Last week I headed to Dixie Outlet Mall to hunt for my outfit for the She Who Hunts Finds blogger challenge. I had a great time shopping for a fall outfit because all of the stores at the mall were starting to bring out some great items for the change in seasons, and I was excited to hunt for some great deals.

By the way, if you are in the mall between August 21st and September 6th, visit the Discover your Wild Side in-mall activation between Laura and Urban Planet to take a photo as your animal!

With a $200 gift card in tow, I shopped for hours picking up things for my blogger challenge outfit, and then obviously I found all kinds of other clothes I just had to have at the mall as well.

 
Along the way I took note of what kind of deals I was getting at the mall, and I needed to make sure I stayed within my $200 budget.

Last week I took the Wild Side quiz at www.DixieWildSide.com which revealed my shopping persona – The Lioness. I also created a mood board which you will see I ended up staying true to.

My first purchase which I centred my whole outfit around were a great pair of booties from Sirens. At only $39.99 they were a great find, plus I signed up for their text alerts to receive another $5 off!

From there I headed to Guess where I picked up a great pair of grey skinny jeans regularly priced $98 for only $35 dollars! It was a great deal, and I love the jeans.

I bought a classic white t-shirt from Bluenotes for only $9.99, but I really needed a few more items to take this outfit into fall.

I love the Winners at Dixie Outlet Mall. There are so many great finds! I found this amazing cozy sweater that fit just right, regularly priced at $99.99 for only $49.00.

The clutch bag was an absolute must. I thought to myself, will this be too much fringe with the booties? And then I thought I couldn’t pass up a faux snakeskin/fringe combo and I headed straight to the check out! The clutch regularly retailed for $75, and I picked it up for $39.99.

To finish off the outfit I went to Claire’s and picked up a long necklace with turquoise accents to compliment the outfit for only $14.25.

Voila – my fall outfit for the She Who Hunts Finds blogger challenge at Dixie Outlet Mall was complete! I really love this outfit. It reflects exactly what my fall style will be – cozy sweaters, great boots, skinny jeans, and lots of fringe!

Actually if I was going to name this outfit, I would totally call it Fifty Shades of Fringe! Ok, is it bad I just named my outfit? Anyway, overall I saved $153.00 by buying this outfit at Dixie Outlet Mall. How amazing is that?

Check the blog next week for the grande finale – a $200 gift card giveaway to Dixie Outlet Mall for one lucky reader!

 
Earlier in the year I had a great time taking part in the She Who Hunts Finds blogger challenge, and now I am lucky enough to take part in another challenge with Dixie Outlet Mall!
 

This time around I have started my shopping adventure by completing the Take the Wild Side Quiz to reveal my shopping persona. You can take your own quiz at www.DixieWildSide.com to reveal what your shopping animal is, and why that animal fits your shopping style.
 

I have to tell you, this was the easiest quiz I have ever taken! The answers were always right there for me (it was all multiple choice), and when I found our my shopping persona was The Lioness I wasn’t all that surprised. The description for The Lioness is: Fiercely fashion forward with an untamed sense of style. You’re proud to take care of shopping for the whole family. It’s not hard to see why everyone knows you’re queen of the jungle.
 

 
Doesn’t that sound just like me? I shop for my husband and son on a pretty consistent basis, and well I’d like to believe I have an untamed sense of style!

Next up – time to go shopping!
 

 
I am heading out in a few days to Dixie Outlet Mall to put together an outfit (or two) for $200 or less, and to put my new title of The Lioness to the test.

I’m going to be looking for something to take me into fall, so I’ve created a fall mood board to inspire me before my shop.

Would you like your chance to shop at Dixie Outlet Mall too? Well, really you can head there anytime (maybe I will see you there this weekend?), but I have a fabulous giveaway coming soon to the blog where you could win a gift card to go shopping! Stay tuned!
