Well hello there! I’m Grace from Money Smart Fashion. As you may know Andrea is off this week to enjoy a cruise (lucky!) and she’s asked myself and a few other bloggers to hold down the fort while she’s gone. So don’t you try any funny business.
When Andrea asked me to guest post for her I was incredibly excited, and instantly panicked. The first thought that came to my mind was ” what the hell am I going to wear?” You see, back on the first of the year I decided to give up shopping until my last credit card was paid off in March. This little challenge put the kibosh on the possibility buying something new. I racked my brain for quite some time before I remembered this little gem that I picked up just before Christmas. I’m not really a dress person, but this baby spoke to me. It may be a few sizes too big, but it was $3. Yes you read that right $3 dollars. How could I refuse? Clearly, if I could refuse it or anything clothing-related, I probably wouldn’t even have credit card debt. But I digress…
I don’t normally plan my outfits in advance, but I knew that I wanted to wear something that spoke to Andrea’s style. Andrea has a knack for taking something girly and giving it some edge, which is exactly what I love about her, that and she is a Michigan State Spartan (Go Green). Therefore, this outfit was a no brainer.
So what do you think? Is it a little “Andrea-esque”? You can be honest. I’m still trying to figure out how to wear dresses.

You are totally rocking the edgy yet feminine thing. I'm also really jealous that you're pulling off that hat. I certainly can not!
