About Florida's Bargain Queen, Meg
I'm in my mid-20's and working on updating my own look from college casual to urban professional without loosing what makes my style personal - or sweating to death in the Florida heat.
I don't have a lot of money to spend, but I've learned the value of making a great impression with the help of a fabulous outfit. That's why I believe in building a versatile wardrobe full of quality pieces that are both classy and fun.
I'm excited to be able to share what I've learned along the way and I hope you enjoy my posts here on looking fabulous for less. For more information on my personal transformation, saving money, and making good impressions, check out my personal blog, All About Appearances.

What’s not to love about OPI’s fall nail polish collection, La Collection de France?
Both Louvre Me Louvre Me Not and Parlez-Vous OPI will go great with all those fantastic shades of purple and gray that are packing the racks this year, the first polish being a rich royal purple and the latter a fashion-forward, smoky violet. And Eiffel For This Color is a deep, shimmering wine that takes sultry red to the next je ne sais quoi.
Fortunately, you don’t have to choose between these great colors. You can get mini versions of all three along with a mini bottle of RapiDry Top Coat in this one collection for just $9.95! It ships internationally, too!

While I already extolled the virtues of vests earlier this week, this Marciano Lillian vest is just too fabulous for me to pass over — especially since it’s now 77% off!
It’s an ultra feminine twist on the vest that would look stunning whether worn over a print blouse or matching white top. Either way it’ll help highlight your sexy curves while streamlining your silhouette.
It’s now only $26.97, down from $118!

Yes, I’m still a big fan of denim skirts and for good reason. A dark, knee-length denim skirt like this one from Jeanstar is great for those times when you want to dress up a bit without feeling overdressed.
This versatile skirt is now $29.99 and eligible for Amazon’s Super Save Shipping.
Sizes 4-16 are available in the dark rinse featured above as well as a lighter rinse.

I’m thrilled to see so many great vests this season. Sure, we’ve all seen some awful vests out there over the years, but this season’s version is shorter and form-fitting. It’s a feminine, figure-flattering style that can really look hot on us gals with curves.
Not only will it give you new, sexy options for styling old tops, but it’s also a way to get some more life out of tops that have… um… shrunk a bit around the mid-section. That’s what makes it a great bargain, if you ask me.
At just $39.50, this Guess Valentina vest is my pick for a vest that will still look great after regular wear and changing trends.
