Buy This, Not That - Pink Maxi Skirt

The other night I decided that I had to have a bright pink maxi skirt to recreate the infamous outfit that Erika at Urban Grace Interiors wore.

It donned on me, as my hunt went from her Anthropologie skirt, to one from Reiss, to another from YesStyle, then on to the Gap and, finally Old Navy, that if you really search long and hard enough, you can find almost anything trendy for much cheaper elsewhere.

And since I'm more on an H&M, Forever 21, Target, sale rack and whatever else is inexpensive kind of a budget these days, the search is worth it.

So I might occasionally share some of these finds on the blog - to share with others, and to remember myself. I'm no fashion blogger, and definitely have zero intentions of becoming one, but I definitely like a good deal.

Except on handbags, sunglasses and some shoes. Those, my friends, I will probably always save up to splurge on.

So here's my cheaper version of Erika's outfit that I put together - most likely to make its debut when we're in Cabo in a couple of months...
