The biggest void in many women’s wardrobes this time of year is a simple, affordable yet cute and pretty top. Something more substantial than a tee-shirt, but not overly complicated, that you can pair with simple bottoms to create a complete outfit. So I wasn’t surprised when this affordable navy and white v-neck top with a subtle puff sleeve from our J.Crew Factory round-up was our best seller. To see How to Wear it Three Easy Ways follow the link in our profile to head over to The Well Dressed Life.

I’m excited it’s May.
.
There’s a feeling of newness in the air, and an opportunity to reset.
.
I started off the month looking over the goals I set in January, both personal and professional.
.
Happily, I’m on track for most of them, and have time to reach the others with a bit of refocus.
.
So that’s what I plan on doing.
.
I find it so much easier to keep a positive outlook when you’re getting a good dose of daily sunshine, fresh air and can hear the birds chirping as you start your day.
.
I adore the springtime and we still have a TON of content to share.
.
Today, we’re kicking off May as we always do with a round-up of my favorite Amazon purchases from last month.
.
There’s a mix of everything today, including:
.
my favorite new CC cream,
.
slippers to help you clean,
.
a one-shoulder dress for your next getaway,
.
a gorgeous new cookbook,
.
and more.
.
