Well, my lovelies, here we are. February in Houston, Texas, means warm temps and time to break out the summer duds and sandals! Here's the Cheap-Cute scoop:
B/W Chevron Skirt: Walmart, of course, about $10. It has high slits on the sides, and I have to turn the waistband down, since I am short. But you could pretty easily cut off this skirt, since it's made of that kind of knit that will curl a little but won't ravel. Try it!
Polka-dot Sleeveless Top: Also Walmart. It was on clearance last summer for $2. Or was it $3? Either way, extremely affordable, and I went back and got it in the red polka dot too. Comfy! And the shoulders cover my bra straps. I hate a top that lets the straps show!
I started out with this top un-tucked, with a thin red belt. It was cute, but the top is kind of long and I wondered how it would look tucked in. Sure enough, it was much more flattering tucked.
Now, I could still put almost any color shoes with this, like my red 40's-style pumps, or my turquoise patent-leather pumps. Black wedge sandals or silver or yellow flats... With black and white, the possibilities are almost endless.
Bonus: I always love the opportunity to wear this cute little pin: a movie clap-board that says "Une belle fille comme moi" (French for "a beautiful girl like me"). My sister brought it to me from Paris years ago and I have cherished it! As for the cheap-cute thing, well, the pin was free to me!
Until next time, be cute!
