With the full effect of summer, every self-respecting fashionista needs a wardrobe makeover. Get rid of your coat and gloves and leave your umbrella at home… (or if you are in California like me, keep doing what you are doing… it is at all times summer here!) Summer 2015 is upon us! So rather than spending hours shopping downtown and never having the ability to find anything, I do the shopping for you! Who wants to lose their entire paycheck on clothes when you can get the perfect on-trend pieces for under $100? Check out my top picks that I believe every frugal, fashion-obsessed woman needs in their closet this summer:
Easy T-Shirt Dresses:
This one is a style staple, everybody! This light and simple t-shirt dress can be paired with absolutely anything. Slip on a chambray denim shirt and throw on your white converse and you will have a straightforward shopping or lunch outfit! Slip on a black blazer and strap yourself in some strappy heels and you are ready for that date next week! This dress is really easy and fun and can be paired in so many ways. And at $22, it is an absolute steal and something you will absolutely need in your closet this summer. Buy this look: Jenelle’s dress, Brandy Melville
Statement Crop Tops:
Crochet is a big summer trend this season and one that is really easy to pull off with this fringed crop top. For only $30, this top can easily be the start of a beach-ready boho outfit or can even be paired with black high-waisted jeans and heels for an outing. It’s also perfect for daytime concerts or festivals and you will never get too hot inside. Buy this look: Crochet Plant Tank, Victoria’s Secret
Distressed Denim Jeans:
This wash is the perfect color for summer and distress is a big trend for denim! The thing about this is you can literally pair it with anything and very easily carry it from day to night. Team this with a nice pair of booties and a sheer shirt for a daytime look, then swap out the booties for high heels and you are ready for the night! This is another style staple that you can wear day in and day in and out so many other ways! And for a tremendous, high-quality pair of designer jeans, $88 is an incredible price. Buy this look: Blank Denim, Bop Shop
Distressed Denim Shorts:
Repeat after me: “every woman needs a pair of One Teaspoon”. Ladies… these shorts are truly a miracle. They are great for any body type and super cute. They’re perfect for a day at the beach or a day downtown and can be styled in many ways. I’d pair it with a straightforward crop top, a pair of gladiator sandals and a wide-brimmed beach hat for some fun in the sun (meaning lying in the warm sand and working on that tan) or wearing some old clothes. a school denim snapback, an oversized t-shirt, and your favourite pair of sneakers (I love the crisp white Nike Air Force 1s) and you have that cool Californian skater/surfer vibe. If you are going for the 90s look with this look, tie an oversized flannel shirt around your waist. The difficulty is right on trend and this is completely perfect for summers. Buy this look: 1955 Bandit, One Teaspoon
Romper:
Why sacrifice style when you can look trendy and fabulous in a romper like this? White is a fantastic color for summer and a fall back will keep your eyes peeled and will keep you cool in the warm sun! Pair it with a sun hat and a few cute tan wedges for the day or wear a leather jacket with a pair of nude pumps for a night out to a concert or simply to go out. With a romper, you are sure to stand out from the sea of easy dresses and shorts and look incredible and trendy while doing it. Buy this look: ASTR, Nordstrom
