Thrifting Thursday

I decided not to show my outfit today because I went thrift store shopping so I didn't have on anything significant.  I did pick up some good Spring/Summer outfit staples today while I was thrifting.  What do you think?

 Daily Deal

After spending so much money buying retail eyeglasses I discovered Coastal.com.  They sometimes give free pairs of glasses away all you have to do is pay for the lenses.  The deal below is good for a pair of glasses for $49 (including the Rx lenses) plus free shipping.  I got my current pair of glasses for $30, and I LOVE them.  They even have a really good tutorial on how to measure your face for glasses.  Try them out!

Wintery Spring

This weather is so confusing.  I don't know if I should wear boots with no tights, tights with shoes, or no tights?  I decided on wearing tights with shoes, that way I didn't look too "wintery" since it is Spring and it's about 68 degrees.  Do you  have specific "rules" you follow when it comes to boots, skirts and tights?

At least it's sunny

Today is still winter, but the sun is shining, so I'll take it!  I picked up this top at JCP on Friday.  See how little I paid for it here.  Again, JCP is worth checking out, with their new prices and overhaul of their tag system, you'll find some great deals!

Hello Winter....

Well winter is back.  I knew I shouldn't put my boots and coat away yet.  I have worn this outfit before but this time I changed up the accessories and added some additional colors to this outfit.  What do you think of these colorful accessories?

New Looks

Happy Saturday! (sorry I missed Friday) It was a rainy day yesterday and a bit chillier than it's been in a couple of weeks.  I wore one of my favorite jacket/blazers with one of my favorite scarves and instead of tying the scarf in some fancy way I just let it hang.  I really like this look and will probably do it again soon!

Went shopping with my grandma yesterday.  I have been wanting to go to JCPenney to see their new clothes and to see their new way of doing things. Click here if you haven't seen the new commercials (featuring Ellen) or their new marketing initiative. I'm in market research so I was very interested in seeing how this new strategy would work for them.  Basically JcPenney had to overhaul their stores in order to stay in business.  Consumers that shopped at JCPenney were ONLY buying their sale items, so basically they decided to revamp their approach.  Not only did they lower their prices by 40% they also implemented a new way of pricing things.  Instead of their tags saying $14.99 or $34.99, they simply say $15 or $35. Also there are two price systems;"Everyday" prices and "Best"prices, which are items that are on clearance.  New items are given "Best" prices every first and third Friday of the month.  They also have streamlined their tags to be easy to read, no more stickers overlapping stickers, or signs that say 40% off the lowest price, yadda yadda.  And last but not least they have little boutiques inside their stores.  For instance MNG by Mango has all of their merchandise in one area, just like other department stores like Macy's are organized.  

 

With that being said, I saw a lot of great merchandise for good prices.  I picked up two items at the "Best" price.  I bought this skirt of $10 and a shirt for $9! To see jcp's new website click here.

Casual Pencil Skirt

Today I was able to dress more casually and I decided to try something I read on the Putting Me Together blog.  In Audrey's post "Ways to Dress Down a Pencil Skirt" she shows you different ways you can take our pencil skirt and make it more casual.  Until I read this post I would always wear this pencil skirt with a blazer and a fancier top to dress up for work. I never tried to dress it down.  Audrey from Putting Me Together is a master at creating a larger wardrobe simply by remixing your clothes.  Check out her remixing tips.

Is simple good?

I love wearing this blazer and all black.  But after a few weeks of trying to mix it up a bit with colors, I was stumped when it came to this outfit.  I am not sure what other colors to pair with this outfit.  I just want to give it a little pizazz, or to add something to give it a different look...What would you pair with this outfit?

p.s. Sorry for the horrible picture of myself.  My sister is cringing right now with how bad the lighting is here.  This weekend I need to work on finding a better place to take my pictures!
