If I had my way, I would spend every day of summer in a swimsuit and a cover up. But summer also means lots of opportunities for gatherings and occasions that require more than a bikini. Many of you may be familiar with JustFab for their knockout handbags and shoes for less. If you haven’t branched out to their other options, Budget Babes will be pleased to find that JF has you covered for summer clothing, too, with a growing assortment of affordable dresses, tops, bottoms - even swimwear. Recently I had the chance to review a few pieces, courtesy of JustFab - read on for more details!

Hello Budget Babes! For once, I’m not in fitness gear! Dressing in normal clothes is rare for me now that I work at a gym, but I am more than happy and eager to spend (wisely of course) on summer fashion! So I have to say a big “thank you” to Kohl’s for the opportunity to pick out some of their items from their Juniors’ department—I was overwhelmed with the choice of dresses, and I honestly could have chosen four or five that I ADORED.
