Save vs. Splurge Elevated casual summer style

This elevated casual summer style is giving me major European vibes. It’s effortlessly chic and such fun neutrals! Such a fun save vs. splurge look to dive into.

The look- a classic white button down is such a great option to have in your closet. Easily dresses up an otherwise casual outfit. Pair it with some cut off jean shorts, strappy slides, a straw hat, and crossbody. You’ve got one chic little get up! Wear for your day, wear for a girls trip, wear for a winery day, wear literally anywhere! One of those looks that will fit in almost anywhere!

Now, this save look is still on the spendy side. But, here me out. The priciest item is the hat. I could have found a less expensive option. But, I wanted to share this one because it’s so good and while still an investment it’s a great classic that can be worn for years to come.

Still the price difference in the save vs. the splurge is considerable. A $798 price difference between the two looks. I also felt more comfortable with a bit of a splurge with this save option because they’re all pieces that are neutral, classic, and able to be worn over and over again.
