Summer is coming and here are just a few looks that I have put together using some great budget-friendly finds.  Have you shopped at Joe Fresh or heard of the brand? Up until the other day, I typically associated it with being in JCPenney stores, but there is a standalone Joe Fresh store. I checked out the Joe Fresh online store - and I was amazed at how many cute things they offer at a really reasonable price (around the $20 price point), like this striped summer dress for under $20 or striped flip flops - only $4.  Right now, they have a promotion that if you spend $125, you get a $50 voucher towards your next purchase.



MY SHOPPING BAG
  • I have been looking for a tan/brown summer sandals.  Recently, I bought this pair of wedge sandals and this one - both on sale. I was so excited to get them - I thought for sure one of them would work out.  I knew as soon as I put them on I would get blisters and not be comfortable.  So, unfortunately, they are going back even though they are really cute. (They may work for some.) I have debated getting this pair because I thought the elastic might be more comfortable, but I am waiting for them to go on sale - at least 50% off - and more like 75% off.
  • I have been watching these sandals (in the yellow/green neon color) - and wouldn’t you know they went on price-matching sale Monday at Nordstrom and sold out (except they seem to hav a pair left in coral)! If you are looking for flat gladiator sandals, you might want to check them out.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
"If you believe something, other people will believe it, too. You can’t convince someone else— whether it’s a potential employer, a loan officer at the car dealership, or someone you’ve been crushing on— that you’re amazing and terrific if you don’t actually think you are."

This quote is from the book I am reading - #GIRLBOSS - I had watched an interview about Sophia Amoruso a few years ago, and was interested to read about her story of how she started her business, Nasty Gal (vintage-inspired women's clothing shop - named after the 1975 Betty Davis album - in case you are unfamiliar or wondering).  If you ever wanted to know the history behind Zappos, I also enjoyed reading Delivering Happiness - which talks about the culture behind the business.
