Cash or Credit - Black & White

Happy Friday friends...SO happy the weekend is here! While we are off to Maine to celebrate my husbands birthday I wanted to share a little cash or credit with you all before we go. The tie neck {I refuse to call it what it's actual name is} is a major trend happening in everything from dresses to blouses. Just this week I wore this style with this dress. I plan on living in silk blouses, comfy flats & denim all fall. It is always my full proof outfit that I feel best in so I wanted to use my personal style as some inspiration for todays get the look for less. Happy Weekend!

Cash Or Credit - Boot Edition

Since I started this cash or credit series, I have been pleasantly surprised that there is almost always a alternative option for a high fashion {and high cost} items. So while I admittedly have my weaknesses for some luxury items - specifically handbags, I am thrilled when I can get the look of a pricer piece without having to break the bank. A few days ago when I put together this little weekend wear, I quickly became obsessed with the booties in it. I pretty much stared at them everyday but couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on spending $600 on shoes that I will likely destroy with Boston's temperamental weather. I then decided to hunt for a more affordable alternate option and was psyched when I saw the similar style below. Two other very popular styles that have been all over the blogosphere also had more affordable counterparts that ooze lots of good style.

animal instincts

On my first date with my now husband he told me that when we had initially met at work I was walking around the office in a stealth like manner (I was his landlord in a commercial office space) in my leopard heels which earned me the nickname Tigress. Then being the studious individual he is, he went on in detail to tell me about the history of the "saber tooth tigress" and how I reminded him of this extinct creature, tell me now - what girl wouldn’t want to hear that on a first date! Without going on too much about what happened next let’s just say it gave us a good laugh and I have been stamped with this nickname till this day. This leads me to a very current trend I have always adored – animal prints. Maybe it’s my Long Island roots in me that has always loved this style or that it's readily available in so many styles the past few years, I just cant seem to get enough. The only thing with this particular pattern is that I think it needs to be done in small doses. No one wants to see a animal prints head to toe. You will either look like an actual tigress or a stuffed animal, neither are a winning look. Below are some fabulous finds that I think are just the right amount of animal prints needed to turn a blah ensemble bold, just remember to wear one piece at a time. Part two will have some pretty images on pairing this print in your wardrobe!

the saber tooth tigress - pretty huh???
