While we definitely pride ourselves on keeping up with current trends, the cold hard truth is that clothes can get pretty expensive. Shelling out half our paycheck for an of-the-moment, fringed crop top that might not even be in style next Summer? We'd rather save our money for something special. So we decided to put a cap on our spending this season: we'll purchase just one piece from each trending style — including a pair of strappy sandals, something with fringe detail, a bohemian maxi dress, a pair of culottes, a crop top, a denim skirt, a figure-flattering one-piece, and a pair of overalls or a jumpsuit — but the total can't top $500. Keep scrolling to see what we found, and then shop your favorite piece from each category without fear of going over budget. Source: POPSUGAR Photography
