Piko Top: I’ve already started making good on my promise to buy multiples of an item when I really like it. And boy do I really like these Piko tops.

Easy and cheap pieces like this can really make an outfit, especially if you’re wanting to get in on a trend but still dress your age. I can’t think of a better way to do that than with a $10 necklace (here’s one that’s comparable).

I held off buying them because I wanted to find the right pair that would fit well, not look too cheap and not require me to take out a loan.

Patterned Heels: Well, I’ve already given you some good ideas here.
