The Frugality is 1, Happy Birthday!

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman

The Frugality is a year old today! Can you believe it, how time flies?!

 

The-Frugality is one
Grey wooly hat: from Stockholm, checked mid length coat: Zara, grey print T-shirt: Markus Lupfer, black leather Skirt: Topshop, black ankle boots: Topshop, small cross body bag: Jimmy Choo
 
Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this year, it really has been overwhelming and such a rewarding experience.

I’m celebrating the day with this giant silver helium balloon and some new wardrobe additions. My Markus Lupfer t-shirt I got for Christmas:

You look really good today - the-Frugality

I’ve teamed the t-shirt with my new Topshop faux leather quilted skirt (which I’m currently wearing all the time):

And as it’s new year for The Frugality, I’ve brought out my finest sparkle. Remember the Jimmy Choo candy clutch? Well I saw it at a sample sale and as I’ve always lusted after it, I decided it was time to invest. And I love it. I teamed my celebration outfit with an OTT Swarovski cuff bracelet. It is a special occasion after all!

    I know I've said it already, but Happy Bloggy-Birthday Alex! I'm so thankful you started this blog; you're oe of my absolute favourites and you always give the most wonderful, 'real' advice!

    P.S. I LOVE this outfit on you! May I ask if this Zara coat is from this season (I've been hunting for one just like it for 3 years) and if you know if the Markus Lupfer shirt is available with the blue sequins (I can only find pink on ASOS) anywhere?
