What many students will come to realize is that shopping online can actually be a lot cheaper than heading to a local mall…that is if it is done right. This method also saves gas and time, if anyone is interested in doing school work.

This week, I’ve found a pair of dark brown shorts (Sharkskin Shorts) from CharlotteRusse.com that are originally $22.99 but on sale for $14.99 online. This offer is not available at the store. The cost of shipping is $5.99 plus tax.

So you may be thinking the total seems to duplicate the original price, right? Well, if you buy more from these online stores, you can usually get a lower or even free shipping rate.

Moving on. To finish off the Sharkskin Shorts, I checked out Metroparkusa.com. I usually hesitate to go into the store since they’re a bit pricey but I love the clothes. They’re edgy with a sort of hip hop feel.

But I actually found one of their more feminine tops to compliment the shorts. It’s a bronze beaded v-neck in black for $29.99. It’s loose and airy, perfect for those summer nights.

Pair these items with your favorite sandals or flats. The night is still young ladies!

This Plenty by Tracy Reese strapless top makes me think of a warm summer night. The Cayenne Plaid (shown) would be flattering on most skin tones, but the top also comes in Sun Plaid, a bright yellow with brown tones, which would be great after you achieve a bit of a summer glow.

This top is easy to wear with jeans, ballet flats, or pair with heels if you’re going out later.  The contrast of patterns says enough so I would keep the jewels to minimum. If you must accessorize, gold would probably look best.
