There’s nothing I like more than a good bargain!  My mom always said I had champaign taste on a beer budget, so to satisfy my thirst I need a good clearance sale!  Now that summer is almost here its time to refresh the wardrobe.  Pull out those summer items packed away, get rid of the too worn, and add in some new items that work with what you already have.

I’ve been wanting just a solid black maxi in a more casual material that I can dress up or down.  On a random trip to target I found this one on clearance for user $20.  I didn’t necessarily want a high low hem (I really wanted a slit) but the price was right!  It also fit well, the top was cut how I wanted, and the material was good.  Cha-ching!  Deal done!

As I’ve brought out all my summer items from winter storage I remembered these blue snakeskin espadrille heels, and how comfy they are!  For a decent sized heel I can walk ALL DAY, yes ALL DAY in these.  Plus they’re just the right pop of color for my black maxi summer look.  Even better, they’re on clearance for ONLY $16.99!  Seriously, $17 for some comfy and cute sandals… deal!  You can the get these mark. Stand Back Heels at my eBoutique now through May 29th.  (last seen here! with the mark. shift and swing dress also currently on clearance at by eBoutique)

In addition to the mark. Stand Back Heels I also brought back my favorite summer jewelry from mark. last year and and mixed and matched it with my favorite mark. jewelry from this year for a fresh new summer arm party.  I’m wearing the mark. Glimmer and Gleam bracelet set, mark. Sparkle In A Snap Bracelet and Nail This Look Ring Set with the shade Seafoam on my nails.  All available at http://www.youravon.com/aliciahessinger

I absolutely love a simple black dress accessorized in shades of blue and turquoise for summer.  It feels chic without trying too hard.  I also love me a good clearance find, its like I won a prize and that prize is a killer summer outfit!
