So this is the beginning of my 20 plus size pieces under $30 segment. A really good friend of mine inspired this new segment that I'm going to do once a month. She is what you would call frugal. I always joke and say that she doesn't want to spend more than $30 on any clothing or accessory item. I also always get a lot of readers that ask me how they can shop cheaply, but still accomplish the look that they want. I see deals all the time, but that's probably because it's my job to be on the internet looking for fabulous finds. Looking for great deals requires you to stalk the your favorite shops and it is work. I decided to take a little bit of the work out of it for you with my top 20 pics for the month. I hope you find something that you like. Let me know what you think of this type of segment.

Love this new segment! I've got my eye on the blue scalloped edge shorts ;). Only thing is, the links don't work.. Is that just me?
ReplyDeleteUh oh.. Don't know what I did but I don't know how that link on the word "shorts" got there! Please ignore, I don't know what it is.... Sorry!
DeleteSome of the links would not work for me as well, but here is a link to the navy pencil skirt pictured above. I purchased this skirt at Target on clearance, and it is a fabulous cut and fit!

The only link that I couldn't get to work is the Labworks one...I just replaced it. Thanks for letting me know.

ReplyDeleteForever 21 is my number one place I like to shop for pieces which are consistently reasonably priced! Old Navy is my second favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh why DP stop at size 50/20 ? :'(
ReplyDeleteI've worn quite a few 20s of theirs...a lot of plus size bloggers do...you should give them a try
DeleteThis is a great feature! Truly love affordable pieces.
ReplyDeleteI'm like your friend. I don't really want to pay an arm and a leg for my pieces. I will splurge on something that I really want, but other than that, I'm a "is it on sale?" kind of girl. That polka dot dress is calling my name!! I need to get into something other than stripes and I think this dress fits the bill.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a big stomach should you wear the pleated skirt? The pleats look big and not sure they would lay flat..
ReplyDeleteI have this skirt in the peachy color. The pleats lay pretty flat. I can see what you mean by adding extra volume, but I thought the pleats acted more like ruching. I hope that helps.

ReplyDeleteThanks Chastity, GREAT Post! I'm a frugalista too and I very seldom pay more then $25 for clothing. I usually stop at department stores and off price stores though - Macys in particular often has the best sales/just bought some Calvin Klein printed pants for $23 last week!
ReplyDeleteYeah I didnt like anything macys had on sale but ill be stalking them for next month
DeleteAwesome new segment, I'm not that frugal (my hubs probably wishes I was), but I love a great deal! Thanks again!!
ReplyDeleteI now have a new obsession - Dorthy Perkins. i nearly swooned over the Powder Room collections. I got so excited I sent the link to my husband.
ReplyDeleteLovely peplum skirt. Me likey. X0X0
ReplyDeleteVery helpful love the segment :-)
ReplyDeletejust wondering what's your opinion on "capsule wardrobes"? i'm thinking of trying it for my winter wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteI think they are excellent! A great way to have many pieces to mix and match on a budget!!! What capsule collection are you thinking of ordering?
DeleteI wasn't aware I could order one, can you suggest a few vendors? I was going to shop around for my pieces. I'm plus size btw so I was gonna hit Macys, H&M, and Dillards. Thx.
DeleteI've seen one done by Target (the labworks collection last spring) & JIBRI -- I haven't seen anything new come out so far. I do know that labworks did come out with some new pieces.
DeleteLove the new segment! These are good finds that can tradition into fall!! Thanks!
