I love to wear loose fitted clothing. Have you noticed that yet about me? It’s all about comfort AND style for me. I mean, a girl still has to EAT. Am I right? LOL. Sure, I love skinny jeans, jeggings, leggings, and fitted flare. But at the end of the day, I NEVER want to feel uncomfortable or self-conscious. So, I typically choose looks that give me a little room to breathe. I have learned that confidence is the prettiest thing you can wear. If you don’t FEEL good in something… it will show. So, my motto is to dress for comfort first and then style. Everything else will just work out on its own.
This dress from Zara is the perfect example of something you’ll always find me wearing. Tight on the bottom – loose on the top. While the style is no longer available for purchase, I did find several versions online that are SUPER CLOSE to the vibe of the piece.

Short Sleeve option – under $40
… more here.
I found a splurge and I wanted to include it in this post because I thought it was such a nice dress. But I had to split it out from the rest of the list because it is NOT under $50!! 🙂 Be warned.
Great option if you don’t mind spending some extra dough.
What do you think about seasonal plaid? I just love it! I will take it in a tunic or in a dress. Any which way. 🙂 I hope you like the options I chose for you because I think their prices are GREAT – something for everyone.

Do You Use The Like To Know It App?
There is a really fun way to shop for clothes online. In fact, it’s probably the only way I find new clothes these days. I honestly get all my style inspiration from Instagram these days and all my clicks through the Like to Know it app. It’s the EASIEST way for me to stay on top of my favorite fashionistas and their holiday picks. The app is a social based shopping service. The people I follow online link their accounts to the app and then I can see what everyone likes all in one place.
SCORE! It has changed the way I shop online.
The Like To Know It app has become the easiest way to shop! Here’s how it works. Download the app in the App Store and sign up (all you need to give is an email and password!)
After that, use Instagram as you normally would. Like, heart, comment – the norm! If someone you follow has the @liketoknowit tag on their picture and you LIKE their picture, that image will show up in your app. It pretty much bookmarks your LIKE for later. That way you can shop that look if you choose.
You don’t even have to use Instagram to use the LTK app. You can just go to the app itself and search for looks, blogger names, hashtags – whatever. Sometimes, I just sit and search for new people and get inspired. It’s my new Vogue.
If you type in Vera Sweeney in the search bar, I will pop up. Or you can just click here and follow me. 🙂 This will show you EVERY outfit I ever put on Instagram – ever! One swoop. BOOM. So easy. With every clickable link already set up for you.
If you don’t want to sign up, you don’t have to – you can always just shop my looks through this link. Just bookmark it and you can see everything I post all in one place. Nice and simple. You won’t even have to search the blog. It’s just all on one URL nice and simple.
Sometimes I post things on the Like to Know it App that isn’t on my blog or on Instagram – it’s JUST for people who follow me on the app. So, it’s worth checking out that link every now and then anyway.
Do you already use the app? What do you think about it? Would love to hear!
