Closet Fashionista... Guest Blogger Day One

Hi guys! Megan from Closet Fashionista here! While Shannon is on vacation she asked me to step in and do a guest blog! I've decided to do a Dress for Less look which is one of the more popular features on my blog.
For my Dress for Less outfits I usually do the whole outfit for $100 but Shannon likes to show items under $100 so I figured I would combine the two, so each item is under $100!

Now is the time that many people escape to the beach to defeat the winter blues (much like Shannon is doing right now). So I figured why not make an outfit you can wear to the beach and out shopping on the boardwalk! Dressing for less is really quite easy, my tips are 1. ALWAYS buy on sale (well‚ almost always, you can splurge sometimes) and 2. Check for coupon codes before buying!

One of my favorite stores for cheaper designer clothes is The Outnet, they have past season pieces that are still totally in but WAY lower than retail prices. And every weekend they have a special sale where you get even more off of their already low prices! But they don't have much swimwear out now so I used Shopbop.

Swimsuit: Splendid $97

Skirt: Tori Praver Swimwear $99

Sandals: Sam Edelman $65

Hat: Cheap MondayMarc by Marc Jacobs $98

Thanks again Shannon for asking me to participate, I was honored that you thought of me!
