So the economy is in the crapper, growth is sluggish and inflation is up... so what' s a girl to do? Well, if necessary, take desperate measures! I took a look a Target to find some cool items for very low prices!
Here's a pair of 4" platform slingbacks from Isaac Mizrahi for Target. Faux crocodile in a nice medium brown. Granted, they're not leather, but some people like Natalie Portman don't wear leather! Price: $29.99.
Here'a s cute shift dress also by Isaac Mizrahi for Target. It's made with an eyelet weave, front pockets, boatneck in a pull-on design. It has a pink lining that peeks through the eyelet - personally I don't like pink so I would replace it with a different lining. Price: $39.99.
Here's a Merona Peasant Shirt with Tie Waist. 100% cotton with pintuck detailing in a subtle plaid. I think this would look great with a pencil skirt, 4" heels and a strand of pearls. Price: $17.99.
Here's another cute shirt - Mossimo Black Scoop Neck Top. Made in 100% cotton with banded sleeves and pleating at neck. This looks very versatile, and the loose cut makes is great for summer even though it's black. Price: $17.99
Mixing a few cheap pieces in with your other items is a classic high/low approach. Really, who cares if you're wearing an $18 shirt if you pair it with Seven Jeans, Gucci shoes and a great handbag?? I think we'll all do just fine through the economic doldrums!
