Best Clothing Pieces of 2016
Jacket
This photo doesn't do the jacket justice but, I have never been stopped so much on the street as I have with this jacket. It really is the perfect jacket to either dress down or dress up. It is really warm which is perfect for walking the NYC streets. I got this amazing find at T.J. Maxx it was on sale for around 150. Being a Viktor&Rolf jacket it is very high end. They only sell their clothing in limited batches at their boutiques so this was really a find!
Shoes
I got these shoes on a whim because I had a nice coupon to DSW. These Steve Madden shoes were the best thing that I've ever happened to my life. I wore them every day as both casual and dressy. They were sooo comfortable and had a nice little heel. I walked hundreds of miles in New York in these babies and got so many compliments! Best 30 dollars I have ever spent.
When I first got these shoes it took me some time to break in the stiff leather but, I am so glad I did. I have worn them every day in the fall and winter because the color is perfect for the season. Also because the leather is so nice it doesn't let water through. When I was traveling a New York Mets player came up to me in his 3 piece suit and complimented my shoes. Being ignorant of sports I didn't realize who it was until people around me started asking to take pictures with him. Anyways, we ended up having a lovely conversation about his socks and how he was gifted a monthly socks box. Moral of the story... THESE SHOES ARE LUCKY!
Dresses
This is an amazing piece I bought it at Forever 21 for around 20 dollars. But this dress looks like a million bucks. It is so flattering from the color to the cut. Honestly, every photo I took in this dress made me look like I was a Kardashian. When it comes to nice fancy dresses I really hate spending a lot just because you never wear them twice because people remember the dress. I really recomend going to Forever 21 and H&M for great finds.
This dress, on the other hand, I spent a pretty penny. I had to though because for the event I wore this it was a very specific and I had to dress to impress. This dress was a major winner! I learned a great trick if you are going into an event where you are an outsider really look put together. People will end up giving you compliments and asking about your outfit which is a great way to start a conversation. I love this dress because its right at the knee so it is conservative and is covered in the front. But then the back gives you a nice playful touch. I love dressing in a way that appears to be conservative but then has an edge to it which makes it fun and sexy!
Bathing Suit
When Victoria's Secret announced they would stop with their swim line I was completely devastated. I would always buy my bathing suits from there. I loved this suit because it doesn't scream cleveage but it is flattering for my body. Also on the sides of the bottom it has rope which holds it together. It gives it a nice peak a boo style without being overall exposing.
