If your New Year’s resolution is to spend more time in the gym, you’re probably searching for some new workout clothes that won’t empty your bank account. We put together a list of places to find affordable workout gear that is also stylish. These stores have a selection that is not just great to wear to and from the gym, but also comfortable enough for just lounging at home for those days you’d rather curl up on the couch with a good book rather than hit the gym.

Forever 21

A big project this past weekend was cleaning out the closet and sorting through piles of clothes and shoes that have accumulated over the years.

Shoes in particular are something that it’s easy to buy too many of.  With all of the sales, and the upcoming spring collections showing up in stores, it’s tempting to go and buy even more.  To make sure that you spend smartly, here are our picks for eight must-have shoes.  Over the next few weeks, we’ll provide our top budget picks for each.

Ballet Flats

Ballet flats are the ultimate versatile shoe for any lifestyle (work, play, errands, weekend, casual, travel).  If there is any shoe you can buy more than one pair of, this is it.

Classic Black Pump

A black pump is a necessity for work, and perfect with a wrap dress, sheath, suit or trousers. Pointed toes  elongate your leg and work best with cropped pants.

Nude Pumps

What’s great about nude pumps is that they work great with an outfit of any color, and can be dressed up with a cocktail dress, or dressed down with jeans. Choose a round toe or peep-toe version.

Tall Boots

Boots for fall and winter are perfect for when you want to stay warm, but still want to look stylish. If you need to choose one, we love flat heels since they are the perfect combination of comfort and style, and great for traveling or when you’re not in the mood for wearing heels.

Espadrilles

This is the perfect shoe for summer, and adds height without the wobble. It’s one of the few shoes that is versatile enough to be worn with capris, shorts, or a dress.

Kitten Heels

The height these shoes provide is perfect for those days when you know and want to look feminine, yet have tired feet from wearing high heels all week.

 

Evening Heels

Every girl needs a pair of going out shoes, that lets you feel your most feminine and beautiful. For a more fun version, choose a peep-toe or sandal version.

Booties or Ankle Boots

The bootie has been on-trend for a while now and is a great choice when you want something a little more edgy. It’s also perfect for a night out, when you want to cover up a bit more of your foot.

Bow tops are a great alternative to your normal everyday sweater when the temperature drops. It’s a great way to look chic while staying comfy and warm. Get a look similar to Emma’s for just $29!

Rose gold continues to be a huge trend this season.  The Diamond Tiara Bangle from Ippolita is especially breathtaking but the $1,095 price tag is not something that fits into the average budget.

We found a similar but much more affordable version with Stella & Dot’s set of 3 bracelets for $79 (below).

We were so excited when we found out that the Pantone Color Institute had selected Emerald Green as its 2013 Color of the Year, so we’re excepting to see more and more of this color in 2013. In fact, we’ve already heard rumblings of Pantone partnering with Sephora, JC Penney, and Coach to release collection of products in Emerald this spring.

Since Emerald represents renewal and rejuvenation, the start of 2013 seems like a fitting time to add some pieces in this gorgeous color into your wardrobe.

Here are a few of our top picks – all under $200:

Madewell Strapless Emerald Green Dress - $130

Nail Jewelry - $9.50

Emerald iPhone 5 Case -$35

 

Tbags Los Angeles Jersey Maxi Dress - $188

Vans Hiker Canvas - $45

 Coach Leather Legacy Wallet - $68

Dipped in Gold Heel - $95
