Top 5 Fashion Finds Under $15!

It's February, the month of love! Flowers, chocolates and cards, oh my! But ya know what I love even more? No? Getting a steal, of course! I did a little research for stores in our area and I scouted out my Top 5 Fashion Finds under $15 (not to mention a knack for alliteration).

Of course I found the deals in my usual saving spots: Forever 21, , and a new one, . They are all, in fact, under $15 before sales tax. I tried to stay as far below the $15 mark as possible but some are right up against it—don't worry! They're worth it.

Let's start with the basics. Can't do without just one more cami to go under your favorite cardi? Or maybe a good pair of slim-cut jeans to pair with boots or cuff with some cute flats? Get 'em cheap!

Basic Cami (Forever21): This cami is irresistible with the subtle v-neck and comfy stretch material, not to mention the array of colors and the fact that it will only cost you...wait for it... $2.80. I know. Kinda crazy for such a super easy staple in your closet. You can find it at your local Forever21 store (I already got one).

Simple Skinny Jeans (Forever21): You can never have enough pairs of jeans, right? Well let's just pretend that's true (for my sake). You can't deny, though, that it's a wardrobe must. If you're low on cash, you can't always add to your denim stash. But no more! Forever21 comes to the rescue yet again, if you're in need of a jean fix. They hold a spot on our list with two styles of jeans for $10.50! And they last! I've had mine for a few years already! (**Tip: If/when your jeans lose color, get some washer-friendly dye and re-dye them to get the color fresh and dark again! I recommend "iDye"--buy it cheap here)

"Perforated" Handbag (Target): Now I couldn't complete this list without a deal from the clearance section! That just means that you might have to jump on this before it disappears! This handbag has a unique texture and is a neutral, to go with a ton of your other wallet-friendly items. This one hits at the top of our limit, but for a handbag, $14.98 ain't bad! Just goes to show, checking the clearance section can pay off!

Navy & White Striped Scarf (Walmart): Get a jump on spring with this classic accessory in a hot trend for the upcoming season! The nautical look is back with simple silhouettes, clean lines and of course navy stripes! This is super soft and super stylish when paired with your (maybe new) jeans and (maybe new) cami and simple cardigan or blazer! Grab this scarf for—gasp—$7.00! But why waste gas to get out to the store? Walmart will ship it to you for a minuscule $0.97! With tax, it brings it to just over eight bucks. Whoa. (I actually just bought it. While writing this. Whoops.)

Leopard Print Dress (Sears): This little strapless number will have you purring about the ever-popular animal print trend. The best part? You'll be purring about the price too! This hits the top of our price cap at $15 even. Wanna transition for work? Throw on a blazer and cover up with some black opaque tights! Don’t forget the boot(ie)s or cubicle stompin’ heels!

Remember, you deal-grabbers, you! Always check return policies (some will only give you store credit) and if it's on clearance, check for imperfections. And always, the best way to save money is: if it isn't something you can't live without, don't get it! You don't wanna get something just because it's inexpensive—love your wardrobe and have a place for every purchase!
