Long gone are the days when I would buy whatever I wanted without looking at the price tag. It use to be ALL ABOUT ME. Since having kids though, before I buy anything I have this constant conversation in my head convincing myself WHY I need it. But truth be told, I’ve learnt that you don’t need to spend much to look stylish. It’s all about how you wear it & seeing more than meets the eye.

To prove a point I decided to take a walk through Kmart & ended up at the change rooms with a trolley full of clothes!

I was so excited to end up with a heap of stylish outfits for UNDER $60. Not only do these clothes & accessories fit into a small budget, but they actually fit the body well, WIN-WIN! Oh I should mention too, this is not a sponsored post, just sharing the love from one bargain-lover to another.

Here’s what I found:

White Jeans $15

Chino jeans $15

Cargo pants $15

Black bodysuit (it’s actually swimwear) $20

Floral Wide leg Pants $20

Basic Black halter top $3.50

Floppy Black hat $15

Straw hat $9

Gold leaf necklace $5

Lace top $17

Shoes $20-$25

Black & White skirt $15

The best part is when people say, “Where did you get those from?”, I confidentiality & proudly respond with “Kmart, twenty bucks” (then I enjoy seeing the look on their face)!
