Back to school means one thing for most girls:NEW CLOTHES!
So I did all the work for you and went on popular websites and pulled together some first day of school outfits for $50 or less!
American Eagle
Now this was hard. They are pretty expensive so as you can see $50 does not get you much. Also I like very few things from AE. It is kind of a hit or miss for me. I love the boho, live free lifestyle they represent but I only really love their denim and accessories and dresses.
This outfit came to $49.85
Everything here is from the clearance section. I chose the shorts because of the awesome tie-dye effect! It helps play up basics and way cooler than normal denim. The tank is flowy and pretty, reat for summer. It has a neat lace design on the back which I really love.
Forever 21
One of my favorite stores and I'm sure most of you love this place too! I did two outfits using shorts.
This outfit came to $49.80.
I love acid wash! So awesome and way better than plain denim. This tank also has a lace design on the shoulders and back, very feminine and flirty.
This outfit came to $45.40
I fell in love with these shorts! They are cotton not denim. They also come with the belt! Score! The shirt is a basic v-neck (I live in these) and for $6 it beats AA!
You can find so many things at Forever 21 to make a $50 or less outfit and also buy far more than the 5 items I chose for $50. I wanted to make a complete look for you! Your whole back to school wardrobe can come from here and you'll still have money for the movies!
Most of the store's basics start at just $2.50! So it's okay if you get some paint on them during art class.
I would recommend buying from them via the Internet. There is far more to choose from. I like going in the store but most of the things I want are never there or never in my size.

I used to love this store but haven't bought much from them lately because the prices have skyrocketed! I could barely find a cami for under $15..their highest is $35...for a cami!
This outfit came to $47.47
I found the skirt first and then took colors out of it for the cami and cardi. I wanted it to be really colorful and playful but you could also but a black cami under instead. Everything was in the clearance section except the headband.
Urban Outfitters
Absolutely love UO like most people. They are expensive but their sales make up for that!
This outfit came to $49.60
Everything was in the sales section. I liked keeping it neutral and then added some color with the ring and the gold in the sandal. I wanted to put a heel with it but none fit in the price range and I know I would not walk around campus all day in heels.
Set a budget for yourself this year when back to school shopping. AND STICK TO IT!
I have been one of those people who spend a lot a money of clothes and feel like I bought nothing. Take the time and search the sales. I promise it will be worth it!
