Happy Tuesday, ladies! Summer is officially here. I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. I was lucky enough to have the whole gang together Saturday and Sunday. We went and saw Top Gun: Maverick---highly recommended. Did Tom Cruise single-handedly save the Summer blockbuster genre? Maybe, just maybe.

This weekend, I ran my Summer Essentials Every Woman Should Own. I'm continuing on with that theme today, but altering it slightly: I went back and picked my budget Summer essentials. In addition to today's OOTD, I've got my 9 budget essentials from Walmart, Target, J.Crew Factory, and more.

The Summary

Budget Summer Essentials Every Woman Should Own

1. Polka Dot Blouse

(Scoop at Walmart)

The Scoop line available online at Walmart is run by American fashion designer Brandon Maxwell. His luxury line is carried in Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, and online. In 2021 Brandon was named Creative Director for the elevated but affordable lines Free Assembly and Scoop. Brandon has a firm belief that style is attainable at all price points and I firmly agree!

3. Crescent Crossbody

(Scoop at Walmart)

How cute is this crescent crossbody bag? I went matchy-matchy today and paired my bag with my blouse. But the bag comes in two different colors if you're looking for something with more color.
