a love of looking my best. Appearance is something media has capitalized on and told us this is fashion, this is beauty.

Fashion designers usually have a pretty high price tag that aren’t always affordable for those who love fashion.

I’m thankful my taste in clothing has evolved from jumpers and turtlenecks like the good old days of elementary school to modernized and trendy dresses with boots and leggings. As I became more financially conscious, I noticed that it’s not always feasible buying clothes from Gap and Express.

When affordable and trendy combine, there’s magic.

Music to a college student’s ears. This week I have a fairly simple, yet chic dress from Forever21.com.

There’s not much to this dress, but I like it for that very reason. Imagine accessorizing with cream leggings, orange jewelry, and lighter brown boots. How about those earrings, too. Cute, huh?
