1. White Tank Tops

 I wear these under EVERYTHING. They're great when you have a shirt that might be a bit too thin to wear alone or a shirt that's a tad on the shorter side. Also, tank tops can give you a barrier between your skin and an itchy sweater. In addition, white is nice because it goes with everything. I like wearing camisoles because they're more form fitting and don't show as much as thicker tops.

2. Laser Cut Clutches

The first time I saw something with the laser cut style, I fell head over heels in love with it! I like how it's different than your run of the mill prints/patterns, and it gives the purse a different dimension. With this type of style, you can always go feminine or edgy depending on the type you choose.


I also recommend checking TJMaxx or Marshall's because I found some great Ivanka Trump ones there for much cheaper than on Amazon.

3. White Eyeliner

This is a cheap way to make your eyes pop and take way from the tired look. I like using it on just the inner corner of my eyes to make my eyes look brighter, and it definitely gives the illusion of looking not quite so tired if you happen to be. It works with any skin tone.
I got mine from Target. I bought the E.L.F. and it cost me no more than $3.

4. Wrap Watches

These are a favorite of mine because at times, you don't even need to wear jewelry with them since there's enough going on with the watch all on it's own.

Ray-Ban RX5281 - Target Optical ($199.99)

5. Tortoise Shell Glasses

I have tried on a few different pairs of these at Target, but I just can't decide which pair I like to fit my face. They definitely give a sophisticated look when you're wearing them, and I like that they can go with whatever you're wearing.
 
As funny as that may sound, that's exactly what I thought of when I needed to think of a name for the look. It's definitely a feminine take on the outdoorsy, manly look.

Oh, it's that time of year again to start your New Year's resolution(s) and like most Americans, you're vowing to lose weight or spend more time at the gym. Well, why not do it in style? Here are some great options to get you motivated and back in shape!

In addition to these, I've always had really good luck with finding cute and practical workout clothes at TJMaxx and Marshall's.

Who says pastels are just for spring? There are lots of great ways to incorporate pastels into your winter wardrobe, along with wearing what I like to call "winter pastels."

You, of course, don't want to over do it by wearing lots of pastels at once, but you can always incorporate them into your wardrobe in the winter by wearing a pastel shirt or pants and pairing it with sweaters, boots, skirts, leggings, tights, and more. You want to be subtle with the pastels as to not look out there and like you're just clinging to the hope of spring coming soon. In addition, this is a great way to bring a little sunshine into your life and we all know we can sure use that during these cold, winter months.

As for winter pastels, these are pastel colors with a darker/grayer hue to them. They still have that pastel undertone, but aren't as strickily bright or light as your usual pastels. You can see some of my winter pastels, as pictured above, to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

This is a very common color combo that I have been seeing a lot more lately, especially for weddings. 

You can mix and match these two colors any way you'd like.

- Yellow Tank Top - Marshall's
- Navy Blue Peplum Ponte Blazer - Target for $20.98 (This is the one I talked about on my post from 11/27/2013 - Back to Basics: Blazers that I wanted to order. Well I did, and I love the material and the look. It's a perfect addition to my blazer collection)
- Blue and White Pinstriped Scarf - World Market (They really do have some great scarves and jewelry. You wouldn't
                                                             think it, but you just have to look.)
                                                            - Bracelets - J. Crew Factory & Kohl's
                                                            - Earrings - See Below

Tip of the Day: If you have a plain scarf, but you want to wear it as an infinity scarf, just tie the two ends together and put it around your neck. Then, wrap the scarf around your neck again to cover up the ends of the scarf and BAM!, you have an infinity scarf.
