Shopping on a college budget does not mean you must stray away from fashionable or cute pieces. You may need to take some time to search, but affordable clothing items do exist. I actually really enjoy shopping online because you can set a price limit on your search, so you’re able to set a spending budget and then shop away. Remember, do not fear the sale rack!
Forever 21 carries a super cute chambray shirt dress with skinny belt for $24.80 (www.forever21.com). Chambray gives any look a effortless feel, which is perfect for spring. Forever 21 is a great place to shop. Not only do they mostly carry items that follow current styles, but the prices are great.
This Pixellation belted dress by TOBI retails for $18 on sale (www.tobi.com). It is a very stylish, but fun high-low dress for the spring/summer seasons. I absolutely love the bold color and print because it makes it totally fitting for the warmer weather. TOBI offers some amazing dresses for great prices. They are having a sale on a lot of their cute dresses, so If you have not checked out their site make sure to do so soon!
Stripes are a great print for the spring because it gives outfits a nautical vibe. This red stripped dress is on sale for $16.50 at Spotted Moth (www.spottedmoth.com). Spotted Moth is a boutique I found when visiting Orange, California last spring break. I instantly fell in love. I love their dresses.
H&M has tons of affordable clothing pieces that are not only cute, but affordable as well. This sleeveless textured jersey dress by H&M costs only $24.95 (www.hm.com). It comes in mint green and black. This dress is great as a casual or formal piece because you can either tone it down with minimal accessories or play it up with a cute necklace and heels.
