Sometimes it's okay to match your bag to your shoes, as evidenced by Reese Witherspoon, who made a pretty pencil skirt and sleeveless blouse combination pop with bright fuchsia accessories. I love her gold bangle, clear-brimmed sunglasses and pink lips, too. Everything comes together seemlessly for a feminine, summery look that could take you from the office to a nice dinner. Let's get recreating with these fashion finds under $37!

Summer Chic: Chrissy Teigen’s Printed Skirt and Crop Top Look for Less

Chrissy Teigen's white crop top and pencil skirt - love this, so chic for summer!
Chrissy Teigen is quickly becoming one of our favorites for street style inspiration. In this look, the model uses clean lines and timeless pieces to emphasize her classically chic style. This look can easily be recreated with items that you may even have in your wardrobe. I love how on trend this ensemble is for summer with the use of white on white and simple accents. The cateye sunglasses and gold jewelry are basic enough that they can be worn daily to add a touch of glam, and the crop top, pumps, skirt and handbag are so versatile and can be used in your looks throughout the year. Get Chrissy’s look for less with these fashion staples that range from just $10 to $44!

Summer solstice marks the start of another celebration…wedding season! Whether you’re on the hunt for a bridesmaids dress that you finally LIKE or a versatile gown you can wear again and again, finding formalwear that’s both affordable and impeccably tailored is easier said than done. With 3 weddings coming up this summer alone, I started searching for budget-friendly solutions online and came across an amazing brand called Fame and Partners (fameandpartners.com) that offers stunning, made-per-order formal dresses that can be customized to your exact measurements and style preferences.
