Wardrobe | Fab under $50

INDIANAPOLIS - You don’t have to have the blues to look fabulous in blue hues this summer. One of the staple seasonal shades, its light, airy quality gives any outfit a hint of cool.

Blue is one of those colors that I feel attracted to because it elicits a sense of trust and comfort. Reminiscent of clear skies and deep ocean waters, a combo of shades can really help you create a fantastic summer ensemble.

Whether its work or play, stay cool with these Fab under $50 fashion finds this summer.

The Classic:

This fun, yet prim outfit is great for more formal functions, such as dinner with the parents or a warm, summer wedding.

The simple, small polka dot on the dress gives the idea of whimsy with an old-school cut and design. Match with the contrasting polka dot bangle or even stripes and this outfit really comes together.

The Bohemian:

Comfy cotton drapes loose and free with this blue t-shirt shift – a perfect pairing for summery nights on friends’ patios or poolside. This ensemble also works well for casual evenings out to dinner, yet still cool enough for the summer music festivals.

The vintage silk-print scarf, tribal beaded bracelet and gladiator sandals complete this look with eclectic and artistic flair.

The Whimsical:

Stay cool and protect yourself from harmful rays, so don’t forget the hat!
