What I Wore: Ruffles Galore, Colored Shorts, Floral Dress, and More

I love this top from Anthropologie!  Of course I bought it on ebay for much cheaper though. 

Mint ruffle tank top: Bisco Falls from Anthropologie, bought on ebay

My grandma's apricot trees sure make a cute backdrop. :)

Ivory ruffle sleeve tee: Forever21

Turquoise shorts: American Rag from Macy's

The funny thing about this belt is that when I bought it, it fit great.  But now, it somehow stretched out a good ten inches and needs to be pinned on.  I don't know how that happens.

This is one of my dressy/casual outfits.

I've been dying to try the floral pants thing for a while now, but wasn't willing to shell out big bucks for something so trendy.  Enter these $10 leggings from Forever21.  I knew I could count on you, Forever21.  I wore it with a long tank top because no one needs to get that friendly with my backside.  Haha.

I love the simple style of this dress.  I was pretty bummed to find that the smallest size they carried was still too big, but it's nothing a belt couldn't fix!

Gray leggings: CottonOn

White ruffle sandals: Wet Seal

Black waist belt: came with another shirt I bought

I love the vintage feminine flair this outfit has.  Lace paired with mini polka dots is perfection.

Dusty blue high-waisted a-line polka dot skirt: Downeast

Cognac sandals: Old Navy

What I Wore: June part 3-Striped maxi dress, leggings, and more

I decided this time to include approximate prices I paid for everything (except rings, because then everything would cost as much as my wedding ring, haha) so you can see how much I usually pay for my outfits.  I always have to laugh when I see people on tv showing you how to get a great outfit for 'only $200.'  Cheapskates for the win!

I wore this top along with black dress pants for the wedding I photographed that morning, then changed into denim shorts after because it's hot outside!

Black and cream lace top: Maurice's-$18

Black undershirt: Kim's Fashions-$7

Shorts: LA Idol pants from Plato's Closet that I cut off into shorts-$15

Necklace: Kohl's-$15

Ring: ebay

Nail polish: Abigail by Julep. I LOVE the 'silk' finish!

Outfit total: $55

I love the sequin roses on this dress.  I sometimes have a hard time figuring out what to pair it with, but I think the magenta sweater looks cute.

Sequin rose dress: Old Navy-$15

Magenta short sleeve sweater: Old Navy-$5

Brown leggings: Charlotte Russe-$5

Rosette sandals: Forever Young Shoes-$10

Rose necklace: Forever 21-$4

Outfit total: $39

I wanted to wear something casual and cool this day since I knew we were going hiking later. 

Cobalt blue ruffle shirt: Kohl's-gift

Denim shorts: Aeropostale-$15

Coral flower necklace: Forever 21-$8

Flip flops: Old Navy-$2

Outfit total: $25+whatever the shirt cost

I love this maxi dress!  It was actually long enough off the rack by some miracle, and it even has sleeves and a great neckline.  It's an all-around win.

Green striped maxi dress: Downeast-$25

Gold flats: Forever Young Shoes-$18

Gold skinny belt: Urban Outfitters-$5

Pink necklace: Downeast-$15

Outfit total: $63

I always laugh when I remember that this dress said 'knee-length dress' on the tag.  It's like... a foot above my knees.

Magenta dress: Forever 21-$13

White half-tank: Hapari-$5

Gray leggings: Papaya-$5

Cognac braided belt: Wet Seal-$3

Cognac sandals: Old Navy-$10

Outfit total: $36

So my average outfit was about $44.  Not too shabby, I don't think.  Stay tuned for a post coming soon about how I find the best deals on clothes.
