The marled lambswool après cardigan from J. Crew for $135I bought this sweater because my big-ass belly can just hang out from within those flaps without a care in the world. The vest underneath? Uh, I don't think so skinny girl.
#2 Rachel Zoe Slouchy Square Hobo from QVC for $38.68. Yes, you read that correctly! Don't pay attention to the fact that it is made of 100% PVC please. It might ruin the enjoyment of this bag.

dles Puff Sleeve Faux Fur Coat from Urban Outfitters for $168. I was NOT into UO for a very long time, but they have come back with some very cool stuff the last six months. I have bought quite a lot from their extremely reasonably priced lines lately. I also love a fur coat, always have. My godmother used to give me her daughter's hand-me-down fur rabbit clothes as a kid. I rocked those furs like I was the muse of J. Mendel.#4 The Charleen flat at Sam Edelman avail at Nordtrom for $49.90
I like Sam Edelman shoes because they are cute, decently made, comfy, and cheap. These flats, available in six colors (not all at Nordstrom) are very classic, but of the moment as well. You can opt for a neutral pair, but I just love the magenta ones.
#5 Ruffle t-shirt dress by Free People for $128.
If I were a rail, I would wear this with black tights and boots in a second. You could also layer it with a funky henley un
derneath, and one of my fur vests or coats over top. Even a big scarf would look good with it. I fantasize about the ease of wearing something like this, but alas, it is reserved for toothpicks, not I.#6 Last Dance Dotted Dress at Madewell for $178.
I am loving just about everything at J. Crew's little sister this seas
on, and this perfect dress is nor exception. It's a fantastic out to dinner option, or a dress down with denim option with a cool, vibrant-hued tight. I want it, I want it, I want it.#7 The Long ruffle skirt from Talbots for $199
This is a quintessential Jen item. I have always been a sucker for a long skirt, and add ruffles to it, and I
m first in line. I have not yet bought this given my current shape, but I'm scared to wait thinking they may not have it later in the season. Also, can you believe it's
Talbots? I just received their new catalog, and there were several things like this (minus that weird turtleneck and mom jeans) and this, that I think I want as well.#8 Kim Skinny Jeans by DL1961 at ShopBop for $158. I
will never buy these jeans because my ass will never been, and I don't even think was born this small. However, the rinse is divine, and the cuff makes it for me. I love a cuffed skinny jean.#9 Brynn Skinny Cargo Pant from Delia's for $49.50
Yes, the cargo is back and has been reinvented. While I prefer the ones on Madewell.com, I didn't want to dupe, and I had to find them at a good price, so I wen
t to my old reliable tween source, Delia's. Girls, remember to order larger since this store carrie
s Junior sizing. I like this pair because they can still be cute or sexy. Throw on a sky high Jimmy Choo like these, which I am waiting to buy for myself as a push gift, and a flowing top with a black leather mini jacket over, and you're ready for anything.#10 Leather Mini from the Gap for $228.00.
I know this goes over the limit, but if you buy it with the ruffle blouse for just $59.50, the look will be worth it. This ensemble looks just great in this pic, all put together, however, this girl is a model, so reality check this outfit. The sweater may be hideous, and Gap sweaters on the whole are crap, so buyer beware. Without th
e sweater this look could seem forced, so you might have to grab an understated fur vest, a long tuxedo jacket in a neutral color, or bag the shirt to wear with faded skinny jeans and flats, then add a boatneck blouse in cream and some flat brown boots to set off the leather skirt. Regardless, the skirt is very versatile, as you can see by my comments above.
I love the long ruffle skirt!
