Crave vs. Save

Ever walk into a store and eye a piece that you physically cannot walk away from? That's what happened to me when I spotted this leather peplum number by Rebecca Minkoff. It's like the thing developed a gravitational pull that would not let me go.

Now I've justified some ridiculous purchases in the past. But I just couldn't bring myself to spend almost $400 on a top that, even in all its buttery leather suppleness, I probably wouldn't wear more than once or twice. My inner goddess stomped her foot. (Hello, we are talking about a leather bondage-esque top. I couldn't resist the 50 Shades of Grey reference.)

And then as if the stars had aligned, I happened upon THIS just-as-cute-but-much-more-affordable version from Piperlime. Naturally, as any Pro Justifier would do, I took it as a cosmic sign that I must own this top. And bought it.

I can't wait to pair this top with pencil skirts for daytime and jeans and printed pumps for nighttime. Which top would you buy? Crave or save?

Well Dressed at the Gym

If you're fashion obsessed like me, even getting dressed for the gym can be a bit of a challenge. It's sometimes difficult to find workout clothes that are comfortable yet different from what every other woman is wearing. I was already in the process of scoping out some new gear when GigaSavvy contacted me to review activewear for women from Macy's. What great timing!

I was immediately drawn to THIS top by Ideology. I'm a sucker for fun, sexy backs on tank tops.

The top was comfortable and stayed put during my entire workout. The built-in shelf bra offered a decent amount of support without making me feel like I couldn't breathe. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this top for large-chested women, but for me it was perfect.

I paired this top with Ideology's Cropped Active Leggings for a quick yoga session this morning. Nothing like getting the day started on the right (and fashionable!) foot!
