#groopdealz | daily deals Right now, I am loving all things floral, colorful, and feminine! This first top is so beautiful and would be the perfect transitioning piece. Layer it up with a neutral colored cardigan for the last of the cold weather, leggings, and riding boots. Then wear it with cuffed denim and sandals when the weather warms up. Also, the necklaces linked below make such an easy statement and they are less than $7! Such a good deal. I love wearing long necklaces! Which item is your favorite?

splurge and steal

So I've posted before about how I stick to a wish list for pretty much all of my purchases, especially for more pricey items. I usually only buy 1-2 of those items a month because I stick to a budget. And in case you are wondering, bloggers do get paid and that's where I get most of my spending money. I make a small commission off of items that are purchased from my blog or liketoknow.it via Instagram. That's actually one of the questions I get asked the most by people who know me in real life. I do LOVE fashion + style but this little blog does require a lot of time so I do get "paid" in commission and free products so that I can keep it going. So there you go, full disclosure. {insert emoji smiley face}

I did end up with the black Target wedges that I posted about last week. They were less than $25 {a steal!} and just as cute as the more expensive version. I chose the black because after looking at the shoes in my closet, I realized I didn't have any black summer shoes. I got them in the mail yesterday and I love them! Great quality for the price AND they're comfortable! I also got my splurge item in the mail yesterday too so it was just a happy mail day! I have been eyeing this gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff bag for at least six weeks. It's been on my wish list but I kept debating whether or not I should really spend the money on it since it's more than I typically spend on a bag. After spending quite a bit of time shopping online, I couldn't find anything that I loved as much as it so I just decided to go for it. It's even better in person! The leather is so soft and the tassels are perfect. It also comes with a strap so it can be carried as a clutch or worn as a crossbody. Sorry in advance for carrying this bag on repeat. It's my new favorite!

What kinds of items do you like to splurge on?

the look for less

I have been absolutely loving the style of the wedges on the left. I spotted them on the Nordstrom website and added them to my wish list. But they are not in my price range for wedge sandals since they may only get worn about once a week or so when spring and summer roll around. I would personally invest in a good flat leather sandal though. Then I found the wedges on the right while I was shopping this past weekend... and they are $100 less! YAY for a look for less! Plus they are even on sale if you shop them online. I love how similar the straps and buckles are to the more expensive pair AND I love that they are espadrilles!   
But how here's the problem. Which color do I get?! I love the tan and the black. Which one would you pick?

I absolutely LOVE the floral + stripe one below and I'm pretty sure I'll have to add it to my closet. Last season, Anthropologie sold a very similar top for a lot more money. I love a good look for less find!

spring cheat sheet + thredUP

Anyone else craving spring?! Winter isn't too bad for a few weeks but I'm over it now. Like I said yesterday, I don't like wearing coats so winter just isn't for me. You might have also noticed that I have been wearing pops of pink pretty much every single day even though I typically wear neutrals during the winter. Today, I am bringing you my cheat sheet for transitioning your wardrobe into spring!

To help me with this cheat sheet, I've teamed up with thredUP! What's thredUp? thredUP is the easiest way to save money on great women's and kids' clothing brands and sell clothes for cash. It's like a consignment store, but simpler. On thredUP you can refresh your entire wardrobe online without ever leaving your house. If you've followed my blog for awhile, you know that I started this whole outfit posting business with almost only thrifted pieces during a time when I didn't have much money to spend on clothing or accessories. 

So here's my cheat sheet for transitioning into spring...

1. Add some color! I chose these bright pink accessories from thredUP to really make a statement. Start adding color into your winter wardrobe to make transitioning into spring a breeze. I tied my scarf onto my black tote for instant pop of color. Not a fan of pink? Try lavender, turquoise, or yellow!

2. Lightweight sweaters. This sweater from J. Crew is lightweight enough to wear alone during the spring but for winter it still needs a layer on top. Look for pieces that you can wear now and later.

3. Incorporate your winter favorites into your spring wardrobe. These ankle boots are so comfortable so I can see myself moving them into spring with a swing dress!

4. White pants. Y'all, you can wear all white year! At least I do! White pants instantly brighten up your look. The brighter, the better.

5. Denim jackets. I tend to only bring mine out in the spring and fall but denim jackets are perfect for layering with. Layer now or wear it with a flowy floral tank when the weather warms up.

How do you transition your wardrobe over to spring without breaking the bank?

sparkle + shine

This is my favorite time of year to add some sparkle + shine to my wardrobe. I'm a mom of a five year old and a three year so I'm not going out to a fancy party on New Years Eve but that doesn't mean I can't wear some glitter to the grocery store! I love mixing glam with casual... and I would kind of describe that as my style. Pair these glittery heels with your favorite skinny jeans and a t-shirt for an instant put together look. Don't be afraid to add some sparkle... even if you are ringing in your New Year on your couch. Here's some of my favorite pieces to help you do just that:
