Let's keep it brief: Pretty things never go out of style. From sickeningly white maxi skirts to girly outfit adornments, there's always something out there to elevate your outfit into something adorable. While summer fashion often feels the same year after year, there's something special about buying a sweet touch to add into your wardrobe. Frankly, it's hard not to. My heart starts to skip a beat when I see a strand of $60 freshwater pearls

Although my unofficial summer uniform consists of timeless basics and simple color palettes, I've been experimenting more and more with under-$100 accessories to make me feel like the prettiest girl in the world. Who wouldn't be into that? Below, I've compiled a list of irresistible affordable pretty finds I know would get dozens of compliments on my next night out. Don't believe me? Just scroll and see for yourself.
