As much as I fantasize about fashion, sometimes the difference between what we want and what we can actually afford is vast. Pulling together a totally affordable, chic outfit is an art form; I would argue that doing so deserves more props than any unbudgeted ensemble.
I propositioned you to pull together the ultimate Spring look . . . for under $100. I started you off with this Forever 21 Faux Leather Wallet [1] ($13) because it's uplifting and, well, affordable. Let's see what you all came up with!
Look # 1, created by bvfashion [2], is so versatile [3]. The total cost is $95.78, and many of her picks can be mixed and matched with other looks.
