Affordable Festival Fashion

Those of you who have been reading my blog for years know a lot about my upbringing and the fact that I grew up in foster care. While I have many memories from that time in my life—both good and bad—one of the really good memories I have is back to school shopping. Shopping for new clothes wasn’t something we did very often, but much like many other families in America, back to school shopping was a time-honored tradition that could not be taken lightly! What you wore to school that first week MATTERED!

In an effort to make my allotted funds stretch, I always opted to shop for back to school clothes at our local Burlington Coat Factory. Cute clothes at affordable prices…what more could a budget baller ask for?!

So I was super excited when Burlington Stores reached out and wanted to collaborate with me. It was an opportunity to take a walk down memory lane. With Mamby on the Beach right around the corner, I challenged myself—the same way I did back then—to find the perfect outfit for the occasion for less than $100.
