COMPARSIOnS!!

Handbags! my FAVORITE accessory besides shoes!,Now don't get me wrong i love handbags i have soooo many and honestly over the past couple years i've began to notice that i would walk into stores and be shocked at how much a SMALL leather clutch or satchel would cost, Lets be real here not EVERYONE wakes up one morning and says "Today i will spend 5,000 dollars on a small tote" Now if you are looking for bragging rights and care more about saying "oh my bag is (insert designer brand here) this post is not for you lol.

Below i have listed some bags,they are all beautiful bags but looking at how much they all look exactly alike makes me think,Now dont get me wrong i respect all designers and all of the work they put into there bags, i love fashion and i loveee nice things but not all of us have the money to get THAT BAG. To me a STAPLE bag is a Leather Black tote bag, now below the one on the left is $70 Dollars, as to the one to the right of it is $1,555,now besides the hardware and thicker handle i would rather get the one on the left rather then spend the almost 1,600 dollars on a simple black tote!!.

MY point is,you CAN be fashionable and still look amazing, you don't have to go spend thousands of dollars on a handbag.

Todays post is about how EASY you can pull together an outfit that is CHIC yet very comfortable, Most women think heels are the key to an "amazing" outfit NEWSFLASH !! its not! the right pair of flats and accessories will pull together any outfits, The Outfit above is affordable(links to items below with prices) and looks as if it cost you thousands to put together!!! Don't be afraid to take a risk and take the time to put your outfit together, For example i used to go into stores find a cute top buy it and leave.Mistake! to me if you already have the bottoms and are looking to buy just the top it is a different story,BUT if you find a cute top my suggestion is to shop around and match and or figure out hmmmm, what would i pair this with and will i wear it more then 2-3 times, If you cannot figure it out think it over!!! Is it worth the price you are gonna pay for the clothing item to let it sit in your closet!?

Theres always that "I HAVE TO HAVE THIS" moment and that's something we are all guilty of! but i cannot tell you how many times i have done this and now have half a closet full of tops and bottoms that i am giving away/donating and thinking of all the money i spent on them!.

Now time for some CROP TOPS, Lots of women don't feel comfortable buying a crop top thinking you have to have a chiseled stomach to wear one! NEWSFLASH

we are NOT all size 0's and or have the "PERFECT" Stomach Be confident and stand your ground !!

They can vary from turtleneck,Short sleeve,Long sleeve,Mid Sleeve,

Now remember you DONT wanna mix Two Prints that is a no no,

So if you are wearing a printed skirt one of the crop tops above would complete the outfit mixing prints is confusing and in my OPINON isn't very flattering.
