show us your life - fashion tips

I have a couple of things that have become staples in my wardrobe this year, so I thought I would share! 

1. Cardigans, cardigans, and more cardigans

I love cardigans, especially the ultimate cardigan from Gap. I have it in yellow, grey, and purple. I also have a black and a navy cardigan from LOFT. They are great for mixing and matching with various tops. 

2. Ruffled tops

I have bought several tops like this sequin ruffle top from J.Crew to wear under my cardigans. 

3. Ruffle dress for spring

I love anything with ruffles. When I saw this dress at J.Crew, I loved it! I love anything with ruffles, and J. Crew has lots of ruffles right now. I bought this dress in grey, which is an in-store only color. 

4. Frye boots

My Frye boots are my all-time favorite purchase. They are the melissa button boots. I LOVE these. Thankfully, I found them on sale (slightly!), because they are definitely expensive. 

5.  For the spring/summer, woven shoes seem to be popular. I really want these from Banana Republic, but I am waiting for a coupon first. 

J. Crew is one of my favorite stores now, but it can get expensive. They put things on the website on sale fairly often, but sizes go quickly. I found this blog called J.Crew Aficionada that is great! The lady posts lots of coupon codes, product reviews, and sale announcements often. She also hosts a weekly clothing exchange, so people can trade J. Crew clothing. I have never participated, but it sounds interesting!
