A few fun summer things from Forever 21 that won’t break your budget:
- Ikat Shorts, $17.80
- Spiked Macrame Bracelet, $6.80
- Linen-Blend Tunic Dress, $15.80
- Georgette Peasant Top, $24.80
I wear denim shorts a lot during the summer. It helps to think of styling them the same way you would skinny jeans: a slouchier top usually looks better and 3/4 length sleeves are more flattering than a super short sleeve or cap sleeve. (But cap sleeves are never flattering so that’s a moot point.) Most of the time heels with denim shorts are a little too Coyote Ugly for me, but if you’re worried about your legs looking too short, a small wedge (less than 2”) is a good option. Otherwise, a t-strap sandal or any sandal with minimal straps will help your legs look longer.
All American Eagle’s shorts are less than $25 today. Here are four pairs I like.

Speaking of shorts: this great pair of Madewell shorts is also on sale, for $39.50 (from $59). I like them cuffed as shown, but the hem was left unfinished (jorts-style) if you prefer a longer short length.
I like the cut of these striped shorts from Express. They’re marked down today to $34.93 (from $50).
I have several pairs of Old Navy shorts and they are some of my favorites. You can take an extra 15% off today (with code ONEXTRA15). The code is also now applicable to already-discounted denim and baby sale items.

I always get one question per summer from someone who needs to find a “tropical” print dress to wear to a casual themed wedding and they can’t find one that’s not a sarong. If that is you this summer, this Mango dress ($69.99) is a good option.
On another note: finding a pair of slouchy denim shorts that aren’t Daisy Dukes but don’t look sloppy can be tricky, but I’m liking the looks of Mango’s $39.99 pair above right. (The styling is perfect too.)

I know, I know. Rompers. They’re kinda terrible. But when it’s 105 degrees outside or I want something a little more substantial for a swimsuit cover-up, they’re the best. Also great for slug-lifeing around the house. This Old Navy jersey one is only $19.94, available in five other colors/prints and you can take an extra 20% off today with code ONLADIES20.
