Fall Shopping at Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart is featuring a collection of dresses under $20. Here is one. I bought five dresses - all different styles - this weekend. Can you beat that find?
Here is a post, my friend, the Frugalista, would be proud of! On Saturday I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some diapers and red tights for my visiting 2 1/2-year-old niece when I noticed dresses for $15. I walked over, never unable to pass up a deal, and when I was done, I was ready to buy five including a deep red hoodie dress from the  Norma Kamali collection.  All together, even with the diapers, tights and a Dora the Explorer sweatshirt, I spent about $150. Can you dig it? 

This is not one of the dresses I bought, but it was from the collection. I'll post a pic when I wear one! Maybe later this week at happy hour?

I told  Jenice Armstrong at the Philadelphia Daily News and she admitted this weekend she found a perfect midi-pencil skirt at Kohl's. Fantabulous.  According to recent news, Issac Mizrahi is leaving Target, but we frugal fashionistas have other options. Tell us about your best bargain this fall. So far, this is mine!

    Hi Smartypants: I have a similiar pair of sandals that I've worn for two summers now from Payless that people always compliment. Up with Payless! Thanks for posting!

    Thanks for the shout out! I need to check out the Wal Mart collection. I'm a sucker for a good deal. My best bargain this year was a pair of $34 gladiator wedges. They were very fashionable and much cheaper than buying designer.

About Elizabeth Wellington
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you.
