Emerald dress look for less and a $200 Giveaway!

When I shop, I want to make sure I am getting the best deal for my money. I hunt down expensive pieces like this J.Crew blazer on ebay, where I got it for $30. I take advantage of coupon codes which I used on top of a sale price to get this emerald shirt dress for a steal from Piperlime, and I search for inexpensive pieces like this leopard clutch I purchased from the Gap for $35 which looks like the pricy Clair Viver clutch.

Even with my best thrifty efforts, sometimes it's easy to get carried away and go over budget, which is when a prepaid debt card like H&R Block's new Emerald Prepaid Debit Mastercard would be a big help. It has all the great benefits of a credit card and a debit card, with features like instant cash reward offers, ATM cash withdrawal and cash back with a purchase. Because the Emerald Card is prepaid, you can't spend more then you have - its like cash but better, as you can make purchases both online and in stores, plus you are protected against theft and fraud.

To help everyone be a more savvy shopper, I've teamed up with H&R Block, and I'm showing you how you can put together a look with a stunning emerald dress like mine for under $150, then offering you a chance to win a $200 prepaid Emerald Card of your own! Just leave a comment sharing what you'll spend the Emerald Card on, or any budget fashion tips you have, then enter with the rafflecopter below.
