#COUNTDOWN!!!
Full-cost items from boho-Italian fashion house Marni tend to run as much as airfare to Rome (i.e., $1,500 print dresses, $350 wallets). But on March 8, the line priced for principessas takes aim at mortals via a cheap(er) chic collaboration with H&M. Styles available at the Metro Center store (1025 F St. NW) include Africa-gone-abstract print blouses (shown, $80); funky, floral necklaces ($50, shown); and spotted jackets and dresses. Still, get there early — these dolce deals won’t last.

If you live in the DC area you MUST be here!!! Thank you for all of your support!
The Average Girl does not necessarily mean plain….it just means we live a real day to day life but we like to look the part and be fashionable. My whole life has been developed around bargaining in many aspects, I get that trait from my mom. I tend to be lucky with my fashionable yet reasonably priced finds. I do splurge occasionally. They’re some things I just cant let get away. =) To contact me, email me @ fortheaveragegirl@gmail.com
