I'm a big proponent of the motto "Buy less, choose well." I don't shop very often, which made composing this list both very hard and very easy. I mainly spend my "fun" money on dinners out, weekends away, or new books. But today, I wanted to share my 5 favorite fashion buys of 2017 thus far. You can trust me when I say I really do love the hell out of the 5 following items.
1.) Superga Cotu Classic Shoes, $59
I was introduced to my first pair of sparkly Supergas through my aunt Jennifer (who owns Cakewalk Style Shop in Houston, TX) a few years ago. I find that these sneakers are versatile enough for casual work days, running errands in on the weekends, and work well with rolled jeans and a tank. I love the beigey-gray color, too:
2.) BaubleBar Lariat Choker Necklace, $21.60
I've been secretly praying that chokers would become a "thing" again since I was 12. Now that they are finally back, I've purchased a few different inexpensive chokers online only to sadly return them. The one version I adore and think you will too is by BaubleBar, of course. The Lariat Choker (only $21.60 right now) has two gold tassels at each end that can hang loose or be tied in a cute bow. I wear this baby everywhere!
3.) Target Crochet Midi Bikini, $40
Also known as, the world's most flattering bikini. My go-to for swimsuits always has been and always will be good ol' Tar-jay. They have a million styles to choose from, you can conveniently try on each bikini, and they are all fairly inexpensive. A win-win-win! I found this crochet two-piece at a Target in Indianapolis when I was freelancing for HGTV in March, and finally got to wear it out to the Hamptons this past weekend. The adjustable straps and ties are forgiving and the push up is a nice little perk (pun definitely intended).
4.) Eberjay Gisele Short PJ Set, $102
I am fairly certain I've included this PJ set in a "best buys" post before, but even so, I can't miss an opportunity to rave about them again. I was gifted this set at Christmas and I feel like I haven't taken them off since. The material is so soft it nearly feels like silk, even though it's a durable rayon/polyester mix. I have the navy set but after browsing through the Eberjay website to prepare for this post, I realize I now need this gray version with chartreuse piping:
5.) Frida Tote by Lumi, $139.95
The Frida tote in lime green has become my official bag of summer. It carries everything, has short handles or long shoulder straps, and is such a fun color. I attached a floral scarf keychain to mine:

And 3 things on my wishlist that are under $23 - these pretties, this, and this. And if you love the matching top and bottom look as much as me, you'll probably love this too.
Happy Hump Day!
XOXO,
Sam
