I’ve always had an affinity for Peasant tops. If gives you that bohemian look without looking too much like you’re trying too hard to be a hippie. Not that there is anything wrong with the latter if that’s your style. Embroidered peasant tops just possesses that cutesy yet feminine touch. Overall total of this …read more

$100 Fall Look : Striped, Sweater, Jeans, & Boots

$100 Fall Look : Striped, Sweater, Jeans, & Boots

I fell in love with the metallic stripes sweater that I just had to create an Under $100 Look around it.

But it looks so chic with the skinny jeans tucked inside the knee-high boots in my head so that’s what I came up with.

Old Navy Skinny Jeans, $34.50
Black Faux Suede Round Toe Buckle Boots, $27.99

Under $100 Look : Romantic Ruffled Blouse

Under $100 Look : Romantic Ruffled Blouse

I fell in love with this blue ruffled romantic blouse as soon as my eyes laid on it.

The difference is, you didn’t spend too much to look good. Anyway, this is how I see myself wearing this romantic blouse.
Crinkle Ruffle Top, $19.80
Wide-Leg Trouser Pants, $22.80
Black Camisole, $2.50
Blue Pumps, $15.99
A black clutch would go nicely with this ensemble by the way.
