J's Frugal Finds - Under $30

I hope you guys are having a wonderful day so far! Here are several fabulous finds that I'm craving for under $30. I'm seriously considering ordering that Old Navy swimsuit (despite my intense fear of swimsuit season approaching), I am in love with the chevron pattern! I am also loving the drapey Pure Body tank from Gap - I'm picturing it with some skinny jeans and maybe the sandals shown below as well. Perfect for a comfy Saturday afternoon, don't you think? I can't forget the leopard print umbrella - perfect for making the upcoming April showers as glamorous as possible. As always you can click on any of the images below for more information!

Joie Tibby Sweater

Joie's cowl neck Tibby sweater retailed for $258 at Shopbop before being marked down to $129.

Charlotte Russe has a great option for less with this Deep Cowl Sweater which retails for an affordable $19.50. Click here if you're interested in purchasing.

Christian Louboutin Super Dombasle Cork Platform Sandal

Christian Louboutin's patent leather and cork platforms retail for $595 at Neiman Marcus (in the pink, see below).

Although the platform isn't quite as exaggerated (making them more wearable in my opinion), these Steve Madden platforms will give you a very similar look for a fraction of the price. They retail for $129.95 and also come in two prints.

I put together a similar look, some items you may already own, using items from Free People, Asos, and DSW. Click on any of the images below for more information! (Click here for an alternative sweater option)

Miu Miu Spectator Peep Toe Pumps

Miu Miu's spectator style peep toe pumps retailed for $670 at Net-A-Porter but are no longer available.

Miu Miu at ShopStyle

The color varies but the style is similar (although a smaller platform - which I feel makes them more wearable), making these Steve Madden pumps a good option as a look 4 less. They retail for $59.95 and also come in black. Click on the photo below if you're interested in purchasing.

Rag & Bone Tribeca Leather Shift Dress

Rag & Bone's leather shift dress retails for $925 at Net-A-Porter.

Rag and Bone at ShopStyle

Although it may not seem like much of a steal at $358.60, this Asos leather dress is saving you $566.40 off of the Rag & Bone version. It is a great alternative for less if you're in the market for a leather dress. Click on the photo below if you're interested in purchasing.
