$150 Challenge: The Perks of Being a Wallflower

By -
I recently read The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It's been on my "to read" list for a long time because of the title alone. I actually wish I had read it when it came out in 1999. My then 14-year-old self would have identified (minus the abuse and drug use) with loner, Charlie, as we both dreaded entering high school and discovered the power of making friends.

The perks of this outfits are, wallflower or not, you will be able to make quite a colorful statement, and you can buy it all at H&M. Also, the whole looks costs just over $100 so you'll have plenty of money left over to buy the book, tickets to the upcoming movie, popcorn, and all the theater candy you could want.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore .
