Make a statement

Hat

This is definitely one of my "go to" outfits-comfort, ease, & versatility all rolled in to one.  All three clothing pieces featured are staples in my wardrobe and I highly recommend them for their price, quality and maintenance (can I machine wash and dry?!)  I added a glorious statement necklace, comfortable booties (I rock these daily while building displays) and I was ready to go.

 

These pants are my all-time favorites!  They look like new and have been washed & worn more times than I can say.  The Rayon, Cotton, & Spandex blend mean they move with me, are crazy comfortable, and wash beautifully.  Did I mention they're $35?!  H&M hit a home run with these & I've spotted them two years in a row.  The gold hardware really takes these up a notch.  Fingers crossed for more colors.   This Express blazer was a bit of an impulse purchase, but I haven't looked back.  It's an easy one-button closure and I love the comfort, despite needing to dry clean this one (or maybe Dryel at home ;)  Similar jacket can be found here.   Underneath the blazer, is one of the best quality t-shirts I've found.  It's a mystery how most of mine end up with tiny holes in the front, but these haven't yet suffered the same fate, so I can't say enough good things.  A close second for me, are these amazingly inexpensive tees from Forever 21.  These are a little bit thinner, but still soft, and the perfect layering piece (under $4!!).  Pretty impressive color selection in them as well.  I picked up these booties in the Spring on the DSW Clearance rack, but they brought them back for Fall in suede (Check your local DSW sale section for the leather version).

No outfit is complete without accessories.  With that being said, here's the bad news...the  necklace in my pics is sold out.  I know!  I'm sorry...but, I've rounded up a couple of other great options at varying price points above.  If you want to keep an eye on Ebay or Poshmark, this gorgeous piece is called The Raven and was a definite "splurge" item for me!  As for the hat in my first pic, these are everywhere and I couldn't be happier!  I picked mine up at a local boutique, but Nordstrom & Forever 21 have very similar options too.
      

I had a blast talking fashion and catching up with my best friend for these photos and I hope you like them as much as I do.
