Desert Leopard

Palm Springs is a desert surrounded with just that, palm trees and tall mountains, which was the inspiration for this outfit (earth tones and animal print). With a hot 90 degrees in Palm Springs, this dress from Cotton On was so lightweight that it felt so comfy. The best part was that I purchased this dress at the end of last summer for $15! I wore it in the fall with some black boots and a black blazer and now I’m going to wear it all summer like this (with sandals)!

Cost Saving Shopping Tip: As the seasons come and go, stores will push out their previous season’s inventory at a VERY reduced price. Take it as an opportunity to stock up on the basics for next season. For example, right now is the time to stock up on jackets and sweaters on MEGA sale at stores like H&M and Forever 21. 

About the Outfit:

Dress: Cotton On (on sale $15)

Sandals: Charlotte Russe (on sale $17 similar here)

Fringe Necklace: H&M

Starfish Cuff: Belina (here)

Cuff: Tory Burch

    I'm so glad you had such a good time in Palm Springs and I can't wait to go back again. This maxi is perfect with that necklace and i love how you did your hair. You look so pretty and that is a really good shopping tip. It's so hard to buy clothes out of season, but I just got this cape from Nordstrom for like $20 and I know I'll be wearing it all the time in the fall. it's definitely worth it. Great post Pau!xoDale

    Love that necklace! I agree with the shopping tip! Recently I was featured on Mavens and Muses and I gave 5 tips on how to shop smart. This tip was one of my top 5. Great minds think alike:) Most of my fall clothing I bought during spring and summer. Here is the link to my feature. I'm sure you agree with my other tips as well:)http://mavensandmuses.com/the-art-of-shopping-smart-f-fashion-with-ellie/Ellie

    Love the maxi dress, I can't believe it was only 15 dollars. Awesome accessories too, the starfish cuff is super cute.
