The coral-colored skirt is the best find. I bought it at a store called Body Central last year for under $5. Yes, the same Body Central that sells questionable club gear and rhinestone-studded everything. Here's a key to budget style: shop everywhere, but be as picky as humanly possible. If something is cheap but looks cheap, do not buy it. I have prices in mind I will never go over. Dresses and skirts, no more than $12, shirts, no more than $8, etc.
The shirt is from the Canvas line of Lands End for Sears. I discovered an after-holiday sale of theirs a year ago and stocked up on Oxfords. They were probably under 15 dollars, but I wear them weekly and are great quality.
The sailboat necklace is from Ebay for less than $8. I love to find unique statement pieces for cheap on Ebay. A lot of the jewelry that is cheap ships from China, so do not expect to get it soon.
In the picture on the right, you can see my pearl headband from Charming Charlie (always moderately priced and usually has great clearance) and my arm full of bracelets. I'm a camp counselor, so I collect these odds and ends throughout the summer.
You can't see my feet, but I believe I paired this with some brown loafers from Plato's Closet.
I love these tips! I also love that you look super cute, but your top prices you spend are amazingly low.
