Style on a Budget: Bow Blazer
Let me take you on a journey through one of my latest Style on a Budget escapades!
I am not a budget shopper at heart. I have always been the impulse-type shopper. I want what I want, now! But being a young twenty-something, it isn’t always easy to keep up with my ever-evolving style and expensive taste. The truth is, you can have impeccable style while on a budget. It just takes more work!
More recently, I discovered the many joys and perks of internet shopping. While lounging on my couch, I browse my favorite stores sales pages. The websites nowadays have banners and e-blasts when they’re having a big, site-wide sale. Sites like Banana Republic often have sales with discounts as big as 30-40%, while sites like White House Black Market slowly marks down items as time passes. Cha-ching! I can have what I want and at the price I can afford.
I’m obsessed with bows! So when I discovered this amazing blazer on White House Black Market‘s website, I knew it was a match made in heaven. This blazer has me written all over it! But- womp, womp– it was $150. It wasn’t a good time for a splurge, so I had to sit this one out. As a frequent shopper of White House Black Market’s sale page, I knew they would mark it down eventually. I just had to wait!
Then it happened. Yes, they marked it down! First it went down to $69 and then right as I was about to buy it, it went down to… $35!
When I was awaiting the blazer’s arrival to my house, I had hoped that I would love it as much in person. And I did! It has a flattering fit and the bow is detachable for more versatility. It love that it’s classic black and white. It has that Audrey Hepburn and Old Hollywood vibe to it!
What an amazing find!
