Hi Friends! Burlington Coat Factory contacted me about participating in a holiday style challenge. As a girl on a budget, I am quite familiar with the store.  They provided me with a $100 gift card to create a holiday look and also gave me a second $100 giftcard to raffle to you lovely readers!

I went to a nearby Burlington in Maryland and perused the store for my items. I was a little nervous about finding shoes that fit me but I managed to find a pair in my size. I basically built my outfit around my shoes and came up with a New Year’s eve look. The skirt is a bit shorter than what I’d normally wear, but overall, I like the look. I had my heart set on adding a topper of some sort to my look, but didn’t see one that worked with the pieces I picked. 

The cost break breakdown is below.

I’ve already made my love of wearing dresses known on this blog, so I was very excited when Shabby Apple contacted me and asked if I’d like to give away a dress to my readers!  Shabby Apple is an awesome online store that I’ve admired for a while that offers a variety of women’s dresses, girls dresses, maternity dresses, jewelry, shoes, among other items.  Their vintage inspired dresses and skirts can take you on a variety of occasions this summer from a Roman Holiday inspired European vacation to a cook-out in your own back yard.

Here are just a few of the lovely dresses that Shabby Apple offers:

Shabby Apple is also offering my readers a 10% discount with the code:  smallbudget10off for the next 30 days!
