Ruffle Accent Sweater Trend

Influencer Anh from 9to5chic always has the most classy/expensive looking outfits, almost as if she is living the pages of a Banana Republic or Club Monaco catalog. Recently on her Instagram, I was enamored by this ruffle sweater, but of course when items look pretty on influencers, they sell out fast and this sweater ain't cheap either at $69 at Nordstrom. Upon closer inspection, the brand is "Vero Moda" which surprised me, since I have been shopping this fast-fashion brand for many years at ASOS, but usually have way better discount prices. 

I'm one of those people who cannot fathom buying a sweater for over $50 bucks when I know that sweaters usually get dingy and old fast after a couple of machine wash and dry. Who has time to separate clothes in delicate cycles and then have a space to lay them flat to dry?....unfortunately not me. 

So if you are looking for alternatives to Anh's beautiful but sold-out sweater, here's some less expensive ones at ASOS, that gives off similar romantic vibes...

QED London frilled mesh detail sweater in camel - sale $26.60

or 

QED London ruffle front detail sweater in ivory - sale $16.15!

So many pretty sweaters this season, I just can't keep up! 

Merry Christmas 2020

Am I a minority in this, or does anyone else love being in lock-down at home for Christmas? 

Anyway, other things I'm loving right now...

A Warm Cup of Beige

The color beige reminds me of cappuccinos and almond biscotti, a treat of warmth, romance, and happy times, so why not incorporate those feelings into my wardrobe right?

Favorite Instagram to Follow for Summer Fashion

This girl, Alexandra Pereira, a fellow petite influencer, has the best summer fashion photos and videos on her instagram. She definitely portrays a life of never ending vacation resorts. Here are some of my favorite trends she is sporting this summer:

Puff sleeve midi dress with V-neckline - I had thought only tall girls like Kate Middleton could rock this midi dress look with so much fabric, but I'm thrilled that a petite girl like Alexandra showed me wrong!

Dainty small seashells jewelry - A glimpse of some seashells earrings on Forever 21 models piqued my interest last time, but now, this necklace has convinced me it is the rage for summer beach vibes.

Top with Wide Ruffle Straps: perfect style to wear for taking selfies and love the coverage (a win for us girls who don't like to show off too much skin) while leaving the arms open for the breeze on hot sticky weather.
