Frugal Friday: Maxi Dresses

After taking a few Fridays off from frugality, I'm back to bringing you budget finds, all for $50 and under.

Today I set out the challenge of finding something with more fabric than most clothing items, thinking the more fabric the more it would cost. Today I tackle budget maxi dresses. It was no easy task, I'll tell you. Most I found were just big cotton tanks essentially, but I did find some, not diamonds, but cubic zirconia in the rough ;)

I think I want a jumpsuit....

I'm kind of sort of obsessed with rompers. I think they're totally adorable. I am, however, fully aware that I do not have the body type that was meant for rompers. So I will just covet from a distance and attempt to make my friends wear them.

But you know what I could pull off? A jumpsuit. Seriously. Belted and with a pair of high heels.

I was on the fence about it, but then I saw Joy Behar in one on The View yesterday and I thought to myself, "If Joy Behar can pull a jumpsuit off, surely I can pull off a jumpsuit." It was budget week on The View and they said the jumpsuit was only $20 from some store called Daffys. Kathy has since informed me that Daffys is a totally gross store where I would probably break into hives and throw up if I ever walked into one. So no Daffys jumpsuit for me.

But wherever shall I get mine? Now that I know they exist for $20, I'm really not willing to drop $200 on the ones I saw at shopbop.com.

Enter this Arden B. jumpsuit. It's the shape I want, it's under $100, and the back is pretty cute. Hmm.... this may be purchased soon but I'm still on the fence.
