Recent Purchases

Since I'm already well-stocked on basics, I'm continuing to focus any money I spend on items that have something special about them - like an fun print, an interesting shape or a unique detail. My goal is always to buy pieces that are versatile enough to wear in different ways & that I can easily make look more expensive than they really were.

I created 4 looks below with my new purchases - two casual weekend outfits and two dressed-up styles. In addition to the items above, I also bought this lace sweatshirt, this chambray jacket & the chinos seen here. Pieces I'm looking to buy for next month include a pair of white pumps, a breezy floral skirt & white skinny jeans (still haven't found my perfect fit yet).

Speaking of finding great pieces for less, thredUp X Collection launched yesterday (see my previous post featuring their site here). And you won't want to miss out on their amazing designer finds for up to 70% off retail - brands like Joie, Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs & Kate Spade! I've already got my eye on some pretty spring dresses - take a look at their new arrivals here.
