Cheap Chic

As I mentioned before, I've been in a DIY mode lately--everything from my bedroom to my blog has gotten a face lift. Now (as any true addict might do), I've moved to my next obsession: my wardrobe. If you've ever read my blog before (or met me) you know that I opt for comfort over fashion and I'd rather spend my paycheck on nail polish and magazine subscriptions instead of the latest fad, but recently I've had to eat my words in a big way. Don't get me wrong, I'm still all about comfort and not wasting my hard earned paycheck on frivolous things, but I do have a new desire to update my closet. Maybe it's my new workplace environment that is fully accepting of casual attire (aka I can buy clothes I actually like/would wear anyway and wear it to work) or the fall weather (new fun colors and layers and amazingness), but regardless, I've got the cheap chic fever.

My new obsessions are insanely amazing and make daily fashion look fun even for me (mind you I always opt for comfort and often look at an outfit and go, "Yeah, right. Not on your life.")

J's Everyday Fashion = She takes magazine/runway/celebrity looks and recreates them for commoners like myself from stores like Old Navy, Target, and Gap, and she even links to sites that have similar looks. Seriously, I warn you, you will want to buy most everything she features. My current obsessions are here, here, and here, but you can find the links to individual pieces from outfits easier on her Facebook.

Much like J, this Brooklyn blogger could fill a calendar with daily outfits, and she, too, links to her finds. Unlike J, she mainly puts the outfits together herself/ doesn't always share the exact look she was inspired from, but her outfits and links are equally amazing. Current favs include this, this and this.
