Another Friday, another weekend on the horizon! No complaints here! I’m kicking off a new series here on Girl Wonder Life – sticking with my let’s shop posts, but tailored to all of us girls on a budget. We know who we are, we’ve all been there at one point or another, or we’re there right now. I am totally guilty of the wearing of beautiful handbags, shoes and clothing that is sometimes downright expensive. Shhhh… secret! A lot of my designer pieces have been scored via major sales, vintage or gifted by family (#sofortunate!), but there are times when I want to shop but don’t want to majorly break the bank. So here’s where this series comes in!
This new GOAB series will hopefully set the record straight. Yes, I will still sometimes feature items in my posts that are expensive (and I will try my best to link to similar, not so pricey items)… BUT I will also try to help my sistas out by curating different budget friendly picks within GOAB.
As you can see, this first installment is filled with summer-friendly pieces that clock in at $100 or less! I mean, who can turn down a pair of year-around pyramid stud earrings less than $10?! Totally loving this tassel necklace, just $32, also via Ily Couture. If shopping for clothing within a budget is just too difficult, but you have that urge to shop, pick up some budget friendly makeup items like this Butter London nail polish set or the amazing Urban Decay Naked3 eyeshadow palette.
I’ve already received some suggestions, but let me know what else you would like to see within this new budget-friendly series! I would love to scour the web for you and find non-break-the-bank picks in the coming weeks! xx

    great picks! I’m with you, many of my nicest items have been gifted to me over the years and it’s nice to mix them in with less expensive options.
