    Bitty dots

    A sheer shirt with a cute print like polka dots is pretty and fun. Plus, you can wear it with shorts through the rest of the sweltering summer or into fall with jeans and flats.

     

    Ruffled Polka Dot Shirt, $20, forever21.com

  • 2sequins.jpg

    Stunning sequins

    There’s nothing more glam than pale sequins for daytime. Pair this sleeveless sweater with denim shorts for a casual look now, and layer it over a button-down later.

     

    Sequin Knit Top, $17, forever21.com

  • 3cami.jpg

    Lush lace

    A lace cami in a bright, fun color is perfect for underneath a buttoned up shirt or cardigan. It’ll just barely peek through and look super pretty with any outfit.

     

    Vintage Lace Cami, $20, aerie.com

  • 4rings.jpg

    Gold rush

    Dainty, sparkly rings are an easy addition to a school day getup. A few rings stacked on the same finger are super chic.

     

    Sugar Stack Ring, $18, francescascollection.com

  • 5dress.jpg

    Fire coral

    A dress in a pretty color and a flattering fit is a definite wardrobe essential. Plus, a cinched waist looks amazing on every body type. If you’re lacking some curves, it will give you more shape. A dress like this is great for the rest of your summer but can also be worn into the fall by rocking it with a sweater and boots.

     

    Juniors Sleeveless Dress, $25, target.com

  • 6skirt.jpg

    Long layers

    High-low skirts are super trendy right now. It’s the perfect way to show off a little leg—but not too much!

     

    Pleated High-Low Skirt, $20, forever21.com

  • 7shoes.jpg

    Sparkle step

    A pair of glittery ballet flats is more universal than you’d think. They go with practically everything, and you can wear them pretty much all year round.

     

    Shea Glitter Ballet Flats in Gold, $20, target.com

  • 8peplum.jpg

    Presh peplum

    Peplum tops are so sweet and feminine. But the best part? They’re flattering on everyone. If you’re curvy, it will draw eyes away from your tummy and down to the pretty ruffle. If you’re on the thinner side, it will give you more of a shape. Love this with a basic blazer and your favorite jeans come fall.

     

    Chiffon Peplum Tank in Black, $20, urbanoutfitters.com

  • 9jeans.jpg

    Totally teal

    Colored skinnies are an easy way to bring some major color into your wardrobe. Wear them now with breezy tank tops and later with long-sleeved shirts and printed scarves.

     

    Twill Skinny Pants in Green, $16, forever21.com

  • 10charm.jpg

    Charmed life

    A pretty necklace with multiple chains looks so luxe on your neck against your amazing summer tan. One with sparkly charms is equal parts glam and sweetly simple.

     

    Dainty Charm Necklace Set, $15, alloy.com

I go to a private school that doesnt cost that much only around 6,000 a year compared to the other 40,000 schools. So anyway with our tuition were still doing very good but my mom gets really mad when i buy clothes and i havent bought anything in 6 months even when im at the mall with my friends! i tutor my little sister which gets me 5 bucks a month but i never get to spend it! and my mom and i think that these prices are not that cheap. I'm sorry that im not a millionaire but i just dont think these clothes are a good deal.







Hey girl! Thanks for your feedback! xxoo

Wonderful selection for under $25. Who says you have to spend a fortune for nice things.
