Gifts for the Southern girl - Small Business Saturday

Here are some picks for the Southern girl or the southern at heart. You know southern ladies love their monograms and bling. ( I may be the exception, I don't have a lot of monogrammed stuff.) But I do love bling! 

It's also small business Saturday, so let's not overlook small business this shopping and giving season and show them some support. Here are my picks for awesome gifts from Harper and Jewels.

Saturday shopping - Nordstrom sale picks


Nordstrom sale picks

 
Happy Saturday! I hope your new year is going well so far. There are a couple of days left to shop the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale, so I thought I'd share some of my picks. These are based on some similar items I have that work well for my wardrobe and a couple of things that are just for fun. Whether you're getting much needed basics or a few splurges, sale time is always the best time to make these purchases.
 
Tweed coat- This will go with everything, casual and business outfits.
Pleione top- Love these. They can be paired for casual wear (as seen here) , or dressed up for work ( as seen here).
Earrings- why not?
Cowl neck tunic- great with leggings. I love a cowl neck and this color is irresistible.
Riding boots- I have these in the wide calf size. Comfortable. (Styled here.)
Tote- I use one everyday to get my stuff to and from work.
Cardigan- throw it on over that Pleione top.
Poncho- Always a fun winter piece.
Ankle booties- this style goes well with both casual and dressier outfits.
Glitter Toms- 'cause we can always use a little sparkle in our day.
 
Happy Shopping.

We had a slight dip in the temps a couple of weeks ago. I went out for my morning run and it was in the 40's. I thought I could get away with wearing this on a quick shopping trip but by the time I dressed and left the house, the temps had risen back up to the high 60s/70 and I was roasting in this. I also didn't plan on shopping for me, just Christmas gifts for others. But I found a great sale on some slim leg pants and just had to try them on. I don't recommend wearing this many layers and boots if you are going shopping and will be trying on clothes. Just sayin.

Saturday shopping

I had a different feature planned for this week's Saturday shopping but I couldn't resist all the great sales out there.

Ann Taylor is having 50% off fall must haves with code HELLOFALL
Loft is taking 40% off EVERTHING with code FALL40
Banana Republic is taking 60% off all sale items with code BRSALE

Here are some of my picks


Here are some more things you just can't go wrong with for a fall wardrobe that will be on trend yet wearable year after year:

Ponchos are still in and this stripe poncho sweater from Loft would be a great one to have. I mean it has stripes.

Tweed- always classic yet trendy. Check out this layered tweed shift at Ann Taylor.

Military jacket-   they keep coming back in one form or another. This one is a steal at Banana Republic right now.

Plaid is always in and this olive color utility shirt  is perfect for this season too.

Happy shopping!

Saturday shopping - Get your fringe on

Fringe is a hot trend for fall. I'm not sure I'll be going all out but it would be fun to add a piece or two. I already own a poncho with fringe trim but it will be dead of winter here before I can wear that as fall temps will remain in the 80 -90s around here. Here are a few fun fringe picks to shop.




Happy Shopping!

We ran errands Saturday morning. We got the car serviced and upgraded phones. We haven't upgraded phones in 3-4 years. Why must that take 2 hours even when you are at the door when they open?
 
The weather was cool during the morning so I took the opportunity to wear this poncho I received as a Christmas gift. I now have three ponchos- a red one, camel, and a grey one, and I don't have near enough opportunities to wear them. I think my go to for styling a poncho is jeans and boots. How do you wear them?

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and still has a few days left to unwind and relax as we close out the year. I'm headed back to work for a few days but at least it's another short week. 

My mother gave me this poncho during the summer for my birthday and I finally got around to wearing it. Maybe in a few months I'll get to wear the other cold weather items I just got for Christmas. The temps went back up to 80 during the few days after Christmas so I may as well have gotten tshirts.  Oh well. 

I typically wear the red skirt as a summer item but was inspired by an outfit on pinterest to try it with a poncho. Here's a look at how I've worn it before.

I received this poncho as a gift Christmas 2011. I've only worn it one other time. I like it, but it rarely stays cold long enough here to get a lot of wear out of it. I wore it belted this time.
 
What pieces do you have that you like but can't wear often?

Poncho



Poncho- gift; skirt- ?; shirt- Old Navy
boots- Shoes.com; bracelet- made by me
Worn Jan 15, 2012

I got a poncho as a Christmas gift. I had to wait a couple of weeks for the temperature to be cold enough to wear it. I put it with an old long knit skirt and boots, but I think if I have more cold days, I need to work on other ways to wear it. Have you rocked a poncho this season? How do you wear it?
