Shopping is NO minor obsession… honestly, it’s become a bit of an addiction for me at this point! Thankfully over the years, I’ve come up with some money saving tips for serial shoppers! CREATE A BUDGET: you really don‘t know how much you’re spending til …
Alright y’all — it’s been almost 8 weeks since I “officially” became a working woman… and although I’ve been working in professional jobs for the past 4ish years, and worked almost full-time at the same company for the past 9 months, there is definitely something …
Summer is all about trying new styles and experimenting with your look! I love the easiness of the season, and how you can totally mix up your statement summer style — it’s like anything goes!
As with any fashion experimentation, you never want to invest too much money into a super trendy piece, because you have to understand that chances are, it may only be on-trend for the season. So you definitely don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on something you’ll wear for the season and then never again.
I tend to invest in key staples on an occasional basis that I will wear time and time, season and season again. Then, I spend fewer dollars on pieces that are bold and make a statement, but on a more frequent basis. This satisfies my love for shopping and new clothes, without breaking the bank.
Lucky for us, Ardene has ALL the trendiest pieces of the season, at affordable prices that we can all appreciate! Think high end styles at totally attainable price points. WIN-WIN!
When I was heading out to a four-course dinner and wine pairing at a modern, boutique cottage retreat, I wanted an outfit that would stand out but still have an earthy, lake-life feeling to it. So I opted for a monochromatic 3-piece look in a very neutral, boho tone from Ardene’s summer sale!
With culottes being all the rage this season, and since I’m loving the denim take on these wide leg pants, I snagged the cutest Denim Pouch Pocket Culottes on sale for under $25! Paired with a simple Knit Buttoned Tank (under $10) and beautiful floor length duster-style Long Open Woven Kimono (under $20) layered over top! The perfect laid-back but stylish look for casual summer evenings where you still want to look chic and current!
While I likely won’t wear this exact all-cream outfit very many more times over the summer as it is such a unique look, I’ll definitely wear each of these styles with other pieces from my closet!
Whether you’re looking for that one statement piece, or multiple trendy items to mix and match all summer long, Ardene truly is my tried and true go-to for on-trend, on-sale pieces! And with so many pieces both online and in-store, you’re sure to find the exact thing you (never) knew you needed!
A good travel shoe is sooo important, especially in the summer. When your packing space is limited, you need a sandal that will be just as comfortable as it is stylish when you’re walking 20K a day, as it will be when you’re kicking around …
After grinding through university, I knew I didn’t want to settle for my first, real job. After all, your first job is probably the only job you can afford to take a risk on — so why not take a risk on it? Why not …
