Swedish label, Cheap Monday started off as a thrift clothing store, and one thing led to another, and now they have just released their Fall 2009 line.
This is grunge couture at its finest. With lots of plaid and over-sized shirts in combination with cute minis and floral prints, Cheap Monday has turned their signature style into the trendiest of fashions.
And, of course, we cannot forget about their jeans! Cheap Monday’s ripped jeans are a perfect match to their plaid hoodies.
But the greatest thing about Cheap Monday is their price tags. Living up to their name, this inexpensive clothing brand can style up anyone’s wardrobe on a tight budget.
