Happy Thursday everyone!

I was recently challenged to shop at Marshalls for clearance items and put together a couple looks for the summer.

Challenge accepted.

This was a pretty easy task for me because I love combing through sales and clearance racks for items that are too small (I’m petite) or for designer goodies. If it’s designer, I buy it (regardless of the size) and have it tailored.

** Trust me, it’s worth the extra $ to have it taken in – especially if it’s a good quality item. Plus, it will look great on your body because it’s tailored to fit you – exactly how you want it to!

I may or may not have shrieked in excitement when I spotted this pair of Hudson bell-bottom jeans, regularly priced at $199 for $64.

I paired them with a boho blouse, regularly priced at $78 for $29.

For my next look, I took these shorts (priced at $10) and paired them with a baby blue crop top from Forever 21.

I love how these Elie Tahari sandals, regularly priced at $56 for $28, compliment this fresh look.

This look was one of my favorites. I found this dress in “The Cube” section for $12 and despite it being a little big, thought it looked great with nude sandals and a simple bag.
