I love summer styles for their vibrant colors and breezy fabrics, and this season the colors are especially fun! I’ve been going through my summer wardrobe and looking for thrifty ways to stretch it without overspending. All of the finds below were scavenged from Forever21, all for less than $20! Another source of inspiration (though not for its prices) is Anthropologie.

I love coral as a summer color and this shade looks especially good on those of us blessed with *fair* skin. 🙂 I’ve never been one for wearing lots of gold, but I think it looks great in combination with the coral. While I wouldn’t try it for any other time of year, I think I can pass wearing gold during the summer months, when I at least have a little more color than usual.

I am also on the look-out for a ‘going away dress’ for after my wedding
reception (120 days and counting!). I’d like it to match my gorgeous cream peep-toe shoes and be something I can mix and match
with the rest of my summer/early fall wardrobe. Any ideas?
