Deals and Details: The overall cost of this outfit seems a lot, but I received all of the rose gold accessories as Christmas gifts, which my husband did a great job finding on sale and using coupons! The peplum top, skinny jeans, and pumps were only $41.98! I don’t consider myself a very trendy person. I try to buy clothing that I will be able to wear for several years and layer so I can wear for more than one season. For me this coral, graphic print peplum was a bit of a risk, but I am glad I bought it. I forgot to get a picture of the back, it has a really cute cut-out in the mid-back! I think it goes well with the mint green skinny jeans, which I love! They are by the same label that made the skinny jeans in this look and this look. When I find something I like, at a great price, I will by the same item in several colors/prints.
This pic is of my husband and me at dinner on my birthday. Thanks to my BFF for taking this picture! I think my rose gold accessories complimented the coral of the peplum top nicely.
I found these adorable wedge pumps at Forever 21 clearanced to $7.99! Yes, I am 31 years-old and I shop at Forever 21! I think you can find great accessories at Forever 21 and try new trends from there before investing in something that you will never wear again.
Hope you had a great Monday! Stay fabulous and be frugal!

I love the peplum top!! I need to shop at your TJ Maxx. The one in my town never has trendy pieces.

Thank you so much! Find out when your TJ Maxx gets their new shipments and maybe you can find something more trendy. I apologize for not replying sooner! Somehow your comment was in my spam folder :-)
I’m inspired by your series of brightly colored skinny jeans! I struggle with colorful pants. The color of these is amazing.
Thank you for your kind words! Try a little color in your wardrobe 😊 you can find great skinny jeans for $20 or less!
