I LOVE velvet, so I'm very excited that it is one of the major trends for Fall (I would have worn it anyway ;) ).  Here's a dress for less featuring the awesome fabric.  I decided to turn a skirt and bodysuit into a dress-like thing and then had to add a sweater for some coverage.  This look is a bit severe for every day, but the good thing about all these pieces is that you can mix and match with a ton of other items. (It is also a bit more expensive than my usual Dress for Lesses, its hard to not use Forever 21...but I'm still angry with them)  I also still don't know if I like this...had a bit of a mental block...
Bodysuit - ASOS $20.22
Skirt - ASOS $30.33
Sweater - Alloy $34.90
Tights - ASOS $8.43
Flats - Alloy $24.90
TOTAL: $118.78
Wedge - Alloy $46.90

Yesterday I was a bad girl and I spent $29! My mom asked if I wanted to take a ride to Home Goods with her, and I like any excuse to shop.  While we were there I decided I needed a cute chair and desk for my computer since now I use a TV Dinner Tray and an old icky chair :p  So I'm on the hunt for those...now to the meaning of this post: After Home Goods we decided to take a trip to Marshall's.

I found a ton of cute dresses on clearance & bought this gorgeous dress by Theory!  It retails for $295 & I paid $29, HELLO BARGAIN!  I almost didn't get it, but then I figured if I could just put it on eBay if I changed my mind. Now that I have it home I can't bear to sell it, its adorable! Its a little dressy for where I work, but I'll still wear it a LOT anyway (who cares if they think I'm crazy?)! (there is one on eBay if you're interested, otherwise it isn't available anymore).
Dress: Theory from Marshall's $29
Tights: ? $?
Wedges: Simply Vera $16

Also, I have sadly decided to sell this Max Studio dress I got at the beginning of the summer. I have yet to wear it so I figure that is a bad sign, I like it but it just doesn't fit with my style anymore, haha.  It's brand new with tags and a size Small so make an offer if you are interested, it retails for $98! After a few days I'm going to put it on eBay. Click to make it LOTS bigger.

Here's a Dress for Less request from StylisHedForeVer, she asked, "Can you pls help me find the Birkin bag for much less than it is? I've been on the hunt for the bag for way too long and i hope you can help out." Another challenging one, but here we go, I picked out a couple options; of course none are as awesome as the Birkin.
Birkin Bag - Too gastly to say
Paul's Boutique $92 (just take off the long strap and key-chain thing)
ASOS $60
Oasis $59
Forever 21 $24.80

As you can see, the blog has gotten a bit of a tuneup! I think it looks a lot better, what do you think?

If you check the sidebar you will see that I added a link to the new Closet Fashionista Shop!  You can head over to the shop by going to: http://shop-aclosetfashionista.blogspot.com/  Some of the selection:
I will probably add new stuff soon, for now there are a few skirts, dresses and a pair of boots!

Also in the sidebar I added a counter to see how many days I can go without shopping since I can't spend money.  So let's see how many days I can go without spending money on anything buy gas ;)

And now it is time to get ready to go to the beach with my bffs!
