What I Wore This Week (Frugal Fashion)

I told you all that I’m taking the Get Your Pretty On Summer Style Challenge. So far, I’m loving this challenge and can’t believe how much it’s encouraging me to get dressed in a cute outfit every day, try some new outfit pairings, and just enjoy putting together looks. Plus, I LOVE the Facebook Group where women share their own variation of each day’s outfit. 

I thought it would be fun to share a round-up of my outfits from this past week in hopes that it might inspire you with ideas and or encourage you to take a little time to mix and match items you already have to create some cute outfits!

Here’s what I wore this week:

Shirt: Amazon ($18 Prime)
Shorts: Zulily Sale (no longer available)
Shoes: Amazon
Jewelry: Kohl’s Clearance Rack

Top: Amazon
Earrings: Amazon
Shorts: Stitch Fix
Shoes: Zulily sale (no longer available)

Top: Amazon
Shoes: Amazon
Shorts: Zulily Sale (no longer available)
Jewelry: Kohl’s Clearance Rack

I think these shorts are a little short for the top or the top is a little long for the shorts, but it’s what I had, so I went with it!

Top: Cents of Style — it’s just $15.95 right now 
Pants: Stitch Fix — watch my unboxing video of what I got in my most recent box here.
Shoes: Amazon
Jewelry: Amazon

This was probably my least favorite outfit of the challenge so far. I love the shirt. I love the pants. I just think they are too bland together. It needs a bright pop of color — more than the jewelry. Any ideas or suggestions? I’d love to hear!


Dress: Amazon — Just $16.99 on Amazon!
Jewelry: Kohl’s Clearance Rack (mostly)
Shoes: Amazon

I rarely wear dresses… so I am excited to be pushed out of my clothing comfort zone with the GYPO challenge. I’m not sure what I think of this dress, but it might be growing on me!
