I’m lucky enough to live next to one of those J Crew Outlet stores. In fact, I have one just a few miles from my house. I also have a Gap Outlet and a Banana Republic outlet super close by. In other words, I buy all the things all year long.
My husband LOVES IT and when I say that I am using the most sarcastic voice possible. Whatever – I do. The entire family gets outfitted for greatly discounted prices all while staying on-trend.
It’s good for our budget and it’s good for my addiction.
I mean… for my entertainment.
Same difference.
Because the weather is finally turning, I decided to pick up a few summer pieces and get ready for the warmer season. Check out these adorable scalloped shorts and peplum top. The entire look – top and bottom – ran me under $40.

In this link, you will find a variety of colors and styles from the J Crew Outlet. If you don’t like the checkered shorts I am wearing, you will find a variety of solid colors as well. But one thing is certain – all the shorts I chose have scalloped bottoms because I absolutely love the detail! Such a feminine touch to it all, right?
I think that shorts like these from the J Crew Outlet can be dressed up or down depending on your accessories. If you opt for a pair of heels or wedges – that would truly change the vibe of your style. Here are a few options for you to consider.
Wedges Vs. Heels

These two pair of shoes are not from the J Crew Outlet, but I still wanted to give you these links. I kept both styles SUPER neutral because that way you can wear them with any color or style. You don’t have to choose beige – go crazy if you want. But I wanted to post a very simple base to please the masses.
Dolce Vita Shae Wedge Sandal – Women’s – White Faux Leather
Steve Madden – Stecy
I literally own both of these styles.
Summer Bag
I love to use natural fabrics when thinking about summer bags. Nobody needs to carry sweaty pleather in June. Here’s another major confession. I usually get these type of bags in stores like TJ Maxx, Target and the J Crew Outlet. I don’t want to spend a ton of money on an item I know is going to get thrown around. During these months, I spend my time at the pool, the beach, or running to take a ferry to Fire Island. That means my summer bag gets whipped around quite a bit. My winter bags can’t handle that kind of action. Woven straw can take a punch.

Jewelry
Again – have a little fun with your accessories. Bangles and baubles. Bright and bold gems and stones. Or you could even go after whites and blacks. The bigger the statement the better. I am in love with these earrings from Target.
