Fred Flare Nautical Necklace $12

As ever-fashionable Agathe pointed out, the nautical trend just isn’t going anywhere, so we should probably get used to it. *Sigh* (I’m secretly thrilled.) Just remember to keep the rest of the ensemble simple, or you run the risk of being mistaken for a pirate.

Payless Koffee Hurache Heels $20

OK, so they’re not leather, but what what do you want for 20 bucks? They’ll look great with jeans and I might even go out on a fashion-limb and wear black tights underneath.

Urban Outfitters Sparkle Embellished Tank $19.99*

Look like you have major DIY skillz, even if the closest you’ll ever come to whipping up your own clothes is watching Project Runway. Just remember to tear out the tag so as to avoid getting busted. (It also comes in two other colors.)
Thanks for the hot tip, Delilah!
*Down from $38.

La Redoute Pleated Silk Dress $34.99*

When I look at this simple, gorgeous silk dress I see a blank canvas. . .there’s so much you can do with it. (If you were European you could wear it every day of the week, with different accessories of course, and never get a “that’s grody” glance from your co-workers.) It also […]

Fred Flare Oval Orbit Earrings $3.99*

These large and in charge dangling darlings are sure to get noticed. (In a good way.)
Thanks for the hot tip, Dev!

Newport News Jellies $8

You can literally kick it old school in these plastic fantastics. Don’t be scared off by the fact that you had three pairs of these when you were eight (or maybe that was me). They actually look cute and understated with Spring skirts. Remember to sport the roll on lip balm […]

Aeropostale PJ Pants $9.99*

They remind me of Lite-Brite and SweetTarts, so naturally I like them. And as a (sort of pathetic) hommage to Valentine’s Day, I’ll be putting them on the second I get home from work.
*Down from $26.50.

Luella for Target Metal Engraved Bag $29.99

While I love Target more than I can express in words, dare I say it? The website is a hot mess. But because of the disorganization, I keep uncovering little treasures in unexpected places. This sleek bag is a prime example. Since I’ve already deposited too much cash into the bank […]

Tommy Hilfiger Striped Camisole $31.99*

Pair it with white chinos or jeans and a cardigan for work in the Summer or a weekend at the beach. The lace trim and buttons on the back are sweet details, but way more importantly, the soft cotton and empire waist make it pajama-comfortable. A pulled together look that feels like […]

Split Shimmer Top $14*

I love the simple cut and fun, subtle shimmer of this perfect night-out top. The fact that it’s not meant to stick to your skin like white on rice is a nice bonus.
*Down from $28.
