How to make an eight dollar dress look like a million bucks

So this is my first blog and I'm really nervous. I have been wanting to start one for so long now and I never had the courage to do it. So here goes nothin' (well not really because I'm gonna write something).

To start off I'm going to share a little about myself. I was born and raised in the sweet peach state (Georgia if you didn't know that we are the peach state). I just finished school for esthetics. Many people don't know what that is so I usually tell them I'm a skin therapist. I have a true obsession with makeup and fashion. The only thing I love more is a deal. I live to save money so my favorite places to shop is TJMAXX, Marshals and Ross. Why spend retail if you can get it or half price. I also love to cook so some of these blogs will have recipes to. But enough about me its time for the good stuff.....Clothing!!!!!!

Today I went to Ross and found the cutest black dress for $8....yes 8 big ones. It by the company Vibe. Its got caped sleeves and its got a skater skirt. I'm in love with dresses they are so simple but yet so easy to dress up or down. So I did four different looks using the dress and some stuff I had in my closet. A lot of the things I paired it with I've had for a long time so you might not be able to find the exact same stuff but I'm pretty sure it wont be hard to find something along these lines.

The pictures I'm going to post aren't that great but I am planning to get a better camera (hopefully on sale lol).

 Look 1: Casual day. Beige cardigan with lace detail and some low top sneakers.

 Look 2: Rebel. Combat boots and a cutoff sleeved jean jacket with a little lace detail and a scarf that has skulls.

Look 3: Date Night. Textured stockings, black booties and a pop of blue just to jazz it up.Look 4: Fun in the sun. Black sandals and a pink belt for fun.

 Thanks for reading!!!!! -Jessica
