5 Summer Trends on the Cheap
Summer is well under way, but there’s still time to sport some of this season’s hottest trends. Here are five of the hottest pieces to update your look, all under $50.
Skinny Cargo Pants
Surprisingly flattering, the skinny cargo pant is the must-have trend this season. Worn with everything from flat sandals to heels, they’re a sexy new take on a classic that looks great on women of all ages and sizes. Snatch this pair of Skinny Cargo Pants from Lucky Brand on sale for just $29.99.
Pleated Short Shorts
Casual and laid-back, yet somehow refined, the soft pleated short is one of our favorite comfy wardrobe additions. This Staring at Stars Paperbag Short ($48) from Urban Outfitters can be worn casually with flats and a tank top, or dressed up with a pair of heels and a lightweight blazer.
Printed dress
Tie-dye and ikat are the prints of summer 2010, and we can’t get enough of them. This colorful Tie Dye Ruffle Tube Dress is just $29.50 at Arden B., and it’s perfect for wearing on weekends or as a swim cover up.
Espadrilles
We love it when a classic is also a trend. Espadrilles and cork wedges are a fresh look this summer that you’ll keep in your closet for years to come. Wear yours with everything from shorts and skinny cargo pants to dresses and skirts. This Volatile Show Off Wedge is just $49.50 and has a bit of a dressier feel than most espadrilles, making it appropriate for the office and beyond.
Rompers
The romper has really taken off this summer as women everywhere are finally feeling playful enough to embrace the casual-chic onesie. Worn anywhere from the beach to a night out on the town, rompers can be dressed up by simply adding a belt and heels or a boyfriend blazer. This Day Trip Romper ($49.50) comes in three popping colors and features pretty ruffled details.

Post a CommentNot really crazy about any of these, but I think shown in different colors or prints they might be better. I do love rompers and dresses, just not in those colors and always love a good wedge shoe.
Not feelin’ any of those outfits!
Not really feeling it!
oh my goodness i am loving that dress!! i want it!
I’m 5 foot, so I always think I look silly in the rompers…. LOVE the wedges though and I have a pair that I wear religiously!
I’m kind of picky about rompers myself. There are some cute styles out there that are form flattering, but that orange one w/ the line down the upper middle reminds me of how my mom wears her pants… high waters… NOT sexy or cute, so NO THANK YOU! Of course, when you’re in your 50′s-60′s, fashion isn’t really a concern so the high water look is OK. I guess.
The printed dress and the espadrilles are cute though…
Rompers <3
Shopping with Mom today – upon spotting the romper – she said “why are the outfits I was required to wear in gym class in fashion??”- priceless
– i think they’re cute-

That romper is the Bizness! Perfect outfit for these heatwaves minus the hat.

i love rompers…it’s my favorite thing to wear for summer!!!
I love the wedges….
love the dress!
I actually like the cargo pants. Im 42 and I think I would like great in them. I’m also a girlly girl and loves dresses. I like the tie dye dress and wedges.
Like the cargos. People still wear rompers? They’re kinda impractical in terms of when you have to use the little girls room.
Cute Wedges!

cant get enough of the Rompers!!
I love the dress and wedges.
