Yay for May!! – Your Springtime Garden Party Look for Less

Frilly, floral and fun are just three of the words that I think of when considering garden party style. And while you might not have an invite to one… yet, it’s always good to be prepared. Plus you don’t need to party to use as a reason to dress in your best garden party attire. I’ve been inspired by the beautiful weather and am dying to be outside all the time.
Here’s some outfits that I’ve been itching to wear!

Try a simple loose white top with some pretty colored shorts, or even go for a patterned or floral pair if you’re feeling adventerous. Pair with some neutral wedges for a trendy garden party style.
Shorts – $36.50; Top – $15.80; Shoes – $59.95
