12 Off-The-Shoulder Tops Under $30

12 cute and cheap off-the-shoulder tops on a budget
Off-the-shoulder tops are a must have for this summer season. Just like many other fashion trends, off-the-shoulder tops are a blast from the past! This 90’s style top (think Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell) has made a comeback and is better than ever. Off-the-shoulder tops have so many versatile styles to choose from; classic, cold-shoulder, and slouchy-shoulder. Whether you are headed to the beach or headed to the clubs, it’s easy to make your look casual or sexy…or better yet, both!

Not ready to flaunt your entire décolletage? Ease your way in with the cold-shoulder top. This specific top will keep you and your arms covered but the peek-a-boo cutouts will reveal just enough to keep them guessing (and it's easy to wear with your favorite regular bra, too).

The best part about these 12 tops is that you won’t be breaking the bank. That means you will have extra money to grab that summer morning iced coffee or nighttime ice cream.

Style Tips



  • Pair with white raw hem denim, chunky heels, and long jewelry for brunch.

  • Pair with a suede skirt, ankle high gladiators, a thick choker necklace, and a flirty pair of sunglasses for date night.

  • Pair with distressed high waisted shorts, layered necklaces, Doc Martens, and a sunhat for a Coachella inspired festival look.

Meet the Newest Member of Our Team, Summer Intern Sophia Zigmond!

Sophia Zigmond | The Budget Babe Summer Intern
When people ask me how I got started with blogging, my story always goes back - waaaay back - to that time I had a summer internship with NationalGeographic.com in Washington, D.C. The position gave me a lot of valuable skills and fueled my interest in this new thing called "the Internet." Now that I head my own website, I'm thrilled to be able to offer an internship position this summer to a very talented student who will no doubt teach me a thing or two about her area of expertise - social media - and more! Please give a very warm welcome to Sophia Zigmond, and let her know what kinds of things you'd like to see on the blog in the comments section or on our Facebook page! Read on to get to know Sophia a little bit more and stay tuned for her first post coming to the blog later this afternoon. -BB
