Chic for Cheap: Bridal Shower

Melissa and I have been having so much fun with our Chic for Cheap outfit challenges and we love what you've been coming up with too!  Last week reader Jos requested a bridal shower inspired look... and I have to admit that I struggled with this one a bit.  I found all sorts of sweet skirts and dresses that would lend themselves perfectly to a bridal shower look... but I'm a jeans girl though and through, so my finished ensemble had to reflect that.  I also decided to pick out a gift that was ultimately inspired by the look I put together.  I hope you like it... and as always we'd love for you to play along using Polyvore or your own image editing software (just leave a link to your finished image in the comment section here or on the Melissa Loves blog).  xo Ez

Perfect picks! I agree about jeans. Though I've been in the beauty and fashion biz for about ten years, I rarely step out of my jeans.

Love those shoes...really really love them

[Amy]

It's a great ensemble, the pendant and shoes are awesome. Jeans and a cute top is just such an easy-going outfit, really. Nothing beats it, in my opinion.



Except, if it were up to me, At least one of those items would be some sort of INSANE COLOR because I couldn't handle ALL GRAY! ^_^

[Meiling]

I loooove that top but there are no sizes left! :(

fabulous! I love a great monochromatic palate. Very elegant and modern.
