King of Prussia Mall®

When shopping, I tend to think in terms of price per wear. When I make a purchase I want to make sure it's a piece I'll get some mileage out of. I think of if I have items to wear with it in my already-existing wardrobe. I think about variations on styling. And I think about seasons too. Can I wear it only for one season, stretch it into another, or even keep for multiple years?

So I decided to pick a piece plain enough to be a palette for many stylish looks, but also pretty enough to stand on its own. This pink shirt dress from The Gap is under $60 and the hot hue makes it feel special. 

Tag: Dress, $58 at Gap.

For Day

Easter isn't too far off, so I decided to pink a pretty pastel abg and blazer to make a colorful work look. I opted for a classic black heel with a point toe to add some old school class (so Mad Men!), and picked an animal-print cuff to add a little wild touch to this work-wear look.

Style & Co Blazer, $35 at Macy's.

Wild Side Wide Bangel, $68 at J. Crew.

Evan Bag, $220 at Banana Republic.

Point-Toe Heel, $25 at Payless.

For Night

Add on the glam with studs and leather. This fashionista look takes the pink dress in a whole new direction. This metallics have been huge on the red carpet so we're adding them in using accessories. And as for the moto jacket, it's the perfect topper to add a little edge to your style!

Olsenboye Glitter Platform Sandals, $45 at JCPenney.

Moto Jacket, $38 at Forever 21.

Kimchi Bag, $49 at Urban Outfitters.

Stone Necklace, $98 at Juicy Couture.

Spring is here and so are the light airy colors. Mint, lilac, peach, and powder blue are on our fashion radar. These springtime style trends don't have to cost a fortune. I've scoured the mall and found a whole lot in these top-trending shades for under $50! I know, pretty good. 

Make a statement. This Arden B Necklace says it all and will make any outfit stand out!

If you thought mint was hot last year, then take a gander and these two fresh fashions. 

This tube dress from American Apparel is great to wear a top tucked into a skirt. Or switch it up with a jean vest on top. 

This Forever 21 top is under $25 and is embellished with studs. Talk about being a tough girl!

Seeing Spots! Snag this wallet for under $25 at Urban Outfitters.

Diane von Furstenberg's collaboration with Roxy def makes the surfer girl more stylish! This bag is meant to hold your bikini and retails for $38 at Nordstrom.

Polka dots are clearly in style, just take a look at Taylor Swift on any given day. Also, pants are the new statement piece. Plus, their pastel! These pants are a triple-trend win! Plus they're under $25! I know, amazing!

And for the classic and cool girl, this relaxed tee from Banana Republic is perfect for a casual Friday under a blazer, or running errands on the weekend.
