“Blackbird singing in the dead of nightTake these broken wings and learn to flyAll your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise.” - The Beatles

Poor Little It Girl is a shopping and personal style blog by Cathy Anderson, with a focus on keeping things under $100. My mission is to show that you don’t have to spend a ton of money to find fashionable and quality items to stay stylish! Poor Little It Girl began in the summer of 2010 (as a distraction from a pretty awful long distance relationship that, obviously, did not last) and has since become a perfect representation of who I am: a twenty-eight year old former New York fashion magazine editor turned Washingtonian that wants great clothing that all us “poor” girls can actually afford.
