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.
