Last Chance Series

Hey guys. So if you've looked at my Instagram this week, you obviously know that I went to Arizona for Thanksgiving this year. Woo! Anyways, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break and that you were able to spend it with some of your loved ones. Me, I spent Thanksgiving with my boyfriends family in Arizona, so it was really nice catching up with all of his amazing family members! (love you guys!). Amongst all the Thanksgiving festivities, I was able to go to one of my FAVORITE places in Arizona, Last Chance. Last Chance is basically all of the product that is in Nordstrom full-line stores, but at a SUPER discounted price, and by super discounted, I mean like, 85% off of the original price of the item, sometimes even 90% to 95% off. In any case, you could say that it is basically an adult shopping playground for those who love fashion, and those who LOVE a great discount, aka me.

So, of course, at any super discounted place, thrift store, etc, the merchandise is not always displayed in an orderly fashion, therefore, we are required to pick our battles in certain areas of the store, aka, the areas of clothing/shoes that we want to go through to find those gems. At Last Chance, I ALWAYS go through the shoes first. Luckily, Last Chance does tend to keep their shoes in a kind of orderly fashion. I mean, their shoes are always sized at least. This makes it super easy for me to scan through those size 5.5-6.5 shoes. (yes, my feet stopped growing at age 10, I have tiny feet). Anyway, I always choose this section because, out of all of the times I've bought shoes from Last Chance, I have never paid more than $10-$15 for DESIGNER/ NAME-BRAND shoes. What this basically means is that I am paying LESS for QUALITY shoes at Last Chance, than I am paying for POOR quality shoes from Forever 21, (still love you F21, you have awesome clothes).

Now that I have boasted about Last Chance, aka my favorite place in the universe, I will finally show you the pieces that I picked up over this Thanksgiving break.

The first segment of pictures features my new black Dr. Martens. I picked up these boots from Last Chance for $15 (before tax). YES, FIFTEEN DOLLARS. These boots retail online, you can check if you want, for $125, and I got them for $15; to say I was stoked to find these would be an understatement. For this look, I paired them with a cozy sweater, and my favorite faux cheetah print coat. To keep my casual "grunge" look alive, I threw on my 505 Levi's for comfort, and chucked on my lieutenant cap for style.

This second look features these amazing metallic TopShop booties. These boots retail online for $60, yes, they are still online. From Last Chance, I bought these booties for $9, NINE. FREAKIN'. DOLLARS. I mean seriously, where else can you get current TopShop booties for $9?! Anyways, since these booties are this awesome metallic color, I decided to keep them the focus of the outfit, and keep every other piece of this outfit neutral. With them, I paired my cropped Forever 21 black cotton ribbed pants, with a sheer, black, open front slip, and my trusty black jean jacket. Of course, it would not be a "Victoria" outfit without a wide-brimmed fedora for style.

Finally, this last outfit does not feature shoes, but pants. Again, if you have seen my Instagram page lately, you have already seen these pants, but I thought that it would still be worth it to feature these pants on this blog because they were FIVE DOLLARS. Yes, these white TopShop pants were $5 everyone. I can't find these exact jeans online anymore, but white jeans at TopShop range anywhere from $65-$110. These jeans are so comfy and so easy to style. For this blog post, since white jeans/pants give me a more "dressy" vibe, I styled them with this casual mens button-down shirt, and my black American Eagle clogs. I then topped this cool, casual outfit off with my cutie neck-scarf, and my tan, wide-brimmed hat from Nordstrom.

xoxo,
