Since it's wedding season, I thought it would be fun (and helpful) to have all the Budget Babe writers round up their favorite wedding guest dress picks. Lauren kicked off the series with her vintage romantic picks, and now I'm sharing my modern classic favorites. My picks are pretty and practical...and start at just $30 because I get it - as much as I love dressing up, I hate spending a ton on something I'll just wear a handful of times (if that). If you feel me, keep reading to see what I'm recommending to friends right now...

While not exactly a celebrity steal, Jamie Chung's new Louise et Cie 'Prim' bag is a bargain compared to some of the bags that celebs are often seen toting (which can cost thousands). If you like to save on clothes and spend a bit more on accessories, the 'Prim' is a great choice that can take you from summer to fall. It's roomy enough to hold all your essentials, features that handy cross-body strap and features luxe tassels that are so on trend. I love the tan color that Jaime is carrying but the bag also comes in versatile black or gray. It's also casual enough to wear with your athleisure duds, as Jaime is doing here, yet polished enough to pair with floaty maxi dresses (like this one) or chic rompers (like this one). Read on to shop Jaime's exact bag below...

Alessandra Ambrosio is giving me serious outfit envy this summer with her effortless boho-chic style, including this latest double denim look. Maybe it's her impossibly long legs and golden tan that make this lighwash denim button-down shirt and denim mini skirt look so fresh. Or perhaps it's the expertly added accessories...a rich brown crossbody bag, cut-out heeled sandals, Western belt, layered necklaces, and mirrored aviators. Whatever it is, we're feeling inspired, and if you are, too, you'll love our look for less picks starting at just $5!

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

Summer dresses and cute shorts are calling for these leg-lengthening espadrille wedge sandals.
