Yes I take my own advice!

I decided to take a picture of my favorite outfit that's under $30 and show you how I do it.

The shirt was $7 and actually from the Miley Cyrus collection from Wal-Mart
The shorts were $18 from F21 (that's actually pricey for me but I couldn't pass them up)
The ring was $3 from F21
The belt I've had for years and it's from Target.
I wore mint colored flats that I got from UO years ago

So see it's not that hard to look great and not spend a fortune!
