I passed on posting a chic for cheap look last week, but I'm happy to be back at it again... this time with a look inspired by the wonderful work of Apak. This print in particular really captured my eye with it's gorgeous colors and sweet bird motif. I have to confess that I was also looking for a way to incorporate this large chunky necklace into an outfit, because huge strands of beads are my latest personal obsession. I think they are the prefect thing to kick a jeans and t-shirt ensemble up a notch or two. The strands I have at home are in aqua blue and kelly green. So much fun.
Of course Melissa and I always love it when you play along, so if you feel inspired to
participate, just leave a link in the comment section below to an
outfit you've put together using Polyvore or your own editing
software. Have fun! Don't forget to check out Melissa's ensemble here.

The Inspiration: Exclusive Catch Limited Edition Print by Apak
The Look: Lightweight Hoodie in white at American Eagle, Elsa V-Neck Tee in orange at Delias, Painted Beads Necklace from Forever 21, 77 Straight Jeans at American Eagle, Gray Teal Bird Wristlet by Drika.B, Suede Ballet Skimmers from Gap.
With Valentine's Day quickly approaching it seemed fitting to have this week's chic for cheap post revolve around the theme of love. I wanted to pull together a look that was flirty and romantic but in a subtle pretty way. I don't know if I succeeded... but I'd wear this look any day!
