Rag & Bone sweater (similar), Xhilaration jeans (another version I adore), heels c/o Luichiny, and Zara handbag

I may have found the softest sweater ever in this Rag & Bone top that I stumbled upon while browsing last season's DvF blouses and colorful Paige denim at one of my favorite sources for discounted designer wares. (I would tell you the location of my secret shopping destination, but then then there wouldn't be any dirt cheap finds left for me.) The simple silhouette and neutral color of the top may have been something that I would've overlooked in the past, until I felt the super soft fabric and fell in love with the easy fit. Lately, I've been focusing on making quality basics a higher priority.

Instead of my usual ankle boots, I added a bold pop of color in the form of these towering 6" heels with a chunky silhouette that I can always count on for both comfort and stability. I always appreciate being half a foot taller, especially when there's a substantial platform involved.

How to style bold red heels? I prefer to go with neutrals in simple shapes so that the shoes can be the center of attention.

Oh Melissa, I am in love!! I think polka dots are my new favorite affliction ;) And I think you've been reading my mind because I kid you not, I circled a top just like this in my newest fash mag :)

Love it all!

So are you going to take me there the next time I come without my child? Hee hee. You styled these pants perfectly! I love the red heels and I can't wait until it cools down enough for me to wear my pair! <3
