I was recently talking to a friend about my style… both for the home and for my wardrobe. So I thought I’d share one of my philosophies on shopping. Because I think I’m a self proclaimed expert at this shopping thing. {wink!}
I recently came across this INCREDIBLE amazing skirt from Free People on one of my recent visits to Nordstrom Rack. I wasn’t looking for a skirt, especially a pink, fluffy, tulle cotton candy skirt. But it was the only one left and it looked FABULOUS. I SNATCHED it up like the best and last piece of candy in a candy dish!
It’s one of those pieces I can keep in my closet and wear it so many ways for so many things, believe it or not.
I paired it with a FABULOUS tank top from….. TARGET. You’d never know that was from Target because of the very cool black on black print. Wore an amazing necklace from Liberte’, fab shoes I’ve had in my closet that are classics by Elie Tahari (an alternative), and a basic gold Jimmy Choo clutch (similar Choo Choo).
Note: Subtle details in the tank top, the wowzer factor in the skirt, and the accessories are a minimum but still enough to pull it all together. Designer brands are just the extras.
Here’s the key thing to know about this…
When you find unique and fabulous pieces especially at great prices, snatch em up. Stick em in your closet. Then you’ll have that SPECIAL thing to wear when an occasion comes up. You don’t have to buy a whole look that sits on a mannequin in a store front. Mix it up to make it interesting and unique and YOU.
I can wear as shown, throw on a jean jacket, wear a white t with it… The options are endless.
What do you think?
I think I love it…..
