Outfit One

this outfit is basically made up of a black tank top and a frilly grey cotton skirt (both from New Look). it is extremely comfortable and not too formal yet not too casual (skirts that are not denimn scream FORMAL in your face. tank top yells casual). the shoes are existing in my wardrobe. black velvet ballet flats with a big bow at the toes.

tank top: $25.99
skirt: $39.99
shoes: $0
total: $65.98 (well within budget)

comments:
big fitting room area. shop keeper didn't really care/didn't see that we were taking pictures inside. not much of a problem.
