A simple inexpensive dress goes a long way. I purchased this burgundy dress at forever 21 for just $15.99. The price was the first reason why I bought this dress, and the second reason that sold me was how comfortable it was and the way I could dress it up. The color was perfect for this Sunday and I added nude sandals from Anne Michelle that I purchased at a thrift store for just $12.99. You can find great things at thrift stores if you are patient enough to search for them. I also added little touches of turquoise with my jewelry that I purchased from H&M for under $10. Just that alone made the dress seem like it was worth more. Be inventive; just because you cannot afford more expensive brands does not mean your outfit cannot be displayed as if it's worth more
