Affordable Looks for Summer!

Gosh, I just love Affordable Friday! I truly can’t even tell you guys how much joy it brings me to do these. I just love finding beautiful outfits that won’t break the bank. So I hope you love these posts as much as I do and that you find something you love.

Ombre Dress

I don’t even know where to start because there’s so much to talk about, but I guess I’ll start with one of my absolute favorite pieces and it is this gorgeous blue ombre dress. I truly feel like the fabric looks soo beautiful and my goodness is it insanely soft. Here’s a thing, it’s on sale for only $16! The quality of the material and the way this dress is cut seriously makes it seem like it is super expensive. I could not love it more. I’m wearing a size small and it comes inside as XS to XXXL.

OMBRE DRESS

Same Pattern for 2 Dresses!

I’ll move onto another dress that I love. Honestly, I fell in love with the print of this dress when I saw it, so I decided to go ahead and get two different dresses with the same print to show you guys both of them, just so you can pick whichever one more suits your style! or really what you need the dress for. This first one I feel like is a little more casual. It would be perfect for like a brunch or any summertime casual event. I love the cut at the top of this dress – a square neckline is one of my favorites. I love that it’s stretchy in the back so it will fit all different sizes. I’m wearing a small which is my normal size but honestly, it’s a little big in the bust for me. So if you are smaller chested, I would recommend sizing down one in this. I highly recommend checking out the reviews because others love it as much as I do!

 1. SQUARE NECK DRESS | 2. FLUTTER SLEEVE DRESS

Here is the exact same print and also within insanely good reviews. I’m wearing a size small in the dress as well and I also feel like maybe I could’ve sized down, so if you’re in between sizes on this one, definitely size down and then maybe consider sizing down in general. This dress has a stretch waist with a tie that you can use to cinch it in and the cut of it is just really beautiful. Plus, it’s under $30!

Stunning Yellow Linen

Since we’re talking about dresses, I’ll review this one next! I love love love love love the cut and style of the stress. Plus, it’s on sale right now for only $15.98. However, there is one thing that I want to point out for you guys. The material is a very thin linen, which is great for a hot summer, but you can see the pockets through the dress. So if that something that would bother you, I wouldn’t get this dress. However, it doesn’t bother me at all. This is the perfect gardening dress or just kind of casually entertaining at the house. I am such a sucker for this style that I think it is totally worth getting especially because it’s on sale for $15. I’m wearing a size small, which is my normal size.

YELLOW DRESS

Comfortable Flowy Dress

This next dress is great for anyone who wants something that’s really breathable, nice looking, but not fitted at all. If you prefer a fitted dress, then this one isn’t for you. But if you like a dress that’s more free flowing and doesn’t hug your body, then this is perfect. But because this dress has tiers, it gives it a little bit of shape so it doesn’t just look like it’s fabric hanging on your body if that makes sense. In fact, another person who reviewed the dress said the same thing! It has incredible reviews so definitely check those out.

BLACK & WHITE DRESS

Oh and don’t let me forget to mention that it’s on deal for only $13 right now! I decided to size down in this and got the extra small and it fits me great. But I don’t think you can go wrong with your normal size either. Especially based on the reviews.

Chic Classy but Casual

This next look isn’t a dress, but I feel like it is classy and makes you look pretty together and dressy. But in a casual way if that makes sense. Ha! You might even already have these pants because I have written about them before in the past Affordable Friday. I am absolutely in love with them! I sized down in these and they fit perfectly so you might want to consider doing that. But they are absolute perfect summer pant! They are lightweight and comfortable and a great thing to wear instead of shorts. Plus they’re only $13.99! And get this top that I’m wearing with them that is on clearance for $6. You might also recognize it because I have worn it in the past. I actually wore it to my brothers rehearsal for his wedding. It’s beautiful and such a perfect basic to wear with so many things. I paired the top and pants with this $14 belt which is surprisingly the most expensive thing I’m wearing. Ha! I love love love this look!

New Tops that I LOVE

And then, of course I wanted to share some casual things too. This top is just so pretty and I loved the blue floral print so I wanted to get it and share it with you guys. I think it’s really pretty to wear with either white shorts or white pants. But really you could totally wear this with blue jeans and it would be just as beautiful. I just like the start difference of the white in the blue.

BLUE TANK

But what makes me absolutely obsessed with this top is seeing in black! Oh my gosh and get this top ASAP! I know sometimes it’s hard to get excited about a basic black top, but I’m telling you you’ve got to make sure your closet is packed full of basics that you love like this top. You could easily pair it with jeans and a pair of heels and cute jewelry for a cute look or as I have it paired here with these $14 wide leg lightweight pants.

 1. BLACK TOP | 2. PANTS | 3. PURSE

Which by the way these pants are amazing! I got them as a pair of cover-up pants for an upcoming vacation but turns out I just love them as an every day pant. Plus, they’re on sale for $14.99 which is half off the normal price. I’m wearing a size small which is my normal size and they fit great.

Also, the things I used to accessorize look like this bag for under $20 and my super super super affordable jewelry.

The BEST $6 Shorts

I know this is getting long, but I hope you guys made it this far because these shorts are only $6 and they are so soft and comfy! I hope you get a chance to check them out and read the reviews. There’s over 2300 reviews of these shorts, and oh my gosh, do people love them! And so do I! They are the softest things ever and just so perfect to lounge around out in, run errands in or even wear to bed. Showing you the three colors I got them in but they come in other colors as well. S

eriously they’re $6.98 so snag them! They’re amazing! I’m wearing a size small, which is my normal size and they JUST fit. SO you might wanna size up one in these. They come in size as extra small to XXXL.

$6 SHORTS

SWIMSUIT & $13 COVERUP

You might recognize these next two pieces because I’ve shared them in a past Affordable Friday. However, I feel compelled to share them again because the white cover-up is favorite of mine and it’s even more affordable than when I first posted about it. It was $24 when I posted about it last but it’s on clearance right now for only $13! This is the absolute perfect white cover-up for summer! I love the length, the fit, and the material! I feel like the picture on the website does not do it justice at all. It’s fabulous! I’ll also link the suit!

1. WHITE COVERUP | 2. CORAL SUIT 

Underrated Dress!

This dress was $20 when I posted about it last, but it’s on sale for just $14.38. I think it’s because the dress just does not look good on the model on the website, but trust me when I tell you, it is stunning! One of my absolute favorites! Do not miss out on this dress. You can wear is tied or untied for a more flowy look! See below!

STRIPED LINEN DRESS

My ‘Step Up’ Moment in Cargo Pants

Last, but not least, are these super cute cargo pants that are on clearance for $13! I love them so much! They do run big so definitely size down in these. But I love that they have an adjustable waist so that even if they’re a little too big you can cinch the waist in. They come in green and white, but the white is sold out in my size and I’m so bummed about that because I would totally get them in the white too.

 1. CARGO PANTS | 2. TANK

I always feel like when I watch people in dance workout classes they’re always wearing cute baggy pants like this and it makes them like look cooler. Does that make sense? Ha! I’ve always wanted to try to replicate that look but every time I bought pants, they never look baggy on me in like a hip-hop kind of way. But these do and I’m obsessed! Also linking the top that I’m wearing. It’s super affordable! I’m gonna write more about the top in future affordable Friday because I’m gonna share more then, but just get it now because it’s amazing!

Striped Top

Oh, but before I go, some of you were asking me about the striped top, I was wearing the other day. It’s super cute and only $9. I got this t-shirt in both the striped color and white. But it also comes in a navy stripe that I just ordered as well because I’m kind of obsessed with stripes lately. I just think they look chic and expensive. I’m wearing a size small, which is my normal size.

 STRIPED TOP
