Can you buy an entire outfit for $250?
Can you buy an entire outfit theses days for $250?
That was the challenge set for me by Melbourne Central as part of their Chinese New Year celebrations: could I find an outfit inspired by China?
No vintage, no second hand, all shiny, bright and new. I’ve done challenges in the past, and I suppose it’s sort of what I’m known for here on Lady M: putting together outfits from old, new, designer, indie and low budget retailers.
But, it ain’t easy! I think I may have been into almost every shop along the way, making a mental list and then going back to what were my favs. I did find some great pieces in Sass & Bide and Scanlan & Theodore which I would say at $250 would go onto the ‘investment’ piece list.
However that wasn’t my challenge and a blog post about a single top or shoes is a little bit boring right?!
The Year of the Snake will prove lucky for some with Melbourne Central’s ‘Lucky Shopper’, offering a chance for you to win instant prizes including a $200 Melbourne Central gift card every day.
A ‘Lucky Shopper Treasure Hunt’ will see Melbourne Central shoppers embarking on a journey throughout the centre where they can collect special Chinese New Year retailer gifts along the way.
Weekdays 11th – 28th February – Shot Tower Square – 12pm – 4pm. All the details you need are here.
Lady’s done the hard work for you, now go forth and see if you can better my outfit!

Simply stunning. Favourite outfit of 2013 thus far Lady M.
Hello lady melbourne. I am from Malaysia. Can you suggest to me hidden places in Melbourne which is interesting to visit as i am going to melbourne in April. And also I heard from a friend of mine that i can find floral boots in melbourne. Can you tell me where can i find floral boots with a reasonable price.
Here is my e-mail red_radiant97@yahoo.com
You look very effortless indeed
The outfit is pretty impressive for the $250 challenge. I don’t know how I feel about that cue top for the price though. Regardless, you look hawt, you certainly rose to the challenge and came out looking fab!
Wow..you look amazing..what is the lipcolor you’re wearing?
It’s a NATIO lippy from their winter range last year, the most similar would be ‘Kiss’ from their everyday range: http://natio.com.au/makeup-lips-lipliners/lip-colour
Hope that helps!
