Cheap Picks for Summer

Yes, we all love YSL and Lacroix, but how many of us actually buy these labels on a regular basis? (If you do, please send all cast-offs my way!)
That's where Cheap Picks comes in. I've made it my personal mission to find the cutest clothes from your favorite chain stores.

Here goes:
From Forever 21:

H81 Buttonless Cardigan: $19.90

Granted, it doesn't look like much, but it seems like it would be amazing on. Sort of late-80's. With a striped shirt, dark skinny jeans and ballet flats or gladiator sandals.
From Urban Outfitters:
Endless Summer Sunglasses: $18.00

These sunglasses are the fabulous love child of the classic Jackie O frames and this season's Ray-Bans. I could see them on the coolest girl at the pool, with a bikini or maybe a paisley sundress.
Urban Renewal Levi's Cutoffs: $28.00
These are super 80's punk meets 90's grunge chic. They could so be your new summer staple.
From American Apparel:

Unisex Mineral Wash Stretch Bull Denim Slim Slack: $75

I'm most likely buying these this weekend. I LOVE them! They're basic but the acid wash makes them just a little bit different. They're also really cute in blue.

From Old Navy:
Suspended Halter Dress: $24.50

Comes in navy, black, and gray. Cute, versatile, and can take you from the beach to a semi-formal party in a second.
Knit Halter Dress: $24.50


I love the baltic print of this dress, which, though daring, would look gorgeous with gladiator sandals and large sunglasses.

hiatus over

Well, dear readers, I am officially back from dead.
And by the dead I mean exams, parties, and procrastination.
Look forward to new posts soon!
