Betsy's "4 Items Under $50 and 1 Splurge Party Outfit"
Thanks to Jenn at LL4L for inviting me to do a guest post. I’m honored to be a part of her fabulous blog!
Well, the time has come…I’m not 29 anymore, and it seems to be happening to a lot of my friends too. However, there is an upshot to this getting old thing. It seems that with everyone turning 30, there have been and will continue to be some lovely celebrations. Lots of spring and summer soirees on the horizon—and not just birthday—graduation, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, baby showers, wedding festivities. We all know that means new clothes! Here’s my party outfit take on “4 under $50 and a SPLURGE”-

Lots of spring and summer soirees on the horizon—and not just birthday—graduation, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, baby showers, wedding festivities. We all know that means new clothes! Here’s my party outfit take on “4 under $50 and a SPLURGE”-
Let’s start with the splurge since it’s the center of the outfit—and, it’s not TOO much of a splurge. This cheery yellow Kate Spade skirt which retails for $295 would be such a staple in any spring/summer wardrobe. It’s perfect for many occasions, depending on how you accessorize.
That brings me to my first “under $50” item--the well-fitting white tee. Strange accessory? I think not! These tops from J. Crew fit very well and are the perfect blank canvas for our next item…
The statement necklace. Yes, we’ve seen versions of this necklace many times in the last several seasons. However, I haven’t seen a blue as bright or fun as this one for only $38 from Fornash. No one would guess it was under $50! It stands on its own, so there’s no need for a fancy blouse with this skirt. The blue is a fun addition to yellow—great for spring!
You don’t want to compete with the bow detailing on the skirt or the glamorous necklace, so keep your shoes simple. Plus, they should be comfortable if you’ll be dancing and socializing! Try these easy gold flats from—who would have thought?—Old Navy!
No spring outfit would be complete without perfectly polished feet. This hot pink Essie color adds one more fun bit of color without being too much. And, how could we resist the name? “Fiesta!”
Thank you Betsy for your great tips on how to look good for less at any spring party! I am going to buy this beautiful necklace ASAP!
Happy Shopping!
