2019 is finally here and with that comes the resolutions, new goals and of course changes to one’s closet. For me this means getting rid of things that I didn’t use the year before as well as doing a bit of a “refresh” in adding some new pieces that I can use with what I already have.

I personally love shopping once the holiday season ends because the end of season sales that are happening right now  provide a great way to refresh your closet  From coats, bathing suits and even shoes, you can literally build a new wardrobe should you really wish to, all without breaking the bank!

So on the final weekend of 2018 I headed out to Long Island with my mother to do just that. I managed to get some items, two of which I styled for this casual look.  It is as step away from what I usually go for though it is very comfy so if anything this is something I will be wearing during my next shopping recon trip and may even next fall to go pumpkin picking.

For this Lane Bryant top, I sized up to an 18 to have more room to accommodate my upper-arms, but I also like that this also allowed me to have a more oversized fit that emphasized the high-low ruffle hem. I really like the convertible roll-tab sleeves because that gives me a chance to roll them down should I ever get cold. Combat lace-up boots have become a staple for me  I had yet to have a pair in brown so I figured with Avenue having there 50% off boots sale it was a great chance to add some to my collection. Avenue is really my go-to when it comes to boots because they tend to be true wide width so they are stylish and on trend as well as comfortable. Seriously, their shoe  collection is not called Cloudwalkers for nothing. If you’re in the market for some wide width boots definitely go check out their sale before it ends which should be soon.
