5 Under $50: Mouse's Picks

Today's guest post comes from the clever Mouse of Good Mouse, Bad Mouse, and Souris Mariage. Mouse is so generous that she gave us six picks instead of five!

My summer style is all about looking fresh and feeling pretty, without spending too many chickens. Therefore, I look for serviceable but cheap basics and then I scour sales for accessories to liven them up. Here's an example outfit that dresses up or down - and more importantly, protects you from overly vigorous air-conditioning - and lets you feel put-together without feeling fussy. Works just as easily for a regular day out doing errands or hopping around looking at tide pools on a honeymoon or having drinks at a sidewalk cafe. Awesome shades not included.
