“Champagne taste on a beer budget!”  This is Brandi’s new motto.  This little phrase sums up Brandi’s beliefs for shopping on a budget.  This week Brandi shares tips on how to maintain a stylish wardrobe without breaking the bank.  Featured this week are two outfits that reflect Brandi’s new found saying.

For high-end name brands, Brandi suggests purchasing these items on sale.  Pictured are her Kate Spade sling backs she found on sale.  They are a great accessory for this Light Pink dress by Double Zero.

For an elegant touch, she carries this felt clutch made by a local artist.  A “Must-Have” for this week.

What should you splurge on?  This is a question many of us ask ourselves when buying items for our wardrobe.  Brandi suggests that some pieces in your closet are classic pieces.  Those are the splurges.  These are pieces that will transition from season to season, year to year.

The fun, stylish pieces are the “Throw and Go” items.  These are pieces that don’t cost an arm and a leg and will be ideal to throw on and go.  They add dimension, color and POP to your wardrobe.

Featured above is this Gold Foil dress from Knitted Dove.  Brandi accessorizes this dress with a pair of Edge of Urge Long Drop earrings.

To complete the look Brandi pairs this dress with this perfect summer sandal from Eric Michael   Available for pre-order!
