Trend Report: Lace Crochet Shorts for less!

This season, lace crochet shorts can be found at almost every store right now and they are selling out fast! Ever since I posted a pic of Target's version on my Instagram page and it sold out online (and difficult to track down in stores), people are still asking me if I have seen them or anything similar.

While I usually like to keep a trend piece under $30 (or less if possible), I made an exception only because this is such a hot item and I don't want anything to sell out before you have a chance to pick up a pair. Another bonus is that the two shorts that are around $40 are brands that always go on sale. I've also included other lace shorts I loved but cannot grab a decent online photo of them, sad face.

Will you be buying a pair?

Joe Fresh at JCP New Fall Arrivals on sale!!

I stopped at JCP to see the New Fall looks from Joe Fresh. Black and white dominated the preppy and chic pieces. With JCP back to having sales (yay!), these items are currently 25% off the already low prices! My store didn't have all of the things I browsed online, so I included a few of those items to show you what will be coming soon to your store. I went home with the polka dot shirt and envision wearing it with jeans for a casual look or a skirt and statement necklace to dress it up.

Will you be shopping Joe Fresh this season - any favorites?

Orange Crush under $25

I have a major crush on the color orange this season and there is no shortage of shades to be found. Here are some of the finds for less than $25 to add some pop to your look. One of my favorites ways to wear this bold color is to pair it with navy or light grey, both acting as a neutral to create a fresh and polished look.

Flea Market Chic - under $30

Flea market chic is my idea of how to dress and accessorize when you do a little outdoor shopping and for me that usually just means hitting my local outdoor mall with a water fountain, Starbucks, and Anthropologie all in one place. Although I am not an actual "flea market" girl, I definately

romanticize the notion of casually walking through the Paris streets and finding the perfect piece for my home while sipping a cappuccino. These are all the essentials needed for your own weekend stroll in the warm summer months ahead and all for less than $30.

 

Ps. Thank you to everyone who stayed with me through my blogging hiatus after being struck with the flu and for anyone who left me well wishes, it was much appreciated ♥

1 Quilted Sunnies $12// 2 Maptote Canvas Hobo $20// 3 Vera for Target Scarf $19.99// 4 Mossimo Fedora $10.39// 5 Gap Bicycle Tee $25.99//  6 Xhilaration Belted Skirt $19.99//
