I may be down but I am not out.
I may not be able to buy any new clothes for a year but I can still be a contender.
This is my answer to Kasmira's Recession Outfit Challenge.
Find a whole outfit for under $20.
This translates to just over £14.00.
I spent the whole drive to work (45 minutes) yesterday thinking about this and here's what I came up with - all for under £14.00.
The dress , which I have worn before came from eBay last year.
It was brand new with tags and came from Wallis. I got it for £2.19.
The sandals are a pair my daughter bought from Primark with her pocket money a few months ago and came to £4.91.
The cardigan was also from Primark and was reduced to £3.00.
The snake belt (worn as a necklace) was, yes another Primark find.
It wa sin the bargain bin and reduced to £1.00.
The scarf which I wore as a belt came free with In Style magazine a few years ago.
The bracelet was free with the Spanish In Style magazine which I bought in Barcelona last year.
The sunglasses were £1.99 in Tesco last year.
That makes £13.09 or $19.69
No wonder I'm jumping for joy - job done!

I suffered three tantrums today, (not mine) got a tiny bit tipsy, and went mad on ebay... I think I bought these sandals - they look lovely.
I also bought a snake-print cardigan.
I am holding you fully and completely responsible

Jane, you look so lovely! I don't think I have seen this dress before. I'm so impressed. And the snake belt worn as necklace... you are hot, mama!
Wow well done - I haven't had chance to think about my outfit yet - but I don't think i'll be able to wear any shoes :(
Excellent as usual. I don't know how you find the time to look so perfect. Always! Even when you're jumping on the trampoline!!!
This outfit is FANTASTIC. I can't believe what a great deal you got on everything....and the snake belt/necklace is very, very cool. :)
Impressive bargain finds and BEAUTIFUL combination of items! I love the belt worn as a necklace.
Gosh what a fantastic response, thank you so much for taking the trouble to comment.
Great job...and I love the dress, so pretty!
The details on the cardi is the same as a JCrew Cardi. And for much less!
so gorgeous!
fabulous!~ LOVE the snake. Love. And the dress. And that first shot is worthy of a framing, so cute!~
Wow, that's fantastic! I don't think I could do a whole outfit for under $20 - the shoes would push me over.
And you look lovely in this!
I saw your snake on 90210 today - Shannen Doherty was wearing it!!!
