So when life hands you lemons you make lemonade, right? But when life hands you a Mac that doesn't work you sit and cry and wonder what you have done to deserve this.. Makes even more sense, right? Makes perfect sense to me. That’s pretty much what I have done for the past 2 months.Yes, that is why you haven’t seen any new blog post from me for a little while. So, I have came to the conclusion that either 1. Life doesn’t want me blogging or 2. I need a new laptop. I’m gonna go with the second one and start saving my pennies, nickels, and dimes. However, the other day I was super sad because all I wanted to do was blog. And then I had this genius idea that my boyfriend has a laptop and why not use his until I get my situation figured out. I have spent all this time not blogging and being sad when I could have used his this whole time. Ughh. No more ghost Natalie! Now to the good stuff..

Shopping That Is Easy On the Wallet

If you would have asked me in middle school where I shopped I would have said name brand clothing stores only. I was one of those kids that thought I would only be cool if I wore expensive clothes. I’m sorry to my parents and grandparents who always bought me clothes. Times have changed, I have changed.. I don’t like spending a lot of money on clothes because then I starve and bills don’t get paid. Recently I have been trying new stores that have cute clothes for like half the price! Forever 21 So of course I would consider Forever 21 name brand but you can find all kinds of cute clothes for almost nothing! I always wanted to shop there but just looking at the store from the outside was so over whelming, so of course I never went in. Thankfully my good friend Josie, is obsessed with the store and she took me a time or two, and surprisingly it wasn’t as bad as I thought. It takes a little bit to get use too but I love shopping in store and online there! Walmart Okay, so seriously Walmart is killing it. From swimsuits, shoes, dresses, and even active wear clothing, Walmart has it all! There was a time a few years ago when they stepped their game up however, it was kind of expensive for the quality of clothing. But this year they have it all figured out! I have purchased a pair of denim sandals and a cute black dress from Walmart this year and I’m seriously in love. Especially heart the sandals and the fact that I spent under $20 total! Not under $20 each. Score! Family Dollar

I work like 5 doors down from a dollar store and we spend a lot of time down there. Clothes always catch my eye, so why wouldn’t their clothes do the same? Well, they do. If you catch them on a good day they will have just put out all kinds of new stuff, those are my favorite days. But sometimes there might just be one or two new things up, and of course I gotta check them out. For the most part, all the dresses seem to range anywhere from $8-$13 and aren’t cheap material. I am sure it isn’t Gucci material, but its good! I will pay for a cute dress even if I only get a handful of wears out if it!

H&M

Again, another name brand store, but you can find cheap clothes as well! I have bought clothes from there once and I really liked what I got.

I do feel like their sizing is a little weird, so next time I shop there I want to go in store so I can try to figure out my sizes a little better. But again, if you are looking for name brand and less money, H&Ms got you.

I want to know where you shop for less! I am all about trying new places and making my wallet hurt a little less.

Check out some of my purchases from the above stores..
