Okay guys we're just kidding, we didn't reaaaally spend all that on just one outfit! Sorry we tricked you, hows about we make it up buy showing you how to get this effortless look for less!
This is part of a series where we browse the shops to see what's in at the min, come up with an outfit inspired by what we've seen by raiding our closet!
Our alternative for the sandals were a steal at £10 at Oasis in the summer sale last year.
Once the summer is over head to the shops as many of them over stock and there will be loads left for the sales!
This is our charity shop dupe of the Topshop bag above.
The dress was also from the charity shop at steal at only £3.99!
The belt was part of a another dress, it's always nice to chop and change to see what accessories can be paired with other outfits!
Tan has been a favourite of ours this summer and we thought what better way of incorporating it in this look than to have the accessories carrying this colour through.
This little beauty was bought as a gift in Italy on a market stall and it is made impeccably. The intricate details are very similar in style to the one from New Look.
Lip Swatch Of MUA's Sweet Kiss Love Hearts Collection 10g of product for £2.50
This is our lip product suggestion. Even in the summer our lips can still get chapped and dry from the hot sun. We have found that this gives us the right amount of hydration we need without being too greasy or worse yet, sticky!
A subtle vanilla scent and a pop of pink, it compliments this look, giving your makeup a fresh healthy appearance.
The complete outfit! Its very simple and goes to show you still look chic in charity shop finds, it's all about having the confidence to do so!
So, what's the verdict?
Tweet us and let us know your favourite things to wear this summer!
Hope everyone's enjoying the weather, stay tuned as coming up next is "A low calorie chocolate icecream treat"
Toodles for now (:
