Forever Frugal Friday ~ Steal vs. Splurge

 

if you like these archer sandals by dolce vita for $68.95, you will LOVE these even more...

 

forever 21 is currently selling these almost identical metal-trimmed thong sandals  (except in price) for $16.80!  for the price of one dv sandal you can get three!  i may not be a genius when it comes to math, but i know a good deal when i see one, and this my friends is a great deal!

i haven't hopped on the "it's fall now" bandwagon at all.  i still want to wear summery dresses and play in the sunshine and late into the night. 

 

while fall doesn't technically arrive until september 22nd, perhaps i can ease into the new season with this button tab shirtdress w/ belt.  i mean it kind of has long sleeves, and it's black so that makes it fall-ish right? 

 

even if the temperatures are super hot still here in l.a., once the sun goes down this dress is easily transitioned with ankle booties or even glam it up with some sexy heels for date night. 

 

whatever way you choose to wear it, you are sure to be a hit!

a good, cute belt is always such a task to find.  i recently saw my coworker sporting an adorable black bow belt with her skirt and when i asked where she got it, she said a four letter word...SAKS. 

well since my paycheck doesn't yet allow me the ability to shop at SAKS, it does allow me to shop at forever and these darling dainty bow belts (available in peach, black and red) are a steal at $4.80!

perfect for that summer dress and adds just a little bit of cheekiness - go grab one immediately...heck, get wild, grab all three!

i am still hesitant to wear flats with my short stubby legs, but kind of really adore these sweet, girlie metallic bow flats that would look just perfect with a cute white shirt dress and your hair in a pony or top knot. 

sparkle + bow +  comfort = summertime fun!

arm candy is a look/trend that i just love but haven't tried yet.  i see it on my roomie, on my blog friends, on celebs, pretty much everyone and still i haven't sported this trend yet. 

after spying the pieces above i feel like i may have to try the trend soon as they are all perfect additions to a few pieces i already have.

what do you think about the arm candy trend?  love it?  hate it?  what are the rules/keys to a successful arm?
