Fab Five - Portrait Magazine, March 2010 Issue

March Fab Five
By Melissa (Age 25, USA)

I love reading fashion magazines but one of the things I hate is how when they put together outfits, it usually costs several hundred dollars. Money I don’t have. Even the supposed “cheap” outfits are too expensive for most people. Plus it tends to create one outfit and that’s it. I can’t really do much a floral print dress, even if I wish it was actually versatile. So for this article, we take 5 articles of clothing and show you five different outfits created out of those five pieces of clothing. The entire cost is $150. I use accessories through some of the outfits and include those separately from the clothing pieces. Even those though don’t cost more than $50 total. All Accessories are from Forever 21 to make it easy for you to shop.

This month’s Fab Five consist of a blue floral print dress from American Eagle, a red cuffed cardigan and a gray turtleneck from Forever 21, brown slouchy boots from target.com, and Keds heels in red. You can get keds shoes dyed specifically to your taste so I would recommend a bit darker red than the ones in the picture.
