All Dressed Up

I love how budget friendly dresses can be. Instead of having to buy a top and a bottom for an outfit, you only need one piece..plus a few accessories, of course. For this outfit, I'm reusing a few things from my previous post to show how versatile these outfits can be. The thing I love about this outfit is that I can switch the scarf for one of a different color (for maybe $15), and change the color scheme of the outfit. I also like that this outfit would be cute for both going out with my boyfriend and going to class.

This particular outfit is based off one I'm going to go buy today (hopefully...if I can find the F21 dress in my  local store!). I'm a very tiny 4'11". The reviews of the dress online said it was a bit long, so I'm pairing it with heels. I think this outfit would also be cute with flat sandals similar to those in my last post. I'm also showing it with earrings and a cocktail ring, but I think that a bracelet and earrings would be cute too. I debated doing earrings, a bracelet, and ring, but that was a little too flashy for me.

Two Outfits for Less Than $200

Both of the below outfits are perfect for Summer. To help keep the outfit affordable, a lot of the pieces are used in both outfits.

OUTFIT 1
Work-This is a great outfit if you have a casual work environment. I'm kind of obsessed with this outfit and cannot wait to go buy it. I love that I can add boots and a sweater to make it appropriate for Fall.

Belt: $15, JC Penney

Necklace: $28, Nianacollection on Etsy
Shoes: $39.99, Target
Bag: $26.99, Target
Pencil Skirt: $22.99, Target
Shirt: $19.99, Target

Styling: Cuff the sleeves of the shirt so the top of the cuffs hit below your elbows. Unbutton the shirt to wherever you're comfortable. Tuck the shirt into the skirt and add the belt so it covers where the shirt and skirt meet.

OUTFIT 2
Weekend-This outfit is great for running around on the weekend. I love the pop of color in the shoes.

Necklace: $28, Nianacollection on Etsy
Shoes:$15, Target
Bag: $26.99, Target
Shirt: $19.99, Target
Shorts: $19.50, Old Navy

Styling: Roll the sleeves of the shirt so the top of the cuff hits below your elbow. Push the sleeves up a little (so they look scrunched) for a more casual look. Wear the shirt untucked and button to wherever you're comfortable.

Grand Total: $187.46
Price includes: 2 pairs of shoes, shorts, skirt, shirt, statement necklace, bag, and belt.

AdditionsPieces you can easily add to the outfits for a little more oomph

I love the idea of tying this scarf in a
bow on the handle of the bag in outfit
two for another pop of color and pattern.



This bracelet would be cute with
outfit number two.


Scarf: $14.99, Target
