8 Under $20: Delia*s

By Jess T.

Ok, so Delia*s may not seem like the best place to find some threads once you’re out of high school, but if you look in the right places, it’s a wardrobe gold mine. They have some great basics, even better accessories, and a lot of their stuff is trendy on the cheap (especially if you check out their seasonal clearance/sale). There really is a lot to choose from, but here are some of my absolute faves, all for under $20!

Love the feminine lace on this cardi and the ivory means it’ll go with any color.  It can be paired with a cami and jeans, or a simple dress for two totally different looks.

This sweatshirt’s boatneck, stripes and color combo make it a lot more stylin’ than your everyday hoodie and is a great option for those morning-afters when you have no energy to put effort into your look.

Show that you’re down with 2 turntables and a microphone with this tee; it’s one of several under $10 at Delia’s site right now.

The loose fitting v-neck is my wardrobe. It can be thrown on for just about any look. Pair it with a cami underneath for class, leave your chest bare and accessorize with a bib necklace for going out, wear it with sweats, wear it with a high waisted skirt. Sigh. It’s the perfect wardrobe addition.

This dress is perf for a night on the town, but can also be dressed down with a cropped blazer/jacket, a pair of tights and flats.

These mittens are not only adorable, they’re a great way to keep your hands warm in these upcoming colder months, while still maintaining use of your fingers when absolutely necessary (like when you run into an ex and need to text your girls ASAP).

Cords are another great option for keeping warm this winter and the bootcut and low-rise of these makes ‘em modern enough that you won’t feel like you stepped back into the 70′s for the day.

Scarves not only do a body good in the warmth department, they do a wardrobe good as a simple statement piece.  Delia’s has lots of options for all different styles, so pick one out that fits your personal look and rock it with anything from a deep v t-shirt (see, another way to work it!) to a simple black skirt/white shirt combo.

A warm fashionista is a happy fashionista!
