Summer Must Haves For $45 or Less

Ruffle Bodysuit: Nordstrom | Shorts: Nordstrom | Bag: Clare V | Wedges: Nordstrom | Sunglasses: Amazon | Earrings: Sugarfix By Baublebar

 

I love buying pieces that are versatile and can be worn so many different ways! During the summer time, I tend to save more on pieces than any other season. You can always find quality pieces for less this time of year so I’m less likely to splurge.  Today, I’m sharing my favorite summer staples that are $45 or less!

1. Bodysuits

Bodysuits are one of my favorite staple pieces for summer that can easily be dressed up or down.  During the summer time I love to pair bodysuits with a pair of shorts for a chic & casual look. This Nordstrom BP ruffle bodysuit is only $35 and super comfortable!  The cute ruffle sleeves really set it apart and can take a simple day-time look to a new level.  It was just restocked in most sizes in white & ivory (which is really a very pale blue as seen above).  Below are more affordable bodysuits that I’m loving!

 

2. Linen Shorts

Linen high-waisted shorts or otherwise known as “paper-bag shorts” are everywhere right now!  I love this trend because there’s something about this style that looks chic and sophisticated while still being extremely comfortable! Above I wore these striped linen shorts from Nordstrom that are $45.  I love the slightly oversized fit!  They run true to size & also come in tan. Below are more linen shorts I’m loving for summer.

 

3. Statement Sunglasses

From heart shaped to cat-eye, I’m loving statement sunglasses this summer. Many of these styles  are dupes for brands like Saint Laurent and Chloe. I found these Saint Laurent dupes on Amazon for only $9! You can get the same high-end designer sunglasses look on a budget below!

    It doesn’t look like less than $45! As they said, it’s not how much the costs of your clothes, it’s how confidently you wear it.
