Blogging Blunder
Sometimes the temptation of cute items beyond my price range can thwart me. Recently, a conscientious reader commented on a top I included in one of my "Loving..." posts. It was in regards to a nautical-striped Briton top by J. Crew - the cost of which was a whopping $85 - and accordingly, she kindly reminded me it was not very Realistic Chic. Although from time to time I do get sidetracked with the lovely but over-priced, I completely agree that, in this case, it was unnecessary. This blog, to quote my philosophy from my "About" page, is: "to stay away from posting high-end items that are so beyond my reach (although sometimes I may become...distracted), opting to blog about more financially accessible temptations."
So as a follow-up, and fun little challenge to myself, I have taken the liberty to seek out a more affordable version of said top.
A special thank you to Kyla for the reality check! <3

I just bought a striped top like these from H&M! Definitely realistic in price.
