Cardigans

Another one of my favorite articles of clothing is a cardigan. They are cute, comfortable and great for adding something extra to your outfit. They are fitting for women of all ages and they typically add a little class to your outfit. You can find a variety of cardigans at any department store or boutique. They can also be worn year-round, so they are a great piece of clothing to invest in! Check out Old Navy for a wide variety of cardigans at very affordable prices!

Chuck Taylors

One of my favorite kinds of shoes are Chuck Taylor Converses. They are comfortable, stylish and timeless. They have been popular for many years. My mother had a pair of purple converses when she was a teenager and I now have a pink and black pair of converses. Converses can be dressed up and down according to the occasion. They are available in many colors and patterns. 

Looking for something different?

Big belts have been a recent trend that has lasted much longer than I thought it would. Many girls like to pair wide belts with flowy shirts, sweaters or any other loose shirt to make themselves have a more defined waist. These big belts help create an "hour-glass" shape which most every girl desires. Where can you get one? Well most any department store or boutique would have them. Urban Outfitters has a large assortment of these hip belts in all sorts of styles, colors, designs, and materials. 

Famous First Lady

Michelle Obama has made a name for herself in the fashion world recently. Ever since she appeared at the inaugural ball in a stunning Jason Wu gown, fashion icons have kept a close watch on what the First Lady wears. Many fashion magazines such as TeenVogue have done articles on this fashionista. 

New Balance

New Balance tennis shoes are popular among people of all ages. I have a pair, my mother has a pair and my grandfather also has a pair of these comfortable walking shoes. They offer a wide variety of styles and colors. You can also get these shoes for under $70. 

Splurge or Steal?

While browsing Cosmopolitan.com, I came across a interesting section called "Splurge vs. Steal." The section had found stores where you can get high fashion, high priced clothes and shoes for much cheaper. This zippered skirt by LaRok is priced at $188. Cosmo found an almost exact replica of this overpriced skirt at Forever 21 for only $14.80. Thats definitely a steal worth taking advantage of!

Gossip Girl

The new hit TV show "Gossip Girl" is not only loved for its drama filled episodes every week, but also for its fashionable characters. Blake Lively plays the role of Serena van der Woodsen, an upper east side New York teenage girl with lots of issues. However, despite all her problems she is always dressed in perfect Vogue style. Always wearing the latest fads, many young girls look to her clothes as model for their own style.
