I'm not crazy about the outfit but I do like the boots. I own 2 pairs of casual boots. Because I have to wear winter boots for so long the last thing I want to wear is boots in the nice weather.

P/J/gown lounging thingies, are the best!

Which dresses? She said in an interview that she didn't own a lot of dresses so she had to go shopping for the show and borrowed some stuff from friends/girls on the show. The dresses she wore for the press tour were rented via stylista LA, so she only had to pay half price for them and then return them when done with the tour(the stylista LA account said so on a Lauren/Ben instagram.)

The casual pieces she's been wearing on IG (shorts, tops, rompers, etc.), at least the most recent ones since the finale, whenever she tags the company on the picture, I'm pretty sure she was given the items for free. Like, when she was in Indiana with Ben at the mall for the little 500 & cheer competition, she was able to pick out 3 different outfits for the 3 days that they had events that weekend. I think whenever its an event, she either gets free clothes or can borrow clothes or pay half price for clothes. So its a deal no matter what way you look at it.

The Cupcakes and Cashmere romper she wore to little500, the Jen's Pirate Booty kaftan she wore to the Nugget game, even that (ugly) top she wore to iHeart radio event all cost over $100, but what you said makes sense, and I said good for her if she can get them cheap/free.

yeah, free/cheap is always appreciated imo.

It benefits the shops who lend/give the clothes and it benefits Lauren. Win/win IMO. Especially when the show doesn't give them wardrobe/clothing budget, so I'm all for the contestants getting freebies and discount items.
