Winter is basically here, believe it or not, which means the holidays (and all the events that come with them) are sneaking up on us fast. Since we all can't afford a new outfit for each endeavor, look no further than a closet staple that will guide you through the season: stylish tops. Our favorite item to shop for, an amazing top can create a mood, make a statement, boost confidence, and so much more.
