Saturday Shopping- sale finds

Hello friends! I hope you are having a great weekend. I'm off to a slow start because I'm nursing a cold, but it's not bad enough to stop me from doing a little online window shopping.

JCrew is having a 25% off total with code SHOPNOW

Ann Taylor is giving 40% off total purchase with code YESPLEASE

and Loft has 40% off select items, no code needed.

Here are my picks from each:




Denim skirts in a 70's vibe are everywhere this fall and the Loft denim skirt fits the bill.

I have a chambray dress and it's a great piece to throw on and go or use as a blank pallet for adding fall layers and dressing it up with riding boots, a hat, or scarf, or all three.

Cobalt, marsala and leopard in one piece?! Snatch up this JCrew perfect shirt now.

I'm also having a sale in my Poshmark Closet. Purchase two or more items for 50% off the total!





Happy Shopping!

Fall vibes

worn Sept 2, 2015


Okay, even though I said a few weeks ago that I was not letting go of summer, you guys got to me and I started adding a few fall vibes to my outfits. Here I went with a non-seasonal look and added a statement necklace with fall colors.  I just put in place a GYPO work wear challenge 2014 formula of bright top+ black pants+ leopard shoes+ statement necklace. That's easy dressing. Pick any color and it works.

Summer brights and favorites



 
Blouse- TJMaxx (old)  option   option
jeans- Loft
wedges Old Navy-old  option  option
necklace- JCPenney  option
headwrap- Ulta
worn June 7, 2015
 
Every now and them I break out of a rut and try something different. Like this headwrap/ headband. I love the look on others but I'm never quite sure of myself when I wear one. But one thing I'm sure of is white jeans. Every outfit combination I think of lately involves white jeans or white trousers for work. I've had to keep myself in check to keep from wearing them over and over.

I have worn this blouse a couple of times with coordinating blazers but it's so cute, it needed a chance to shine on it's own. I paired it with cobalt pants for a church outfit. Minus a blazer, this wouldn't go over well at work but I loved it this way for church or for a lunch or party maybe. The back has a cute little tie detail that always gets covered by blazer.


Here are the last two ways I wore the top:

Bright colors and I'm not ashamed



 
Cardigan- August Silk/ TJMaxx  option  option
shirt- JCrew Factory  option  option
pants- Loft  option
shoes- JCPenney
Worn- March 23, 2015

It's spring so I have pulled out the color, and have found a way to wear these pants other than pairing them with black and white. The last time I wore them I mused about how I had always paired them with black and white. And I'm not ashamed to say I flat out copied this look from Jessica at Here and Now. I just swapped the skirt from her look for pants. I'm also on the hunt for another cardigan in this color. This one has seen a lot of wear over several years and is fading.

Plaid pants- five ways

I guess you  know by know that I really like this cobalt color, in  particular these shoes. These shoes run around 22-$30 at Payless depending on sales and they are from their comfort plus line. And they are truly comfortable. I'm not paid by Payless to say that. I don't mind letting you know when something is a great deal. In fact, I've got a pair ordered from this line in nude and bought a black and white pair while they were on sale last week.
 
But this really wasn't about the shoes. It's about the pants. I almost didn't buy them because they were more of a splurge than a need, but I'm glad I did. I've found several outfit possibilities in them during the winter. The last time I wore them I realized I should pair them with a cobalt top. I was originally thinking the cobalt sweater, but decided to go with a lighter layer since the weather is warming up. Silly Mother Nature actually gave me a cold day last week when I wore this and I could have worn the sweater. Oh well.
 
Below are five ways to wear these pants (including the above outfit.)

Winter brights



Top- JCrew Factory option
sweater- Gap option option
pants- Loft option option

Worn Jan. 9, 2015

I knew I could pair these pants with something other than black and white. How about an all out bright outfit to break up the winter greys? Are you sick of winter yet? Some of us get all excited about sweater, scarves and boots, and then quickly get tired of the layers and long for the shorts and tees. I'm still enjoying being able to go out and about without sweating.
