(Below - J.Crew tees are my go-to staple, I'm a mom and I like to be comfy without
compromising my style)
(Below: Cashmere tie-front Cardigan from J.Crew. So feminine and soft - so delicious!)
(Below: I'll let you in on a little secret - a great deal of my outwear comes from Old Navy! Believe it or not, each Fall/Winter, they come out with terrific coats! This 3/4 sleeve coat is a throw-back to the 50's, such a fabulous faux vintage find!)
(Below: Another fab find from Old Navy. This paprika colored swing coat is one of my fave purchases of the season. I can't wait to pair it with jeans and boots!)
(Left: Speaking of boots, J.Crew came out with these beautiful cognac colored pair again this year. Lucky for me, I purchased them at the end of the season - at a fraction of the price!)
(Left - Forever 21 has a wide variety of berets this year, such a great little hat to place on your head when you don't have time to fix your hair or touch up those roots! My closet is full of hats)
(Above: Tory Burch Flats - Need I say more? Well um, yes. Truly the best flat ever made. No blisters, thanks to the elastic back!)
(Left: Anthropologie necklace - in case you haven't put the puzzle pieces together - I love vintage and bold!)
(Left: The quintessential blouse! I can't get enough of these ultra feminine ruffle shirts - complements of J.Crew - they look wonderful under all of my cardigans!)
(Below - I don't believe in spending a great deal on trendy items - which is why I purchased this red studded belt from forever 21 - under $10.00. Check out their selection for yourself. You will be happy you did!)
(Below - Joe's Jeans in Muse. I'm a Mom, these jeans have the perfect rise. Sexy, but comfortable! I wear these when I'm going out. However, on an average day you will catch me in Gap Long and Lean - like I said, I'm an equal
opportunity shopper!)Below: Perfect outfit for a Mom who is playing with her kids, picking up in the carpool lane and grocery shopping - Divine!)
Honorable mentions:
I will be forever a leopard wearing girl! J. Crew has a beautiful pencil water colored leopard skirt that is to die for!
Lily Pulitzer is the poster child for "Preppy Wear". I fell in love with the Shauna Tunic (now sold out online) I have a weakness for tunics and dresses)
Nicole Miller's ready wear collection is an old reliable for me. Her line of dresses fit to a "T" and are made to accentuate a woman's figure.
Trends I would like to fall off the racks:
Visible zippers - in a word, "NO"
Tight Rolled Jeans - It was hideous in the 90's and a decade later, guess what?? Still hideous!
Leggings - I know I will get grief for this, but seriously...why???
Finally - The 80's called and they want their garb back. If there was ever a decade of cankerous clothing, hair, make-up and overall trends - it would be the 80's, so I ask why bring it back?
