In keeping with the red theme this week, and how much I love my new red sweater, I  thought I would re-create this look.  I love how casually chic it is - and how simple it is to put together.  All you need is black denim, red sweater, and chambray shirt.  And, if you don’t have a red bag - this one is only $30.  This layered look is perfect for spring.  And, if it gets too warm, you can easily tie the chambray shirt around your waist.  Also, I don’t know what I did before I got my Hunter boots.  They are so easy to wear - and perfect when it is a torrential rain pour outside - no more soaked or ruined shoes.  (Probably one of the worst rain storms I got stuck in was in NYC.   I was so soaked that I ended up buying new clothes for the day - and I ruined a pair of leather loafers.)

CAN YOU GUESS  WHICH BLOGGER WORE WHICH SHOES?

Shoes are one of my favorite things to shop for.  This week I am starting something new. Each Thursday, I will feature four bloggers' shoes, but I will not name which blogger wore which shoes.  You will have to check back on Friday when I reveal which bloggers shoes were featured. Leave a comment as to which blogger you think they are.

I have started to shop more at H&M.  It is a great place to find trendy items that are reasonably priced.  I recently found this green skirt - and it reminded me of a look Rach from Pink Peonies wore a few years ago.  I decided to re-create the look - using all budget-friendly items.  This look would have been perfect yesterday for St. Patrick's Day.

I think I want to buy this entire all-white look. It looks so classic and fresh for spring.  My look was inspired by a few celebrity looks below.  And, if you haven't checked out the new arrivals at H&M - there are so really cute pieces for spring.

My daily style typically consists of some bargain pieces - and today's two looks are yet another bargain look.  All these pieces are under $100 - and most are under $50.  

As I mentioned the other day, I have been doing some spring "browsing" lately, and I found this sweater I really liked, but with a price tag of over $400 - I knew it was probably not going to end up in my shopping cart; however, I did find this similar fun yellow sweater for $50.  

SALES

The Shopbop sale is still going on through March 5th.  If you missed my post the other day - I am sharing some finds in blue, pink, and yellow - with a really cute cut-out dress that would be perfect for spring/summer or a beach vacation.  I mentioned in my post that I was looking for some new jewelry - here are a few picks of rings I like.

The SHOPBOP sale starts today - you can get up to 25% off almost everything (exceptions here).  The more you spend - the more you save!  I always look forward to this sale because it is one of the only times you can get items that typically do not go on sale - for a discount.  And, as I mentioned last week, I am a bargain shopper. Plus, SHOPBOP offers free shipping both ways - so there is no risk.  (Savings Code: BigEvent16 - and save between 15-25% off - details here.)

This past weekend I cleaned out my closet and packaged up FIVE bags of clothes that I am no longer wearing.  And, since I did not do a lot of shopping in January or February, I ready to do some spring shopping.  

ON MY SHOPPING LIST
1. Mini handbag - maybe this Rebecca Minkoff in red
2. New flat sandals - Sam Edelman makes the most comfortable flat sandal
3. Something chambray - like a new jacket  
4. Maxi dress - there are so many great colors for spring
5. New ring - I am looking for budget rings under $30
