A Kmart shopper looking to expand her summer wardrobe created three outfits for under $100.
Louisa, a Canadian expat currently living in Sydney, challenged herself to stick to a budget without compromising on style.
“Everyone has been saying that Kmart is killing fashion, so I went to the store to take a look for myself,” she said in a video.
In total, she bought five pieces: a $20 linen-blend shirt, $18 shorts, a $15 blue linen-blend sleeveless top and matching $25 maxi skirt, and a $25 sleeveless dress.
The first outfit was inspired by trends seen on the streets of Bondi. Louisa paired the long sleeve linen blend shirt and soft culotte shorts over a bikini set.
For the second look, she wanted to create a comfortable and elegant brunch ensemble and opted for the linen-blend bow-front sleeveless top and matching linen-blend maxi skirt.
Lastly, she was specifically looking for a mini dress to wear with boots and chose the Floral Sleeveless Square Neck Mini Dress.
The last two looks can also be combined with a jacket and worn to work if desired.
