You guys, Chic on the Cheap is going to eight next month, and it was long overdue for a little makeover. With a little help from a template I got on Etsy for $6, and a TON of help from Meg who spent her Sunday afternoon helping me tweak the code, create a new header, and getting it to look all shiny and new; I present the new and improved Chic on the Cheap!

  7. I love the new look of your site! Sometimes, a refresh is just what you need and your space really is looking refreshed and better than ever. I love that you're wearing a black and white outfit in these photos that matches the new layout, and that Meg is wearing one that's so similar, but totally different from yours all at the same time. That is truly masterful styling!
