I admit it – I have shamelessly copied JoJami with this purchase of  this faux vest. I would never have tried something on like this until I saw how great she looked in a similar one. And mine, though lifelike, is FAUX!  Machine washable acrylic/poly. It really does look like suede and fur, but isn’t. And it’s reversible! $30 at TJ Maxx.

Thanks for sharing Celeste! You will certainly enjoy this purchase guilt free since you found it for a great price, it’s faux fur and you can wear it 2 ways!

Not only that, but a vest is a great “transition” piece to go from fall into winter or just to wear all winter if you come from parts of the country that don’t get all that cold.

We think you might have seen JoBee (my mother) in one too…She was my fashion inspiration to buy a black vest!

Yippee… the sun is starting to shine again…and we can finally crawl out from under our bulky coats and turtlenecks!

So have you started to get the shopping itch yet?  We have and we know that every season it’s time to find those few new pieces to perk up our wardrobe especially items that are age appropriate (you know, not too young, too old, but just right!)

This Spring 2011 is all about color…and we ADORE color!!!

Here are a few shopping tips to follow before you start out:

	Know  brands. This blouse is by Leifsdottir, a high-end brand known for great quality and style. Is it worth the splurge? YES, since it was at T.J. Max for a steal!
	Don’t be afraid to add color!  Key pieces like a pair of colorful jeans will perk up any wardrobe! Wear it with a white t-shirt or try color blocking (purple or green shirt). This can be a versatile piece if you think out of the box! (Zara)
	The pencil skirt.  A staple and looks great on most body types! (Zara)
	The Nude Wedge  This one from Bettye Mueller is comfy and casual. (Zappos)
	White Handbag   A white handbag can be a dangerous purchase, because if they are not good quality you can tell. This one from Cole Haan is gorgeous with the woven leather. (Sacs)
