A Kmart shopper looking to expand her summer wardrobe put together three outfits for under $100.
Louisa, a Canadian expat currently living in Sydney, challenged herself to stick to a budget without compromising on style.
“Everyone says Kmart does it with fashion, so I went to the store to have a look for myself,” she said in a video.
In total, she bought five pieces: a $20 linen-blend shirt, $18 pair of shorts, a $15 sleeveless blue linen-blend top and $25 matching maxi skirt, and a sleeveless dress for value of $25.
The first outfit is inspired by the trends you see on the streets of Bondi. Louisa paired the long-sleeved linen-blend shirt and soft culotte shorts over a bikini.
For the second look, she wanted to create a comfortable, stylish brunch outfit and chose the sleeveless linen mix top with bow at the front and the matching linen mix maxi skirt.
Finally, she was specifically looking for a mini dress to wear with boots and chose the floral sleeveless square neck mini dress.
The last two looks can also be dressed up with a blazer and worn to work if desired.

Louisa bought the outfits earlier this year to wear throughout spring and summer. Each style suited her perfectly and can be dressed up or down for almost any occasion.
Earlier this year Claudia Curacfrom Jervis Bay, N.S.Wwas amazed that she was able to create eleven different outfits by reusing seven basic pieces from Kmart.
The mother of four told FEMAIL she spent just $147 after shopping at the store on September 1.
She bought: a linen blend blazer worth $38, a pair of wide leg ankle pants worth $25, a pair of linen blend pull-on pants worth $15, a sleeveless luxury open back top worth $12, slingback kitten heels worth $22, a white oversized short sleeve boyfriend T-shirt worth $10 and a sleeveless shirt worth $25 Mini dress with V-neck.
The 27-year-old said the neutral pieces are “absolutely to die for” and great for mixing and matching.
“I love repeating outfits, I’m not someone who goes shopping often, I found these pieces and I thought they were such cute staples,” Claudia said in a now viral video.
“I love Kmart and I will say that until the day I die.”
First, she paired the “buttery” soft sleeveless luxe open back top with the “cute” wide leg ankle pants and black kitten heels.
Earlier this year, Claudia Curac, from Jervis Bay, NSW, was amazed that she could create eleven different outfits by repurposing seven affordable basics from Kmart Australia.

Claudia said the look is comfortable to wear to work and to school for pick-up or drop-off. The blue top is also the favorite garment of the entire crop.
‘It’s so flattering and the fabric is incredibly soft! The quality for the price is great,” she told FEMAIL.
To add even more style, she threw on the lightweight linen blazer on top.
She then swapped the long pants for the brown shorts for two more looks and then put on the white T-shirt.
Finally, she tried on the sleeveless V-neck mini dress and paired it with the blazer. Then she realized that the dress is thin enough to tuck into the pants for another option.
