Fashion Friday: The cocktail dress

I love a good deal and I love fashion. I do not love spending a lot of money to look great. I have to admit I am a name brand junkie and with paid off credit cards I intend to stay fashionable on a frugal budget. I often wonder what kind of dress should I wear to a cocktail party. I want to stand out in a good way. I love colors. I decided this was the perfect dress for three reasons.

1) The color. It is in the jewel family and I will not drowned in a sea of black dresses

2) The details are subtle and classic.

3) The price. I got this dress at Plato’s closet for just $15.00. The brand is Calvin Klein I imagine it retailed for over $89.00.  I also had to provide my own belt just for fun which I did from goodwill at the high price of $1.00. The animal print heels were added for fun because I love my shoes.  I say you can have as many pairs of fun shoes as you want if you pay just $2.50 for nine west shoes.

I think I will look great and feel even better knowing I spent under $20.00 to look amazing! I love a good deal it just makes you look better.

What do you think? Hot or not?
