On the weekends, I tend to like to dress down and choose more comfortable outfits to wear than I would pick for the work week. I realized recently, that I don't have too many casual tops that are specifically for the weekend.

Fab Finds: The Devil is in the Details
You know the phrase "the devil is in the details," well when shopping at Marshall's or even a consignment shop it's the details you should be on the look out for when scouring the racks. It can take an awful long time to find the diamond in the rough at places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, who's racks are stuffed to the brim, Fillmore & 5th, or Afterwards, both peninsula consignment shops, but if you have an eye for detail and quality it's actually not too hard to spot a winner.
