Who's that girl? It's Jess!

So I am in love with the show new girl and suggest you all watch it! I love zooey deschanel and her style and how adorkable Jess is. Yes, adorkable. If you watch the show you will soon realize why she's adorkable.
The show gives Jess's wardrobe alot from modcloth. Which is unfortunate because I love modcloth but cannot afford it on my teen budget, and seeing it on tv makes me want the dresses and cute shoes more.
But yeah this is just a little something that made me think of Jess so enjoy!

Lace, Beads, and Tights

So, first fall outfit of the year, and also a style I will be wearing a lot this fall and winter: tights and shorts. For fall it doesn't matter what thickness tights you wear because it is still kinda warm. For winter I go for the thicker nylon tights or woolish ones.

I love these shorts! I found them at T.J. Maxx and when I first picked them up I was worried they might look a little trashy. But I always say to try everything on and take your time in the dressing room. Just because it fits, does not mean move onto the next thing. Move around in it. Is it comfy? Itchy? Too short? Too long? Are the colors/patterns good? Will you be able to wear it with alot? I spend an hour in a store and about 50 minutes of it in the dressing room, but I love every piece of clothing I buy and it guarantees that I will wear it. It WILL NOT sit in my closet.

So anyway, they fit perfect and were alot longer than I thought they would be so I got them! I have had the shirt for a long time and it is kinda falling apart where the beads were but hey I have had it for about three years and it was about $4 at Marshall's so I'm not complaining. 

I also love patterned tights. I have the standard, plain, navy brown and black tights for versatility but I also have brown and black patterned tights. I think they give an outfit that extra something if the pieces are plain. I don't use them that much because I tend to buy things with little patterns on them but I thought it looked good with these pieces. And I don't consider lace a pattern if a dark color on a dark color. I have a purple dress with white lace overlay and that I consider because it is making the statement and the patterned tights are not needed. 

So, I  cannot wait for fall! Don't be afraid to leave comments, suggestions or questions below or on my instagram: prettyaffordablefashion! Good luck in your fashion adventures!

First Day

Okay so I realize that I have been back in school for about three weeks now, but I have to catch up with my posts so yay First Day of School outfit!

So I love this dress because it just fits me awesome everywhere, but it is a little bit shorter than I like but I can deal. Especially since I am going to be wearing tights soon with the chilly fall weather coming in. I also love the color of the dress and I feel like the collar brings attention to my new hair do! So if you haven't been following me on instagram, you would be just finding out that I cut my hair. (I realize the second to last post I wrote I had my hair cut but I'm laying down and you can't really tell) I had been thinking of cutting my hair for a while and when I found out my salon takes Locks of Love donations, I thought it was now or never. So I went in about two or three weeks ago and decided to chop off the hair I had been growing out since the horrible haircut of '03. (My second grade self decided I would look good with my very curly hair cut up to my ears. I didn't...) So I was a little worried about cutting my hair short again because of that elementary disaster, but I am not particularly attached to my hair like some girls just because mine grows so fast. I knew that if I didn't like it I could have it long again in a little less than a year. So, after my hairdresser asking me about ten times if I was ready and "Are you sure? Please don't go into shock when I cut it like other girls" I told her to snip away! And no, I didn't go into shock. I liked it. And still do. Especially the way my curls look now without all the weight on them I kind of have that 30s flapper look going on. And I love it :)

So tell me, have you ever wanted to cut your hair but were too afraid, or you did and you loved or hated it!? I wanna know! Comment with your stories below and again tell me what you like and don't like what I do, it's the only way I can make you guys enjoy the blog more! If you need any advice I'm happy to give it and good luck in your fashion adventures!

Let It Be

So today I'm wearing my trusty polka dot skirt. I couldn't tell you how many times I've worn that skirt in the short time since I had bought it. Hey, what can I say, I love my polka dots! Also this skirt I'm pretty sure is supposed to be worn around the hips, but I just slapped on a safety pin in the back and pulled it up around my waist so it created a better shape for my body. I also have on my awesome tee with The Beatles in a 4 tile set up that was their album cover for the last studio album titled Let It Be. I love this t shirt for not only what is on it, but the way it fits and feels. It's a light weight cotton so I don't get hot when I wear during the summer even though it has mid length sleeves. It has black sleeves and a white body so it has a certain illusion to it. It also has the awesome worn-in feeling that makes you want to wear it more and more. My denim jacket, as you can see, did not last long on with the heat!

Please ignore my face, it's a good picture for the outfit and I need to learn how to not talk during these...
