Preppy on a Budget

As I had about 12-15 tabs open of items I wanted from Marley Lilly, I narrowed it down to these. See, as I was looking through the prices I was thinking, "ooh! I just got a paycheck I can spend it all on Marley Lilly!!!" WRONG RACHEL. You. Are. Wrong. Luckily, I was smart enough to put my debit card down and proceed on with my day.


I went back on my computer, too soon and came across the idea of searching for these items on Etsy.  Guess what? Well, not a good idea for my debit card but I found all the items I wanted, FOR MUCH CHEAPER! The greatest part about Etsy, in my opinion, is that there are different 'shops' to choose from, that price things different. I put on my thinking cap and searched far and wide to find my cheapest options. 

If you are looking for one, I highly reccomend MEEsDesigns. I placed my order and received it within 5 days. But want to know the best part? $2.90, including shipping. WOO. Count me in. It's been on my phone for a little under a week now and I've received so many compliments. Even my dad thinks it's the bee's knees.
Best picture I could take, sorry! ...But it fits perfectly!

Ever want to monogram your car? Because I sure did. I was SO excited when I received this in the mail! I knew I would love it from the start. I got it within a week and as soon as I picked it up from my mailbox, it went onto my car. No hesitations. Only $5.95, too!

Other items I ordered but have not received yet!
-Monogram Pullover & WindBreaker. Currently on their way but I luckily was able to save a few bucks here and there by not buying from Marley Lilly. There is nothing wrong with their products, but being on a budget makes it harder to buy from them!

What are your favorite monogram items?
Look out for a DIY post on friday!

  1. I can't believe I'm just now getting around to reading your blog! I noticed you followed my blog, so it's safe to say I checked out yours too (aka read almost every post) and I'm following along now!
    I love that you found cheaper options to Marley Lilly products! Also, congrats on your 1 year with your boyfriend. That's so precious and great that you guys made it through long distance and all. I just met my boyfriend at the beginning of this past semester and this summer is our first time away from each other (for more than just a week)! It's definitely tough and I've definitely come to hate it. Haha! Luckily, I'm visiting him this weekend and am so so so excited. Anyways, just wanted to tell you I love your blog and how easy it is to relate to you! And that you and your boyfriend are too cute! (;
