I can’t believe there are only 3 days left till 2016 – where did the year go, right?

As we’re all getting ready to step into a brand new year, now is a great time to bring new beginnings into our lives, and experiment with some fresh new fashion elements to mix things up.

Today’s  #MarkdownMondays is a collection of 5 new takes on the old “tried and true” – introducing a fun new pattern, a different & slightly more impractical fabric with accents (gold and feathers!), a touch of playfulness with a cupcake in your bag (or for your bag, actually), and a statement necklace.

Check them out! All items currently have an additional discount applied to an already low sale price at these amazing retailers below (all prices are reflected in the collage).

Enjoy – Happy Styling & Happy NEW YEAR!!
