Last FFFC Feature and a Peek at Our Halloween...

Sorry that we haven't been around in a few days.  We had a fun and busy Halloween and finally got our items shipped down to South Florida for our first Holiday Show.

Last week we announced our final Fabulously Frugal Fall Fashion Challenge: The Anything Goes Challenge.

Today we are featuring the one reader who participated in EVERY SINGLE CHALLENGE!





AnhKay, rocked out every challenge using items from her closet and her Anything Goes looks were our FAVORITES!!  You can read more about AnhKay's fantastic fashion sense on Glass Slippers on a Budget and You Know You Want It!

Here's a little peek into Yvette's first Halloween in Richmond:

 Here are my kiddos showing off the trick or treat sacks I made them. Woot!  My son definitely got into the Dracula spirit with his serious expression!

Here is my candy corn witch showing off Mommy's first attempt at making a costume.  Pretty cute, if I do say so myself!

How was your Halloween?  Tell us in the comments!

Fabulously Frugal Fall Fashion Friday #7 (The Final Challenge!)

So here we are at our final challenge!  The Anything Goes Challenge was a chance to show off our go-to fall outfits.  Here are a couple that we came up with:

I resuscitated these super comfortable, and booty-shaping 3-year-old jeans by replacing some missing buttons and trimming off the scraggly threads from stepping on the back of the cuff (you know you have a pair like this!)  I paired it with my favorite button-down top,  flats and threw on a belt to cinch the waist.  Everything in this picture is at least a year old.





I am wearing the same jeans and flats in these photos, but paired with a favorite 3/4 sleeve striped sweater and my go-to scarf. (Noticed my hair tie on my right wrist? That's an everyday go-to look for me!) The envelope clutch in the photo is one of our AquaSeventy6 creations. Check our Facebook page for more information.

Since this is our last challenge, we hope you participate! We want to see how you recreate these looks!  You have until Sunday to post a link to your photograph in the comments section of this post or email us the photo using the subject line ANYTHING GOES.  We will feature our favorites on Monday.  If you need a reminder of the rules or details, click here.

Fabulously Frugal Fall Fashion Friday #5

On Monday we posted a few photos of fall fashions from our Pinterest board.  Our challenge (and yours) was to create similar looks using only items we already own or have bought second hand.  So how did we do with the Red Challenge?  You tell us!

Original inspiration:

Our Recreations:
Sorry for the poor photos!  The week got away from us and we took these last night.

I bought this dress years ago at Ross, paired it with my favorite
soft scarf and boots for a floral red look.

You can't tell by this photo, but this is a vintage sweater I found at
Goodwill a couple of weeks ago for $2.50.  I added a black cardigan
I got at Ross last year and my black Ross boots from earlier this year.

This mini-dress/blouse is an H&M brand that I found at Goodwill
a few weeks back for $4.  The black leggings are from many
seasons ago and my black Ross boots.

We want to see how you recreate these looks!  You have until Sunday to post a link to your photograph in the comments section of this post or email us the photo using the subject line RED.  We will feature our favorites on Monday along with the new outfit inspirations for next week's challenge.  If you need a reminder of the rules or details, click here.
