Couture Challenge: Casual Date Night Under $80

It's time for the March Couture du Jour Challenge! If you missed the debut of this new contest last month, here are the details… Each month I'll be picking a different item or theme to create an outfit around and will then post the entries I receive for a vote. Crowd favorite wins jewelry from my shop!

This month's theme is Casual Date Night Under $80. What I'm looking for is either a top, bottom, shoes and one accessory OR a dress, shoes and one accessory (or two if you have extra dollars!). At least one of your items must be handmade or vintage and all your pieces together must total $80 or less. Below are two examples I put together:

Bekett Slingback Payless $22.99

Tiered Denim Skirt Old Navy $15

Select your pieces and email the title of the items, where they are from and links to the items to couture@lillyella.com. Please enter March Couture Challenge in the subject line. One entry per person.

The winner of the vote will receive their choice of my Springtime Sparrow Necklace, Blossom Cluster Necklace or Pickin' Wildflowers Locket Necklace.

You have until next Monday, March 22 to submit your entry and the voting will begin the next day. This one is a definite challenge - I can't wait to see what you come up with!
