Hello Gorgeous! I love the spring collection from Stella & Dot and felt the urge to go shopping for a whole new wardrobe to match my stunning jewels. Generally, I'm of the mindset that accessories can make all of last year's (and previous years') outfits look brand new. I'd rather buy a great statement piece that works with everything, than spend thousands on a few items that add to my busting-at-the-seams walk-in closet.
Okay. I'm lying - I'd rather do both. But the reality is that people have an eye on their spending, and my advice to those who contemplate that fabulous Stella & Dot Statement Necklace at $218 is this: Have a Trunk Show and get it for free (yes, it's true...my hostesses get it for free); or buy it- because quite frankly, accessories are more bang for your buck than that sweater you've been waiting for to go on sale. Yes, I know...THAT sweater goes with your favourite jeans, dress pants, and that fab on-trend midi skirt. (Note: midi skirt is not a spelling error.) But Darling, that necklace goes farther by updating virtually every look you've ever worn and you'll have it for years to come.
Which brings me back to my urge to shop: since leaving the corporate world 18 months ago and chasing after 2 young children, my wardrobe revolves around Lulu's and jeans when I'm at home. So I had a serious itch to buy myself a new black dress. I declared that I was going to splurge and get that smashing outfit to match my bling. Clearly I'm aware that my urges completely contradicted the advice that I usually espouse; but I just couldn't help myself. So what did i do? I bought two black dresses. That's right...TWO! From...Joe Fresh - both on sale for $14.99 and purchased while I grocery shopped with my youngest child.
Seriously - what unbeatable prices and unbeatable style! My new Stella & Dot jewels look stunning against these easy-to-wear dresses, and it really goes to show that you can make something cheap and chic look like a million bucks. To be quite honest - I am loving Joe Fresh. Every time I'm picking up groceries, I can't help but peruse the aisles seeking out the latest trends. I officially enjoy my weekly jaunts to the grocery store.
Unlike the $220 in groceries that lasted a week, my $14.99 dresses will get me through this season in style - and my $218 Stella & Dot Marrakesh Bib will be with me for years to come.

Style that lasts? Now that's priceless.
