Some of my Favorite and Funnest Fashions!

[I definitely used to be one of those people who would NEVER mix patterns, but recently, I've become more bold in my fashions and found that I lovelovelove this look a lot!  The shirt was only 8 dollars at Kmart and the bright greens looked great with my reddish hair and my favorite skirt which was only 10 dollars on clearance at Delias!  I paired it with a long boyfriend cardigan from Wet Seal which was also on sale for only 10 dollars and some brown footless sweater tights from Sears and my favorite pair of boots which are tan above the ankle cloth and have buckles and straps and were 20 dollars from Target.Com.  Later on, I added a cute skinny hot pink headband which had a small sequined flowers and a pearl and was probably only a dollar from a Drug Store.  You could certainly take away the sweater and boots and tights and maybe add a fun belt or some fun jewelry to make this a great summer outfit!]
[Another favorite of mine is this floral dress which was only 12 dollars at Dots and came with the belt!  It's got short poofy sleeves too and a ruffle at the bottom, so it could definitely look cute without the sweater too.  And the sweater was on clearance at Target, so it was probably pretty inexpensive too.  Floral prints have been a favorite of mine this Spring and I will wear them this Summer as well.  I just really love the femininity of it!  I used to wear solid colored dresses with solid colored sweaters and solid colored shoes and realized I really needed some patterns to tie my outfits together.  A floral dress is an easy piece to use for this since it's much easier to find that than a patterned sweater or shoes or belt.  I paired this with some black flats my mom gave me, but it would look great with sandals or boots and some black or white or grey tights could be added for a colder weather look too!]
[More floral!  I really love blue with my reddish hair and it's a great color for all seasons!  This dress was on clearance at Forever 21 was a mere 7 dollars and it looks great with a white, yellow,or green sweater.  This sweater was only 5 dollars on clearance at Target and my long beaded necklace was a Christmas present from a friend from Wet Seal.  The boots are my favorites- the ones from Target with the buckles.  The tights are footless tights from Forever 21 which were only 4.50 and the flower in my hair was maybe 3 or 4 dollars from Claire's (which is a great place to find fun accessories!)  I matched the leggings and necklace and flower, but you could definitely make this a summer look with a short sleeved sweater and a belt and some gladiator sandals and a brighter flower.  I've worn this dress every season with all different pieces, so have fun with the look!  Also, the dress has pockets which I loveeee!!]
[This is not a great picture since it was taken on my phone, but I got a lot of compliments on this outfit and I love the colors, because I love blue on me and I love purple in general!  The sweater is the same one I wore with the floral dress from Dots.  The tank top was on clearance for 7 dollars at Delias.  The undershirt is from Wet Seal and it was no more than 10 dollars.  The skirt is a Miley Cyrus from Wal-Mart that I got on clearance for only 5 dollars and the tights are navy blue and were bought at Sears and the boots are purple ankle boots with ruffles on the sides from Selena Gomez' Dream Out Loud collection at Kmart and I don't believe they were more than 20 dollars.  The flower was handmade and I bought it at an Art Market at my school for only 5 dollars.] 
[This is one of my FAVORITE dresses!  I bought it at Wet Seal for only 15 dollars and I've worn it with so many different pieces for all 4 seasons.  My favorite is to wear this green sweater seen with my blue floral dress above and a long necklace like this silver one with a heart charm and pearls and pink bow that I got for only 3 dollars at Aeropostale.  The pink tights bring out the brighter colors in the dress and I just love the way they all go together.  I also love wearing the dress with flats and no leggings or gladiator sandals.  The headband goes well with the blue of the dress, but again, experiment and find what you think looks best, but definitely invest in a floral dress if you like a feminine touch :)]
[Another stripe/floral love of mine.  The tank top was only 4.50 at Forever 21 and the skirt was on clearance for 8 dollars at Wet Seal.  The leggings are 3.50 at Forever 21 and the pearls were from Claire's and a gift from my mom.  I also ended up adding my green cardigan sweater before going out and a medium sized black headband and some silver gladiator sandals.  It's a great look for just hanging out with friends in the summer or Spring or Fall]
[Here's a look I LOVE if I decide to go with a solid colored dress.  The dress was only 13.50 at Forever 21 and can also be a long shirt if you want to pair it with some skinny jeans and a long necklace.  The sweater was about 10 dollars on clearance at Target and I love love love the argyle.  It's great for summer or spring because it has shorter sleeves.  It looks great with grey, blue, white, or black dresses or tops.  I also added the giant bow headband which I believe I got at Claire's but I don't remember the price.  You can find headbands like that for as low as 1.50 at Forever 21 though.  I have a whole bunch of them!  And I also wore some dressy black flip flops with this which you can't see in the picture]
[This sweater also looks great with black and white striped tank top and a lacey maroon skirt I got on clearance at Forever 21 for only 3 dollars!  That's 3 different patterns that I  mixed!! Crazy!  and I wore it with some silver gladiator sandals from Forever 21 that cost about 7 dollars]
[I almost never wear pants, but when I do, I like to make it still look very feminine by wearing long flowy shirts and dressy accessories.  These jeans were on clearance for 8 dollars at Old Navy and my turtle neck was on sale at Delias for 7 dollars I believe and my flower was maybe 4 or 5 dollars from Dots.  And my necklace just a long silver chain with a giant heart shaped charm and was only a few dollars though I can't remember where I bought it.  The top is a sweater material and was from Kohls, but was a handmedown from a friend that no longer liked it, so I do not know the price.  And the boots are again my lovely tan Target boots :).  But I really love layering especially in colder weather, so I buy inexpensive things, so that my outfit can have more pieces for the same price as one dress or top might be full price.  The trick is to buy stuff out of season I think.  Just wait til the weather warms up to buy jeans and long sleeved shirts and for it to cool down to buy summer dresses and boots :)]
[This is a great look for Summer or Spring.  I wore it for a Job interview and got the job!  So i think it's a great girly, but subtle and modest look and it's extremely comfortable.  The skirt was only 12 dollars from Wal-Mart.  The shoes are dark brown flats with a bow that I don't remember the origin of.  The tank top was like 3 or 4 dollars from Dots and the sweater was on clearance at Target for 4 dollars and is knitted but very thin, so it's great for those who are trying to stay modest in the hot sun.  You could also add some tights or leggings and boots and maybe a longer thicker sweater to make this a Winter look if you'd like:)]
