good look for less: Abby!

It's been a while since I have posted a good look for less wardrobe consult here... so I figured it's high time! Today's looks were for a reader, Abby, she had purchased a consult from me earlier this spring and was back for more - I love repeat customers! (It means I am dong my job right!)

This time Abby had some specific events that she wanted outfits for... she and her husband had a college reunion that they would be attending this summer and she also wanted casual looks for summer bbqs and parties.

She had a $250 budget... I think we really knocked it out of the park with that budget! Here's her shopping list: (click for details)


In general I chose a few bold colors and then supplemented with neutrals. That is a great formula for summer dressing!

Let's look at the outfits now...

For a more dressy look for the reunion I chose this fun halter style dress. I love this style dress on many different body types... usually our shoulders are one of our best features. This outfit is simple but sophisticated. Love it!

Simplicity is key for summer... a fresh look like this one, with the casual white button up, scarf and sandals, is so easy but so chic for any summer occasion.

You all most likely know how I feel about white pants. They add instant pizazz to any outfit. Imagine this outfit with jeans... it wouldn't be nearly as fun and summery feeling. This is a great casual social outfit... or even a business casual outfit for many work places.


The best thing about dressing for summer is that a few simple wardrobe pieces and some great shoes and accessories is all you need. There aren't a lot of layering challenges like for the cooler season. This is a great example: a simple tank and jeans and then simple accessories and it's very put together and stylish!


Happy Shopping Abby!
