First outfit of the long-awaited season begins with a sleeveless cotton spandex crop top from one of my fave consignment shops, Plato's Closet (www.platosclosetlaurel.com). It was truly a great $4 find and can go with so many other bottoms, but I chose to rock it with a super comfy maxi skirt found at a local flea market for $10. Ivory vintage-looking sunnies, gold-tone "bamboo" hoop earrings, layered wood bracelets (all finds at my local beauty supply store!) and my fave espadrille wedges complete the ensemble.
The crown braid, a great youthful look for summer, topped it all off. It can be done on a variety of hair types and ethnicities and, with a bit of practice, is relatively easy to achieve.
The overall effect is casual, comfy and chic. Entire ensemble cost under $50! Who says you have to spend lots of cash to be fashionable? Certainly not me:)
You can get in on the frugal deals too! To find a Plato's Closet near you, just go to www.platoscloset.com and check your local listings.
"Here comes the sun..." Enjoy the season and happy shopping! Wear sunblock and spend wisely;)
