It’s no secret that you don’t have to spend a fortune to be fashionable. The trick is knowing where to shop, grabbing those key pieces, as well as those stand-out items. Fashion is all about putting the right combination together. You can own a lot of trendy pieces in your closet but if you’re not coordinating or pairing your outfits right, the end result won’t be as eye-catching. Forever 21 will always be one of my favorite stores for finding cheap yet on trend finds. The trick is being patient and diligent enough in digging through to find the goods 😉 I can literally spend a good two hours in that store and come out with some good finds. Of course it’s hit and miss, but they’re bound to have something most of the time.
These types of sweaters are very in right now and in fact, I just picked one up with a similar neckline. I love simple tops with some sort of twist whether it’s literally a twist 😉 or knot at the bottom, off-shoulder, or a low back line- something that makes it stand out. Like this one – Love it!
This top is SO cheap for what it is. It comes in three colors and can be dressed up or down, layered over or not. A staple for sure.
Pick up a belt like this (five dollars you guys!!!?) and pair it with some skinnies, booties, and a long cardigan- totally in right now!
These jeans are currently 30% off! Not sure how long it will last as they are price matching but it’s a great deal. I love them because they’re high waisted (totally loving the high waisted trend- never ever thought I’d say that!)
I also just picked up this jacket for our trip to Lake Tahoe next week and will be returning the basically identical $150 Topshop one I just bought 😉 See what I mean- Forever 21 for the win!
Also- totally unrelated but so many of you DM’ed me after I shared a shot of my laptop marble cover the other day over on my Insta stories… HERE it is if you want to buy it. I LOVE it!!! Gold & marble– YAS YAS YAS!
