This was my Valentine's Day outfit for running errands. I kept it comfy, warm and low key because we have been battling a stomach virus. No Valentine meal or celebration for us, just curling up on the couch to watch the Walking Dead.

I told you yesterday I was in a grey mood last week. Here is another grey outfit. I love the two shades with the black and white stripes and the pop of leopard. My mood has improved but the grey outfits may continue. I love grey as a soft neutral in the winter.

Saturday Shopping- Finds under $25

Last week's Saturday shopping post got a lot more views than normal, so that tells me I hit the nail on the head when I said we were all spent out or vowed to save money. Nonetheless, it's still fun to shop and find good deals. Here's another round up of items under $25! Items are either already under $25 or final price with retailer's coupon or reduction will be under $25.

This round up includes some basics like the JCrew stripe turtleneck, some girly statement pieces like the lace skirt from Loft and some just for fun stuff like the pineapple pencil holder and Braids, Buns and twists book!

 

Happy Shopping!

Finds under $25- Saturday Shopping

Let's face it, most of us are spent out after Christmas. We made a resoulution to save money, spend less. If this is you and you still want to shop, you're still in luck. There are some major sales out there right now on things you can wear for a few more months and even into spring. Here are ten picks under $25! (Final prices come in under $25 after codes and automatic discounts at the retailer's site.) Some sizes are limited.

Happy Shopping!

I really liked this outfit when I wore it, but I'm not liking how the shirt looks over the jeans in the photos. The jeans are very thick and the fitted tee over them is adding a little too much bulk in the middle. Next time I'll wear them with a looser shirt or do a tuck. Nonetheless, I still like the combination of navy and olive with a denim jacket. The jeans look a little grey here but they are actually a shade of olive.

If you are looking for a basic piece that adds some punch, look no further than a black and white striped tee. There are thousands of ways to wear it, well okay, maybe just a few hundred, but it's a must have item in my opinion. All of  the pieces in this outfit are what I call basics but together with some quirky fun shoes and accessories (how cute and fun are these earrings ?), they make a not so basic outfit.

Here's a look back at the last time I wore these shoes:

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!

How do you wear stripes on stripes? With seersucker! It's the perfect tiny stripe base for any bolder stripe.

 

Something about Labor Day draws me to red, white and blue. Maybe it's because those colors, especially in stripes, will always say summer to me.

 

Are you looking forward to this weeked? Sales? travel? bar b ques? Or just relaxing with a day off? I'm looking  forward to all of it.
