Off the Rack: Review of Hope Ave. Boutique

Budget Babe Review: Hope Ave. Boutique
Until I moved to my new home in Idaho, I had never heard of Hope Ave. before. I stumbled upon it at our outdoor mall here in Meridian and was so in love from the moment I walked in. It sort of has an Urban Outfitters vibe, but a little more boho and feminine. Their website says their brand “invokes the truly courageous feminine spirit that we so admire, one that is adventurous, eclectic, natural, and free.” I’m down with that! Everything I saw in here was under $100, too, so I figured it deserved a little Budget Babe attention. Here’s what I tried on:

Chrissy Teigen's Stripe Duster and YSL Tassel Crossbody Look for Less

Chrissy Teigen Stripe Duster Look for Less
Let's be honest; a coat like this can go wrong real fast. Wear it with busy colors/patterns and it could turn into a clown costume without even trying. But Chrissy Teigen plays it just right by throwing hers over a black fitted dress, black accessories and dark PVC pumps. Her shoes are priced at $850, so we're more than okay with $100 on this clear pair we found by Steve Madden. And if it weren't for this chic coat, we think that her daughter's precious denim jacket and polka dot dress would steal the show!



Sofia Richie's Cropped Hoodie and Joggers Look for Less

Sofia Richie Cropped Hoodie Look for Less
Your post-workout outfit has never looked easier! Model Sofia Richie rocks a sporty vibe in a cropped hoodie, baggy joggers, and all-black sneaks. Colored sunglasses are popping up everywhere on everyone, so get a little playful with these fun blue frames. We threw in a faux leather backpack for holding all your needs from the gym to work to running errands - an stylish essential that fits consistently around a woman who is on the go.



Charlotte McKinney's Check Crop Top and Flare Jeans Look for Less

Charlotte McKinney Check Crop Top Look for Less
The more we see of the crop flare jeans on our favorite celebs, the more we dig this trend! Charlotte McKinney catches our eye wearing hers with this frilly blue check crop top. Her white heeled sandals keep things feminine, and the snake print contrast with her top is another one of those unexpected pairings that inspires us to be more adventurous with our own outfits!



Olivia Culpo's Striped Jumpsuit and Gucci Handbag Look for Less

Olivia Culpo Striped Jumpsuit Look for Less
Olivia Culpo struts the street in one of her very own designs with this light blue striped culotte jumpsuit. The actress and model launched a fashion line with Marled by Reunited Clothing, featuring jumpsuits like this one as well as track pants, dresses, and cut-out tops that are chic and trendy with her own little twists. This jumpsuit in particular is $128, so if you're up for the splurge, we love the idea of a strapless white top underneath, like Olivia does here. Style it with matching pointed-toe heels, a belt, and basic earrings for a dressy look that works for day or night.
