Lucky Shopping Manual - Tops

Did you think I forgot about this little feature? Well, I didn't ~ I just took a little break from it. Below is the third installment from The Lucky Shopping Manual - Building and Improving Your Wardrobe Piece by Piece.

I am in slight disagreement with Lucky on this installment showcasing tops though. Per Lucky, you only need 6 Work Tops, 4 Weekend Tops and 3 Fun Tops and "more" Fun Tops as needed. Personally, I don't think this is enough, but then again I ♥ clothes!

Also, Lucky shows in the book how to take one patterned top and make it winter professional, as well as, summer casual. I did similar looks with items currently found on the websites of Target, Payless and Chadwicks.

I don't know that I would of even recognized it. Its much brighter in person. I am not an oxford person usually cause they don't suit me but I love them!

I think you need more tops than they say as well. I mean if you are like me and don't have a washer and dryer...
