Top 5 Favorites – April 2022

LoveShackFancy x TargetSpring and summer were on the brain for your Top 5 Favorites from April 2022.
Knit Set

I posted a Reel of this set and you all seemed to love it as much as I do.  I adore how comfortable it is, and how it’s fashion-forward without being too trendy.  I pair my set in countless different ways – it’s so versatile!

Mules

These babies are a play on the Bottega Veneta Lido sandals.  I love that they’re a fraction of the cost and go with so many things.  When they went on sale last month, you snatched them up too.  The newer style (right) has a slightly more padded effect. Both styles come in several colors.

Sunglasses

Another favorite from one of my Reels were these sunnies. The lenses really up the chic factor.  Another “goes with everything” piece, I wear these the most out of my designer sunnies.

Straight Leg Jeans

These jeans just can’t miss.  We’re going on 6 months of these as a favorite and rightly so.  Simply put, they are my most worn jeans.  If you love them but don’t want to invest, I highly recommend your final Top 5 Favorite from last month…

Affordable Straight Leg Jeans

These are my go-to affordable jeans.  The fit is incredible and they are constantly being offered in different washes.  I own 4 pairs.

Knit set for Spring

Jonathan Simkhai knit skirt set

Knit sets were all over the Spring 2022 runways.  I love the mix and match possibilities with a set.  Check out 4 different ways I styled this one – together, with jeans, casually and something extra.

This set is a bit of a departure for me style-wise as I shy away from anything form-fitting, but it’s so comfortable and versatile I had to have it.  The buttons on the skirt really flatter the body.  You can wear them buttoned, opened on one side or both sides.

I’ve also worn the top with the tie as a halter and tied it down at the sweetheart neckline.  There are just so many possibilities with this set!

Mini dress & Mules for Summer

Loveshackfancy Viola dress

Dress // Mules // Sunglasses

This dress and these mules are my favorite summer sale purchases.

I’m a big fan of LoveShackFancy dresses.  They are 100% cotton (washable), comfortable and stay cool in warm summer months.  This one comes in blue, pink, white and yellow.

Amina Muaddi is a shoe designer that has totally captured my heart.  Her playful mules come in tons of fun colors and materials and I’m coveting a pair of her boots for winter.

This would make a fabulous date night look.  I am looking forward to putting on something fancy (i.e. this) and hitting the town.

What I’m Coveting: Mules

Perhaps it was the Fashion Friday I did about 90s supermodels, but I cannot get high-heeled mules out of my head.

There are SO many good ones out right now and I’m coveting them… hard.

Mules & SlidesHere are some of my favorites, sizing tips and where to find the look for less.

For affordable options, check out this brand.  I’ve also tried on several pairs from this affordable brand and thought the quality and comfort was on point.

If you’re considering investing in a pair of Bottega Veneta mules (they did revive the trend, after all), I recommend this pair.  They are really stunning on and I haven’t found a more affordable option that gets the toe box right like these do.  FYI, they run a half size large.  The saddle color and white are at the top of my list.

This pair from Bottega is what started the mules trend.  The first time I tried them on I thought they were fabulous.  The second time, I had a change of heart.  IMHO, the large strap will get old and they aren’t versatile.  Plus, the price is SO painful.
