6 UNDER $50 SUMMER MUST-HAVES

Over 40 fashion blogger wearing a bright yellow summer dress as one the best under $50 summer must-haves.

I always love finding budget-friendly pieces that look way more expensive than they really are!  This proves that you don’t always have to spend an arm and a leg to look stylish and chic.  I look for certain things when I’m picking out clothing to ensure it doesn’t LOOK CHEAP no matter what the price.

A few things I look for are the quality of the fabric (I never choose anything that is going to wrinkle), the color is important (neutrals and brights tend to look more luxe) and finally I tend to pick solids over loud prints because solids always look more expensive.

So if you love finding things that look expensive but won’t break the bank then keep scrolling because I’m sharing 6 amazing pieces featured in 4 fabulous summer looks guaranteed to take you many places in style this summer.

LIME GREEN TANK:

The first item on my list of the best under $50 summer must-haves is this lime green tank. I’ve written about dopamine dressing before ( wearing bright colors will physiologically boost your mood) and this tank and matching skirt are great examples. I love the ribbed material that makes it look far more expensive than it is and the collar detail as well. I’m wearing an XS in this summer staple.
