OOTD- layering cardigans


When I wore this outfit (Thursday- late again- sorry!!) it was really cold in the morning (around 35-40) but it was nice in the afternoon (65) before it got super cold and windy around 6pm. So I needed a really warm layer, a thin cardigan or something of the sort, and a tank top because I get hot super duper easily! So I found one of my favorite white frilly cardigans (Of course I bought it in black as well ;) ) and layered it with a structured sweatshirt from Aeropostale which sounds a little weird but it's SUPER cute and comfy. The flats I'm wearing are from Charlotte Russe a year and a half ago- they're still holding up and look about as good as they did when I first bought them for only $5. So definitely check out Charlotte Russe's sales. Especially the day after Christmas sale- and sign up for their texting club- they alert you about alll the best deals! Finally, my necklace is my ALL TIME most worn and favorite piece of jewelry. It's actually my second one, I re-found it at forever21 about a year after I originally bought it and it's exactly the same excepting the chain. Keep an eye out for it if you like it because forever21 might have them again! The "crystals" are actually really shiny and sparkly- I get compliments every time I wear it.

The Best T-shirt for the Money

Tri-blend V-neck Tee Wet Seal 
5 for $20 or $7.50


This shirt is my most worn and (2nd) favorite shirt at the moment rivaling, in softness, shirts that cost five to ten times what they do. I've owned two of these particular t-shirts for a few months now and wear each of them at least once every two weeks. I have the dark gray one pictured above and a light pink one as well. I bought them both in a size Large or Extra Large when I'm in reality a size small at Wet Seal (I think..). I like how they're a little loose and unstreched, they give the perfect silhouette with a simple pair of jeans and a cardigan on one of my "lazy" days. They're perfectly soft and comfortable even after the 15 plus washes the gray one has been through. They're just perfect for those days when I just want to throw something on and run out the door. I've been known to even sleep in them when I don't feel well- they're so comfy!! Also, because of how loose they are they can be tucked into a bodycon skirt and still have enough fabric to blouse out a little bit. My only issue? The light pink one can be a little sheer, but with a tank top or a little bravery and a nude bra that can be fixed.
