Coral Floral

summer cerise skirt + dramatic sleeve 
sweater

I adore the airy sleeves on this sweater so much that I have it in two colors. And when I saw the floral embroidery on this skirt, I knew these two pieces were meant to be worn together. The hard part now will be wanting to wear this skirt with any other top.

Wallet-Friendly Wishlisting

You guys know I browse Shopbop a lot - they carry a ton of different brands and have new stuff in almost daily. But there are some brands that I keep extra tabs on because they are the ones that have loads of cute stuff for affordable prices.

Below are just some of the brands I like to keep tabs on - and their offerings in the below categories are really wallet-friendly - most items are only around or below $100 - so I always check back to see the latest.

And links below are not affiliate ...

Tops from Madewell (and also their shoes and their bags).

shopbop2
Earrings from Shashi (and their bracelets).

shopbop3
Vegan bags from Cynthia Rowley (also Herschel Supply Co. for cute backpacks
or Mar Y Sol for woven bags).

shopbop4
Dresses from English Factory (and their gorgeous tops - or Moon River for more affordable dresses).

shopbop5
Sneakers or flat sandals from Kate Spade (and their phone cases and bracelets).
