Want to learn more about how to save on your favorite trends? I have been getting a lot of great feedback on my Trends For Less sets because lets face it, we’re all not rolling in dough! Many young women are discouraged by the implication that you must spend top dollar on every item in your closet. That’s simply not true. Everyone and anyone can enjoy fashion. You just need to know where the deals are! I always say save on trends, splurge on staples.

Lately I’m just crazy about leopard print! That’s why I featured a Dorothy Perkins leopard print handbag in my set above because it’s just gorgeous. I’m telling you, leopard print is the new black. You heard it here first! Next, I chose a berry bow chiffon top paired with a pleated white belted skirt. I love the top because it has the perfect combination of my favorite things: bows and ruffles. Everything about this top is fantastic, right down to the color. 

I accessorized with a J.Crew salmon cardigan, Payless nude flats, Betsey Johnson heart studs, and gold bangle set. The J.Crew cardigan is more than a great deal; it’s a steal! They have great quality and prices that are normally not quite so affordable. This cardigan was on sale for just $30. Another steal was the Payless nude flats. Payless is a wonderful trend-spot because their prices are low, they have great sales, and the quality isn’t terrible. Flats are easy to find cheap, but you want to find one with a good sole so your feet don’t suffer. This pair appears to have a good structure.

Today we came in with a grand total of just $186! That’s insane for a fully accessorized outfit! This is proof it can be done. What’s your brag-worthy shopping deal? What items do you like to save on?
