September Fab Five: Random Joys
Melissa (Age 26, USA)

I love reading fashion magazines but one of the things I hate is how when they put together outfits, it usually costs several hundred dollars. Money I don’t have. Even the supposed “cheap” outfits are too expensive for most people. Plus it tends to create one outfit and that’s it. I can’t really do much with a leopard print dress, even if I wish it was actually versatile. So for this article, we take 5 articles of clothing and show you five different outfits created out of those five pieces of clothing. The entire cost is $150. I use accessories through some of the outfits and include those separately from the clothing pieces. Even those though don’t cost more than $50 total.

This Fab Five was all about taking a seemingly random group of pieces and seeing how they could go together quite well. The Fab Five consist of a LBD (little black dress), belted blazer, and embroidered skirt from Forever 21, Lace crop top from Topshop and a graphic tee from Delias.
