I forgot to sign up...oops. But I am in Annie. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit, and just under the $100 mark. Well done!
Neutrals are always a good way to go. :) And the outfit looks super expensive too! I love it!!
ReplyDeletei totally should have used gifts, didnt even think of that!! you always look perfect :) i wish i felt that comfortable in skirts and blouses!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great challenge...Wow you look great great great!! That blouse is a must have!
ReplyDeleteI was afraid to use gifts since it would completely increase the price. Besides, it's more of a challenge to put together outfits with items you bought yourself.
ReplyDeleteWow, you did really good job! You look really chic and professional!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Annie! It was definitely a bigger challenge than I originally though. BTW, Love the outfits by Ji-Hye! I can't believe she created 3 outfits for this challenge.
ReplyDeletePink and pearls - always a can't-go-wrong professional outfit! And $30 Theory skirt is such a steal! Love the blazer too, how do I always miss these things at H&M?
ReplyDeleteLet Ji-Hye know that I love her outfits and she should start her own blog soon! :)
Thanks for hosting Annie!!
I still can't believe you scored that Theory skirt for $30. Great job, Annie and thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYou look so luxury! I can't believe the price of your skirt and belt. I want those !!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeletelove your outfit! it looks so expensive and i'm quite surprised that everything is under $100. i also like the colors and the textures of each piece.
ReplyDeleteImpressed that you could do a full look (with a jacket no less) for under $100! Thank you for hosting! I'm always on a hunt for a good deal and this challenge really appealed to me :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great, Annie! Thank you so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteReally like your blazer. Makes the outfit so professional!
ReplyDeleteWow. You did a great job on a putting together a outfit for under $100. Love the outfits by Ji-Hye. She did an awesome job.
ReplyDeletelove the under $100 pfc idea, but i think including gift items and excluding shoes
ReplyDeleteand bags should not count. Rather the entire outfit should be under $100.
Great job as usual and thanks for hosting!! I love that you included a look from one of your readers too! Great idea!!

What is your criteria for "professional"?
ReplyDeleteIn my field, all the skirts shown are too short to be considered professional. At the knee is acceptable, a TINY bit above the knee if you are more daring. This would be for a professional corporate environment.
Thanks for hosting Annie :) This was my second PFC and enjoyed it :)

when did u get this shirt? i haven't seen it til now!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea - and I love the look you put together...very impressive!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Annie! Shoes are such a killer when it comes to budgeting, isn't it? ;)
ReplyDeleteJi-Hye, your outfits have got to take the cake on professional outfit on a budget. Well done!
I figured that it would be much too difficult for everyone to do an entire outfit including shoes and accessories for under $100. That's why I opted for bonus points if you can do that.
ReplyDeleteMy criteria of professional may be different than others. It all depends on where you work and the type of environment. I agree that most skirts I wear may not be suitable for other's but I own my own business so I can wear what I want. I think being petite, you can get a way with shorter skirts and still look professional.
ReplyDeleteI got it months ago but forgot about it until now...do you like it? lol It actually is much cuter than I remember :D
ReplyDeleteWow Annie, great job! and Holy cow Ji-Hye did amazing! THREE outfits?!?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great look! And I love how you put your prices in the layout. My goal this summer is to learn photoshop-- I'm so behind the times! Thanks asain for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI love the neutral colours in your outfit, Annie!
ReplyDeleteAlso loving Ji-Hye's three outfits! Very creative!
lovely outfit ...wish i had sign up before :(
ReplyDeleteSorry I was a bit late in posting mine. Thanks for including my link anyway, Annie! You did such a great job with your outfit!
ReplyDeleteGreat neutral, Annie. Love it. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteOh, an Ji-Hye's outfits are all adorable. :)
aww I wish I participated. I love your blouse!
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is such a challenge especially if items are from F21.
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about Jie Hye's outfits? Yes her items were from F21 but she still did an amazing job putting together nice and professional outfits for this challenge.
