Recaps and Stripes

I wanted to start off today's post by thanking everyone who joined Ada and I in our Budget Babes link-up last week! We had over 50 link-ups, which is pretty awesome! The link-up is still open today and tomorrow, so make sure you link-up some of your favorite budget, summer trends looks!

I also wanted to share some of my favorite looks Ada and I put together last week. My favorites from Ada were her Midi Skirt look and her Gladiator Sandals look. 


I just can't get enough of that striped skirt (and she paired it with one of my favorite colors!) and the dress she wore with her gladiator sandals is such a gorgeous color and great for the warmer summer weather!

I think it's kind of funny, my favorite looks are both my least expensive (maxi dress) and most expensive (midi dress) outfits!


I really like how I thought outside of the box in styling my maxi skirt as a dress, and I really like my hair in both pictures :) haha

And now for today's outfit, I pulled out my new striped dress from Target again, and put a cardigan over it to wear to church last Sunday.


 Dress: Target
Wedges: Target
Cardigan: Old Navy
Earrings: Etsy


Hubby wanted to know why I did my hair so fancy :) I said it's not. It's just a bun on the side of my head. That is all. (Although, that is how my wedding hair was!)



Haha I love the look I'm giving in this picture:


Here is the other way I've styled this dress so far, when we were on vacation in Door County:

  7. Gorgeous striped maxi dress and I love how you styled it. The red wedges are pretty and a great choice for this. I love Black, White & Red together.

    Wonderful recap also. Love how your own 2 favorite looks were also my most 2 favorite looks from you. Also my Midi Skirt Look was one of my top 2 favorites. The Pink Dress came to a close third. Great minds think alike, no?

    It was a pleasure doing this with you. You are beautiful and thrifty and always look super chic on a budget. Our link-up was great as well.

    Enjoy this week Maria. <3 Ada.
