A few weeks ago Vanity Box gave me a $100 budget to create 7 outfits in conjunction with items from my own wardrobe I selected three versatile basics that could be dressed up, down, or even sideways if so desired. Each item was under $35!

Check out the other outfits:

Day 1 – Biker chic with Christian blouse

Day 2 – Cool casual with Mana T

Day 3 – Preppy with London Hearts

Day 4 – Sweet and girly with Mana T

Day 5 – Retro with Christian Blouse

Day 6 – Shirt and Jeans with London Hearts

Day 7 – Summer Layering with Christina blouse

Today’s coordination is with the Mana top in black, for a bargain at only $22!

I wore: headband from Daiso in Japan; Top from Vanitybox; Collar and socks from ASOS.com; Skirt by Hakei; Pumps from Tony Bianco.

If you have been staying tuned to this post series, you’ll have seen my first coordinate with the Mana T. While the previous look was more of a boyfriend/casual look, this one is girly to the max. That’s what’s great about a perfect basic black t-shirt. You can create so many different looks with the right accessories.

So which one do you prefer?

This review is sponsored by Vanity Box (http://vanitybox.com.au). They are based in Australia (yay!), but they ship internationally as well! They are still quite new, having only been around since 2010, but with their amazing products, excellent customer service and super fast shipping, I can tell they are going to be the next big thing. But there’s definitely something special about this retailer that gives them an edge against other more established online stores. Unlike some Asian fashion retailers, Vanity Box doesn’t ‘cattle drive’ their stock. You get a feeling from the effort they put into their well built website and excellent product descriptions that they are passionate about everything they sell. Also I might mention that the store owner is a dear!
