What Would You Do With $300?

June 16, 2009 By

If someone gave you $300 to buy a complete outfit with, what would you purchase? Would you get lots of cheap things? Or a few really expensive things? I gave it some thought and decided to make the most of the $300 choosing affordable accessories that would really accentuate the boho/menswear style of the outfit I created.

I chose fabulous distressed jeans from Levis and a cap-sleeve fitted blouse from Banana Republic with a cute vest from Go Jane as the basis for my outfit.

I then added some cool boho-style jewelry that I found on sale at Kohls.com. Paired with a woven leather belt and some cute Steve Madden oxfords, this outfit is perfect for a casual weekend or running errands. I completed the look with a unique and eclectic Shoulder Bag I found on Overstock.com. This cool outfit contains 4 main pieces and 5 cool accessories.

If you had $300 for a whole new outfit, what would you do with it? What items would you buy?

    I would buy a gorgeous pair of heels from BCBG, BCBGirls or Badgley Mishka, they make gorgeous affordable heels, and gorgeous heels make every outfit look better :-)
