look4less:links

I've realized that, lately, everything I write [or rather, my last couple of posts since I've neglected this thing so much lately] seems to be a look4less post.  I mean I don't think y'all are complaining, but apparently my extremely cheap qualities are shining through as of late. 

With that being said, guess what I have for today?  That's right, get ready to save. I was cruising through the J. Crew Factory website and realized their jewelry is completely underrated.  I guess everyone gets so caught up in the main brand's gorgeous jewelry that they forget about the lovely discounted sister site.  OR maybe I think I'm the only one that takes full advantage of these lower prices.  Whatever the case may be, I wanted to do a look4less for a staple necklace that I wear all the time and get tons of compliments on.  I've tried on the J.Crew version and own the Factory version, so I can honestly tell you, I like the Factory version better, along with the price tag.

This simple gold link necklace goes with EVERYTHING.  No joke, and it adds class to every look, business or casual, or business casual.  Check them out and, if you're lucky, a local store will have it so you can try it on and avoid shipping!

look4less:espadrille wedge

Alright, I'm kind of back.  Physically, I'm here, but mentally, I'm in another country.  Between work and travel, I've barely been able to do laundry, let alone sleep.  I'm slowly catching up on everything, including this here blog.  Oh well, it's summer time, right?  

And with Summer comes espadrille season.  Always popular, comfortable, and a great way to mix casual items with dressier pieces.  I've always been a fan of J. Crew's espadrilles, but I've never been able to pull the trigger to pay $128 for such a casual shoe.  Solution?  Target's look-a-like pair for only $30.  Thank you, I'm done.

Tassel-off

Well, it's officially June.  Time is flying, which is always a "surprise," it seems.  I'm ready for the 4 B's: beach, bbq, beer, and baseball.

I've always had a soft spot for tassels, but lately it's been intense.  I literally freaked when this J. Crew necklace sold out the first time and didn't miss a beat when it was restocked.  Then I was cruising through Baublebar's new line with Courtney Kerr and saw this gem.  What to do, what to do?  The Bauble bar one is only $28, but I already have my J. Crew version [don't worry I'm not ghetto, I haven't worn it yet] which is a little more expensive, but still not horrible.  Gah, I'm so cheap.  Somebody get me into couponing stat.
