absolootely: under 50 challenge

I'm procrastinating studying for my exams, so thought I'd revisit the ol' Absolootely Under $50 Challenge.

There aren't any formal rules for this, except that we do pricing in $US, because it's easier that way. Oh, and it has to be a complete outfit (shoes + top and bottom, or dress, at least). And shipping should included in the prices. And items should be available in multiple sizes.

Have a go, if you think you're up to the challenge! We're over on Polyvore, the best platform for this, so let us know if you've got a 'set' for us and we'll feature it here.
