Top Finds Under $50

Most of my blog posts have focused on discounted designer items: names we already know, for less.  Today's post, however, focuses on magically trendy and adorable finds that are under $50. No discounts, no secret samples sales; these are clothes and accessories naturally priced for the frugal fashionista, and we should take advantage.

First find:

These Madden girl sandals are only 49.95 at Zappos.  These sandals are adorable; they are versatile enough to be worn to a tea party, or to the beach.  Stilettos make every girl's calf look awesome so this is a deal that will boost self confidence and sex appeal, assuming that you can stand in them. 

Second find:

Taryndawn Jewelry offers these handmade, freshwater pearl and sterling silver earrings for only $24.99 at shop.taryndawnjewelry.com.  Remember my post on how shopping artisan means good deals and good karma? Taryndawn Jewelry is a prime example: one New England artisan who makes all of her jewelry with one pair of needle-nose pliers.  These earrings are classy enough to be work to the office, and exciting enough to be worn to a night-club.  

Third find: 

I am a sucker for glitz, glamour, and everything that goes with it.  This Colorifics evening clutch is perfect for the prom, or a college formal.  Any future frugal and fashionable brides out there? This clutch will be perfect to keep vital touch-up makeup (and maybe a hip flask if your family is anything like mine) during the reception. Best part? It's only $39.99 at David's Bridal, and also comes in black.  

Happy Shopping! :)
