I will admit my previous posts have fashioned some pretty hefty prices. I’ll tell you now that it is not worth it to spend a million dollars on something because trends go in and out of style as fast as it took you to dress yourself that morning, only to realize that you’re already out of season. Yes, some clothes never go out of style—mainly sweatshirts and sweatpants—but we’ll leave those to the “How to Dress Like a Real Penn Stater!” blog. Anyway, I dedicate this post to clothes on a budget—money that you or me would actually spend. I also thought it’d be neat to put together some outfits instead of throwing up some miscellaneous pieces that you have no idea where to even begin with. I’m sure this will be the most pragmatic post you’ve seen on my blog thus far. Although, I know how equally exciting it is to see a tank top go for $300. Yes, three hundred dollars. Hey, I guess this is why we’re going to college! Dream big! But for now, let’s consider some outfits that can realistically be purchased!

| Hera Gladiator Sandals; $18.80; Forever 21 |

| Pix-elated Dress; $47.99; Modcloth.com |

| Faceted Faux Stone Ring; $4.80; Forever 21 |

| Little Heart Locket Necklace; $1.50; Forever 21 |
Consistent with the current weather, this look is extremely spring! Florals, as usual for the springtime, are in again. The gladiator sandals, whether in or out, I don't even really care. I think they look great on everyone. Also, teal and jade are ultra-flattering and calming colors. One theory you should know that I live by—you can never over-accessorize! Here's another budget-friendly outfit:

Double Button Skinny Jean; $13.50; Forever 21

| Wearable Waves Crop Top; $25; Modcloth.com |
I'm a huge sucker for anything that's blue and white. Break the matchy-matchy with an etched belt or strappy sandal.

Buying a casual romper such as this one in the denim material is useful because you can either dress it up or dress it down. Wearing the romper on its own looks cute for the day, but pairing it with heels and flashy accessories is a perfect going-out outfit for when it gets warmer.
Trust me, your wallet will thank me. Healthy shopping!
I really liked the accessories that you chose this week. I didn't know that Forever 21 sold jewelery for under $5, so thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I LOVE reading your posts! I appreciate the more budget friendly outfits this week and the fact that you put some outfits together. The first outfit you feature is so cute! I can't wait to bust out my sun dresses for spring! What do you think of the stores here in State College? I think Forever 21 could really thrive here--I miss it!
ReplyDeleteRompers=love. I want more! I only have this one I got for like 15 bucks (fitting with the theme of this blog) at target and I might have worn it like 3 times a week. Summer is close approaching and because of this awesome weather I have spring fever. I'm breakin' them out soon EVEN if it snows again. Which will definitely happen.
