Since many here prefer to buy garments or footwear discounted, onsale, used, what have you...I thought it would be an interesting idea to pose somewhat of a challenge. Here is the premise- Post a picture of an outfit of yours in which no single piece cost you more than $100 dollars. Also, if you can recall the specifics, post what each piece is and what it cost you. Hopefully we'll see some complete thrift store get-ups, some second hand wonders or garage sale finds. Sound fun?
