PFC 13: Stylish Under $100 at the Lincoln Presidential Library Award

































Today is Ailyn's birthday!  Happy Birthday Ailyn! You are such a special person and wonderful sister. <3


PFC #13 - hosted by Annie of Really Petite: Stylish for under $100: If you can, please break down the price of each piece to your outfit.  The lower the price of the completed outfit- the better! Bonus points if you can put together a completed outfit including shoes and accessories for under $100.


A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to be in Chicago for the Lincoln Leadership Prize. This event honored former Polish President Lech Wałęsa, who helped lead his country to a new era of freedom and became the first democratically elected leader in Polish postwar history. This was a very cool event where President Wałęsa shared his inspiring story of freedom through peaceful, but effective protest. Chicago always hosts the swankiest of events, so I came prepared to this event with a classic LBD.  This goes to show that you can be fashionably and affordably attired for any occasion.



Dress:  Gap also styled here ($50)
Belt:  Loft ($8)
Shoes: Perfect Pumps, Ann Taylor | shop ($36)
Earrings:  Very Audrey JewelMint | shop ($11.99)
Lipstick:  Round Case, Chaos | shop 
Nail Polish:  Frankly I Don't Give A-Dam by OPI | shop 
Grand total: $106 (excluding makeup & nail polish) - Not too bad!

H&M Kelly Green Top






































I'm all about this H&M double-placket kelly green top; I like it so much that I'm even considering purchasing the cream version!  I actually like the relaxed fit, the faux shell finish on the buttons, and how neckline falls (read: no necklace necessary).  Plus this poly-rayon material has the added benefit of never wrinkling.  Win!

Earrings: LOFT
Cardigan: A&F (2002?)
Top: H&M (recent)
Bag: Mini MAC in Natural, Rebecca Minkoff | shop
Skirt: J.Crew (old) | {see here}
Boots: Melissa Button with Extended Calf in Cognac | shop
