Today is about purple and orange...and your budget!

First, I always want to start with today's color inspiration. I am always amazed at what we are able to find in nature. This flower is so beautiful on its own. Nature will always produce the most perfect color combinations.


Now I am thinking of those of us on a budget. It's funny because we look in the magazines and we see things that claim to be for those of us on a budget, and they produce a $400 outfit instead of $3000. Although I realize that putting together an outfit with all of the accessories is always an expensive venture, I did my best to budget this one as best I could. My hope is that some of the staples (white shorts) may already exist in your closet!




Pink Tank Top: JCrew $39.50
