Cheap JAP Challenge: Charlotte Russe
During my stay in South Jersey, I explored some choice, trashtastic stores at the local mall and discovered Charlotte Russe. Charlotte Russe is kind of like Forever 21’s naughty little sister; 75% of the stuff isn’t just slutty; it’s made from stiff, icky material, and made poorly at that - most of the zippers catch mid-zip, most of the buttons are already loose. But this is a Cheap JAP challenge, goddammit, and we’ve got to find something that doesn’t look like it belongs in Jersey!
As it happens, I found a few relatively decent items at very decent prices. The waistline of the sheer, black button-down shirt makes it uber flattering, and the sleeves, material and color make it a $20 way of experimenting with that neo-goth trend that’s like, soooo In for Fall omg.
The mod Colorblock and oh-so-Autumn Houndstooth dresses are $28.99 each (ditch the belt on the Houndstooth fyi - it’s pleather in the worst way - and add your own instead). The Buffalo Plaid top is $19.99, if you wanna jump on the celebrity trendwagon.

Ahem, I’ll overlook the Jersey hate because I like your blog but don’t think of crossing me in an alley with that ‘tude.
