Outfit Under £50

Boohoo dress (purchase here) | Boohoo cardigan (purchase here) | Boohoo shoes (purchase here) | Pretty Little Thing necklace (purchase here)

I have a habit of overspending on clothes. For this post I thought I'd try and put together an outfit for under £50.

Here's a rundown of the costs:

Dress - £10 (on sale, down from £15)

Cardigan - £18

Necklace - £4 (on sale, down from £6)

Shoes - £5 (on sale, down from £15)

The total cost amounts to £37. As always, the links to purchase the clothing are above.

As you'll probably have noticed, most of the pieces in this outfit came from Boohoo, which is a great place for cheap clothing if you're on a budget. I'm hoping to put together more of these under £50 outfits in the future, so I'll definitely try and use more of a variety of cost friendly clothing retailers.

The photos featured in this post were taken around Llandudno in north Wales.

Versace Jeans Dress

It was love at first sight with this dress. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. Not only does it look pretty, but it also has very convenient pockets in the side. I wore it to the restaurant, Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias and the photos were all taken around the building. I teamed the dress with a black cardigan from Monsoon and a pair of Ralph Lauren flats. Disappointingly, the cardigan does not have pockets, but it's lovely all the same. The gold buttons are a nice touch.

Ivanka Trump Lace Dress

For this outfit I teamed a lace Ivanka Trump dress with a burgundy cashmere cardigan, burgundy flats and an antique cameo brooch. I love cameo jewellery and I was thrilled to receive this lovely brooch as a present from a family member. Luckily, it fit perfectly with today's outfit.

Embroidered Cardigan

I'm glad that embroidery is making a comeback. I think embroidered clothing is so lovely. Unfortunately I couldn't find the cardigan I'm wearing online anywhere but I've linked a similar one above that I like. I've teamed the cardigan with a pair of high waist khaki trousers (I love khaki and beige together), a white pair of shoes and a white vest top. I find that white tops can be quite see-through sometimes, but it helps to wear a nude coloured bra underneath; it's a lot less visible than a white one.

The pictures were taken in Old Colwyn and Deganwy. The trip to Deganwy gave me a chance to try out the cocktails at The Quay, which is where I am in the last picture.

Orange Floral Dress

Wallis dress (similar) | Tory Burch cardigan (purchase here) | George shoes (similar)

Bright orange clothing isn't everyone's first choice but personally I'm a huge fan. I love bright colours. I bought this dress in a sale at my local BHS and I'm really happy with my purchase. I couldn't find it online anywhere so I've linked a similar one above. I've toned down the boldness of the dress with a neutral pair of shoes and cardigan.

Shoes aren't usually something I spend a whole lot of money on unless I'm feeling dangerous. I'm accident prone and I'm always scuffing them or getting them dirty. I'd much rather pick up a pair of £10 shoes than endure the emotional turmoil associated with ruining an expensive pair. I bought these shoes from Asda; they were cheap, matched my outfit and they've held up pretty well so far.

The photos were taken in Betws-y-Coed where I spent the day with my family.
