I find this website fabulous because not only are all the T-Shirts affordable, but the style profile also gives individual tips on how to pair your newly purchased Tee to complete a chic put together look. While T-Shirts are so simple, this website shows you how to pair outfits that you may have at home to pull the complete look together.

My personal favorite is the "Hudson Deep V-neck two toned T-Shirt.

This Shirt can easily be paired with a pair of bright toned skinny jeans and simple pumps to dress it up. I am loving this Tee and for $29.99, you cant beat the price! 

OPI Nail Polish for 1/2 the price

In the mist of browsing through the mall for a suit that would fit my petite and short frame, I passed by a Jcpenny Salon.  Interested in some Paul Mitchell hair products that caught my eye from outside the store window, I walked in to take a look. The sales associate approached me and notified me that they had various sales going on including OPI nail polishes buy one get one 50% off.

Although this was not what I was originally going in for, OPI happens to be my favorite nail polish brand so I was THRILLED. The durability the polish holds, gorgeous colors, and smooth brush application makes me the ultimate OPI fanatic. These polishes can run up to $9.00 per polish. Jcpenny Salon however was offering a basket of colors for $4.25 a piece for last seasons colors plus buy one get one 50% off for the new "Tour America" line. On a budget for my suit, I decided I would choose two colors that would work for me and ended up spending $8.50 total on two new fabulous colors to add to my collection.
