The holidays are officially here. (Don’t panic!) For some of us, myself included, that means going to multiple houses to see family and friends in one day, or days filled with shopping. When running from your car, to inside, you want something comfortable, warm, and stylish. Below I have three outfits that fit in with the winter trends for this year and will sure to make your holiday outfit choice a breeze, and of course save you money!
The first outfit is less than $50. The dress is a winter white Jennifer Lopez design. The dress is a size 14, and is $15. The necklace has shades of green, and also comes with matching earrings for just $18.
Since I am always on the go, I like to wear flats, and these green snake print ones are perfect! They are a size 7, and only $10! This look incorporates the winter white, and shades of green trends. Total outfit cost is just $43 before tax.
The second outfit is under $75. Pink is a great color for winter this 
season, and this American Eagle sweater fits the bill perfectly. I like to call this neon pink and neon pastel because it has a lighter tone to it that most neon pinks. This sweater would be great for layering and a white or cream tank would be perfect for underneath. The jeans are Martin and Olsa. I love dark wash jeans because I feel like they are the most flattering out of all of the washes.
The shoes are Born Concept mules, and they have a nice chunky heel that will make them very comfortable to wear. Wear thicker socks to keep your feet warm. My mom loves to wear mules and does so very often. The neck is a simple owl with cream rhinestones on it’s stomach. The sweater (size xs) and jeans (size 26) are $15, the necklace is $12, and the shoes (size 8) are $20. The total cost of this outfit is $62 before tax.
The final outfit is under $100. Fur is in for this winter season. If you’re not for the real stuff, you can always find a great faux fur vest or jacket at a great price. The mannequin is wearing a black CAbi turtleneck (size large, $15), a Bisou Bisou teal rabbit fur vest (size medium, $30), Gap jeans (size 10a, $15), BC Footwear boots (size 8, $20), and a silver long strand necklace with flowers and silver beads. The silver flower necklace is $10. Total outfit cost is $90 before tax! The BC Footwear boots can also be rolled down, so you get two looks with one pair!
All of these outfits would be much more at retail prices. The best part about consignment stores is that items usually resell for about half of the retail price, so you’re able to get more for your money!
All items can be purchased from My Girlfriend’s Wardrobe.
