Sorry for the double post  today, but…. it’s that time of year again… one of my favorite sales. The SHOPBOP Friends + Family Sale… where everything (no minimum purchase) is 25% off. I always hoard items in my shopping cart around this time of year and wait for the e-mail that alerts me of this joyous occasion… now, the daunting task of pairing that shopping cart down can commence. Instead of creating a collage of all the items I am eyeing, I decided to create a few outfit options with those pieces… each under $150 (with the discount). I’ve included outfit inspiration for a brunch with girlfriends, a day of exploring, and a spring/summer pool party!

Brunch With Girlfriends 

I love this raw hem denim dress for so many reasons… it’s edgy, casual, and the white makes it the perfect warm weather option. White is essentially a blank canvas (something I always love) so pairing it with a neutral jacket and a few fun accessories is perfect. These statement earrings have been on my wish-list for several years now and I can see them getting a lot of mileage this coming summer.

Day Of Exploring 

When the weather gets warmer, the outside just beckons. I love a simple outfit for exploring. These white (again) cut-offs pair nicely with any option, but I love these three tops due to their unique qualities…. making them the statement, without really trying. I’m also loving this panama hat…. and I simply couldn’t resist this fringe backpack (the one item over $150)!

Pool Party:

One of my favorite parts of the summer (and spring if you’re in So California) are the days spent lounging by the pool. We take a lot of trips to the desert, and have a few warm weather trips planned for the summer, so I am loving this striped one piece and cover-up combo. I love that this dress is versatile enough to take me out at night as well… I see myself sipping a few Blue Hawaiians in this beauty… and maybe a ride or two on that pretty amazing unicorn raft!
