I can't say enough good things about wide leg pants for summer! The elastic waist, breezy fabric, and pretty prints are everything. Here are two pairs I'm loving from Target.com - now 30% off! Sale ends today!

We love this casual outfit idea from influencer @dressupbuttercup so we decided to try to recreate it on a budget! All it takes to get this look is a black off-the-shoulder top and some relaxed olive pants. Studded sandals bring the glam factor and everybody is loving the Steve Madden "Travel" sandal - definitely this summer's "It" shoe! Save a little or spend a little on our picks below to get the look...

One of the season's most popular sandals is the Steve Madden "Kimmie" sandal with it's summer-ready espadrille detailing and flatform styling. At $74, it's not a major investment but we found a near identical sandal at Walmart for just $20! I own the blush color and it's really quite comfy thanks to those elasticized straps. Balance this chunky sandal with shorter skirts, shorts and rompers. Save or spend, it's your pick!

Today is the last day to save during the Sephora Spring Sale event! Use code SPRINGSAVE to save 10% off your order. This is a big deal because Sephora sale events don't happen often. I wanted to share my favorites for those of you who might be looking for amazing skincare and makeup for women in their 30s and 40s. I promise you these are foolproof and so natural looking.
