Budget Babes: Midi Dress

You should know the drill by now, but just in case you're just joining us this week, I'm teaming up with the sweet Ada of Elegance & Mommyhood to bring to you our budget-conscious trends for summer! The whole idea is to show you how you can try out all the in-fashion trends without breaking the bank to do so. Each of our pieces this week is $20 or under, with our total outfit price not exceeding $75.

Does this dress look familiar?? It is the same aztec maxi skirt I wore here and here! I did this for two reasons. One, because I actually don't own any midi skirts/dresses! I was thinking of the dress I got from eShatki, but I technically ordered it shortened to my knees, so that wouldn't count. Second, I wanted to show you how you can try out trends without actually having to go out and invest in a whole new piece for your wardrobe! Just hike it up a bit, add a belt to create more shape, and you're good to go! Sneaky sneaky ;)

Dress/Skirt (Target): $14.39

Jean Jacket (Old Navy): $35 (?)

Nude Wedges (Payless): $5.05

Belt (off another dress): $0

Necklace (Farmers' Market Stand): $10

Bracelets (Target): $7.50

Earrings (Target): $1

Total = $72.94 (Came close to the $75 this time!)

I don't really have much else to say about this outfit, other than the fact that I've pretty much been wearing these shoes every day this summer! They are super comfortable and pretty much go with anything. Payless for the win!

And how cute does Ada look in her striped skirt? I'm all about stripes lately- tops, dresses, skirts... I love her skirt paired with the teal top and fun necklace. Perfect for a date night!
