If you’re a frequent online shopper, you’ve probably seen advertisements featuring trendy clothing at prices that are almost too good to be true. But what do those popular styles look like in person? Does the cheap price also mean poor quality?

If you’re in the market for some fresh finds for summer, Vazquez offered additional suggestions from each of the retailers she liked. Read on for some of her picks and follow her on Instagram for more!
