Happy Summer! The new season means all new fashion photos! I’m so proud and excited to bring summer fashions right to you so you can look hot for the most fashionable season of the year!
Fashion has always been a passion of mine! Ever since I was younger, I would scout vintage shops to find unique pieces that would make a statement. Throughout all the endless hours I spent shopping, I learned that you don’t have to spend a fortune on your wardrobe; you can look fabulous on a budget!
Nowadays we have the convenience of many affordable stores right in our neighborhoods! The stores that I love where I’ve found amazing fashionable and designer pieces are Marshalls, TJMax, Burlington Coat Factory and DSW. These are just a couple of places that carry designer, yes DESIGNER, fashions at a discounted price! You would never expect to find these normally expensive items at a steal, but you can! That’s why I suggest starting your shopping day at these discounted stores so you won’t end up spending a lot on something that you can get for a great buy!
Some other stores I recommend are Century 21, Zara and Forever 21! They all have a wide variety of styles so every woman can find her own unique look!
It’s so important when deciding whether or not to buy an item to see if you can get the most bang for your buck. If you find a gorgeous dress, but can only wear it to a formal event that you go to twice a year, obviously you wouldn’t get much use out of it. Finding versatile pieces that you can pair with many different styles of clothes is important when shopping on a budget! You want to look and feel like a rock star every day, not just on occasion!
I am loving this 2-piece crop top and skirt outfit. It really is perfect for the summer weather! You can dress this look up or down; add flat sandals or a simple pair of Keds for a day look or add a killer pair of high heels for a night out.
Many women are hesitant when wearing crop tops, and have every right to be! They are intimidating and a bit riske! However, no matter what size or shape you are, you can rock a crop top! If you feel uncomfortable baring your mid drift, swap out the crop top with a tank top, or a t-shirt. Look below for my tips for all body types to see how you can make one work for you!
Since this outfit is a solid color, you can have fun with accessories! I chose a stack of gold rings and a statement gold necklace to make the entire look pop! Finish your look with a killer pair of shoes! I chose to be a bit daring, but that’s what fashion is all about! If you like something and it’s your style, rock it with confidence! Have fun with your fashion! It is a great form of self-expression!

Tips for Curvy Girls
Rock your Curves! Choose a form fitting, bodycon skirt to show off your fabulous assets!
Wear your crop top with a high waisted skirt that hits right at your true waist!
If you don’t like crop tops, try a tank top or t-shirt instead! The crop top doesn’t make the look, you do!
Rock a pair of high heels to elongate your legs and stand out from the crowd!

Crop Tops are made for you! Try bandeaus also, which are a great to show off your toned arms!
Try a skirt with pockets! This will give the illusion of curves!
