Ruffle Sweaters & Shearling Loafers for Less

You have may have noticed the ruffle sweaters, shearling loafers and quilted bags are all over.  They are some of the big trends right now.  I have found some almost identical dupes.  I love the softness of the open shoulder top at the top, and I have the ruffled sleeve sweater in off white.  This past winter I wore it a lot - and always felt so dressed up wearing it.

MY FEBRUARY PURCHASES
I cannot believe tomorrow is the last day of February.  Here is what I bought in February.

1. I have been looking for a pair of leopard booties with a chunkier heel - and I finally found a pair that I like.  I had been watching for them to go on sale - and they are as low as $34. I typically wear a 1/2 size larger in this brand, but for these I had to get my usually size.

2. I bought these really cute peep toe/bootie sandals for only $43 - and I can’t wait to wear them this spring/summer.

3. This sweater is my favorite.  It is so soft and comfy, and it comes in three different colors and is on sale for $17 (with the additional 40% off)!

4. This waffle knit turtleneck sweater is only $21!  I have worn it so much already - and it still looks brand new (and after washing it twice - it still looks great).  I actually love it so much I bought another one.

5. This boucle sweater is also $21 - and so comfy.
