Everything old is new again. My mantra for the new year is to spend less money, shop less, and spend more time investing in timeless pieces that I will enjoy for years to come. Alas, we will see how long that lasts - as I woke up this morning - stared into my walk in closet and shrieked, "I have absolutely nothing to wear."
I'm loving the modern twists on the classic sailor shirt this season. Oh Coco - how you created the classic blue and white striped t-shirt inspired by the French Navy and millions of girls are still biting on your style today - like ME!
I saw this take on the sailor shirt from Elizabeth and James and instantly fell in love. (I fall in love with clothing pretty often if you haven't noticed - some flings - some serious life time infatuations).
Elizabeth and James is a label with a pretty hefty price tag. Every time I make an Elizabeth and James purchase - I get secretly pissed off at myself for contributing to the Olsen Twins bank accounts and success. They have been raking in dough since the Full House days - and we all know I could use a little more pocket change and this shirt was probably made in China for $5. My rational brain, however, was flooded with images of cuteness so I gave in.

In my search for the Coco Classic Striped Sailor shirt, I stumbled across this top that takes a little 80s spin on things by Juicy Couture. I love the double layer and the bat wing arms - and of course, a must for me is a flowy top that helps to hide a little bit of belly bulge (I'm expecting a food baby in 9 months...).
