Q. Is it still ok to wear my black leather hobo bag, or is it too heavy for summer? Can you recommend some more summery styles to wear every day? I don’t want to spend a lot on a summer bag. Thanks!
A. While not necessarily a faux pas, a black leather bag tends to look a bit heavy next to lightweight summery clothes. There’s no rule that says you should replace it, but if you’re in the mood to lighten up, here are some chic summery bags that are perfect for everyday and under $100:
Q. I am always on the hunt for alternatives to a classic t-shirt to wear in the summer with skirts and shorts. Can you recommend some that are under $50?
A. With all the pretty t-shirts available this summer featuring embellishments, ruffles and more, there’s no reason to settle for a plain t-shirt anymore (unless, of course, you want to!) Here are some pretty options, all under $50:

Q. I’m looking for skinny cargo pants for the summer to pull off a fun casual vibe without resorting to jeans. I’d love to mix the edginess of the cargos with flirty heels and cute tops, any suggestions that won’t break the bank?
A. We love this look for summer too, but the ultra-hot J Brand Houlihan is a bit pricey at $230. Here are some options under $100 that will look amazing with heels and a pretty top:
Q. I found this beautiful green dress to wear to my father’s wedding in July. It is a daytime wedding in New York City so the style is a sort of summertime chic. I am not sure what shoes fit with this dress. Black seems too nighttime and wedges seem too casual. Also most of the styles I find have ankle straps and I don’t want to cut off my already short legs. Any suggestions?
A. Your best bet is a barely-there strappy sandal in a light or metallic color. Here are some leg lengthening options that won’t break your budget:
Q. I bought a black lace skirt that’s above the knee and a bit form fitting, what do I wear (top, shoes, jewelry) so it doesn’t look clubbish or trashy?
A. Take inspiration from these looks below and try pairing your short lace skirt with a soft t-shirt, tank or blouse to add some laid-back casual flair. Wedge heels or chunky black sandals complete the look. When the weather gets cooler, you can add a boyfriend blazer on top of the t-shirt or tank, black opaque tights and booties.
