10 Affordable Summer Outfits
Wide Stripe Shorts

Now that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale dates have officially been announced it’s inevitable that fall clothing is going to start hitting stores soon. I KNOW. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get used to the aggressively early seasonal retail shifts. If only we could press pause!

I personally have no plans to exit summer mode anytime soon thanks to all the cute, wallet-friendly shorts, dresses and jumpsuits I’ve been scoring on Nordstrom.com. It’s been very sunny and HOT almost every day for the last two weeks so I’ve been living in outfits that are comfortable and keep me cool. Here are few of my favorite finds!

These shorts just scream summer! I had to have them. Look at those big retro stripes! I also really appreciate the sturdy, wrinkle-resistant fabric too. This would be a great pair to bring on vacation or to pack in your beach/weekender bag! PS these come in a pretty peachy color too.

All In Favor Lilac High Low Dress

OUTFIT DETAILS // High Low Midi Dress | Saint Laurent Bag | Ankle Strap SandalsMichele Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

I’m always getting asked for affordable cocktail and summer event dress recommendations. This one fits the bill PERFECTLY. Such a good price and it’s a style that would be flattering on all body types! I’m wearing a XS and my height is 5’5″.

Pink Bow Shorts

OUTFIT DETAILS // Pink Shorts | White Tank | Faux Leather Tote | Michele Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

I didn’t expect to like these pink bow shorts as much as I do! I actually got this pair before my trip to Nantucket and wore them one of the days I was there. Completely obsessed! I wish you could feel the fabric– so soft and amazing quality. I was afraid the almost-Bermuda length would look dated and straight out of the 90s, but I was totally wrong! These look so chic and pretty when worn with a white tank or camisole.

Stripe Linen Jumpsuit

Love a white jumpsuit with a twist! Can’t get enough of the understated tan stripes and open back on this linen cutie. The straps are adjustable too! #smallboobproblems

OUTFIT DETAILS // Navy Stripe Maxi Dress | Faux Leather Tote | White Leather Slides | Michele Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

Looking for a 4th of July dress that won’t break the bank? I found it! This breezy navy maxi doubles as a swim coverup too!

Scallop Shorts

Scallop trim. Enough said!

Colorblock Maxi Dress

OUTFIT DETAILS // Colorblock Cover Up Dress | Sandals | Tote Bag | Michele Watch | David Yurman Bracelets | Kendra Scott Bar Necklace

Isn’t orange and pink the prettiest combo? I immediately had to scoop up this coverup when I saw it online. PS the fabric is very thin so I definitely would only wear this over a swimsuit.

Blue Polka Dot Pants

OUTFIT DETAILS // Polka Dot Wide Leg Pants | White Tank | Faux Leather Tote | White Leather Slides | Michele Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

Polka dot paper bag waist pants… Try saying that 3x fast! The under $50 price tag on these lightweight party pants made ’em a no brainer. These look fab paired with a fitted tank or bodysuit on top!

Topshop Polka Dot Shorts

OUTFIT DETAILS // Polka Dot Shorts | Black V-Neck T-Shirt | Stripe Straw Tote | Ankle Strap SandalsMichele Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

I ordered these polka dot shorts thinking I’d only style them casually for everyday, but these work great for evening as well! Just pair with a black top or tank and your favorite pair of heels and you’re set for date night or the bar.

Roxy White Tie Front Dress

OUTFIT DETAILS // White Dress | White Leather Slides | Stripe Straw ToteMichele Watch | David Yurman Bracelets

Can’t stop won’t stop buying all the little white dresses! I didn’t feel too guilty about adding this tie front dress to my cart thanks to the price tag. LOVE the front pockets!
