       It's Tuesday Fashion Friends and almost a new year!  Today's post is a casual and very laid back one.  Let's be honest, no one is dressed up and "on it" everyday; I for one am not.  Being off of work for two weeks, this look is nearly a uniform for me.  A simple top or sweater and pair of jeans is a winner.  If you've been reading my blog from the beginning, then you likely remember that one of my first posts was about purchasing staple pieces at the end of a season at a highly reduced price.  Well, these boot are another example of me doing just that and shopping strategically.  I bought these boots from Belk in either January or February; the regular price was $110 and I paid $38 for them.  With January just a day or so away, you will see the final Winter items on clearance to make room for the new Spring lines to usher their way into stores (long before the start of Spring).  Over the next few weeks, be on the look out for staple pieces that you can wear again next Winter and in the years to come. 

  **One great clearance sale going on New Years Day is at The Limited, they will have an extra 70% off of select sale items and 40% off of new arrivals. 

  **This weekend  (Jan.3rd & 4th), The Limited will have an extra 60% off of all sale items.   

   **Also, check out Old Navy today (New Year's Day) as they have many great Winter pieces on clearance as well.  Use the code NEWYEAR to get an extra 30% off of your entire purchase. 

Happy Shopping!

      Happy Tuesday Fashion Friends!  On the 11th day of Christmas my favorite blogger gave to me... A great new post and a renewed promise to post more regularly.  I know it's been awhile, but the end of semester, work, and other obligations really got the best of me for a minute, but I AM BACK! 

    One of my go-to, quick and easy pieces for the Winter is a sweater dress.  I have several that I can wear alone or with a cardigan; wear to work, church or out to dinner.  The one I'm wearing is one of my favorites; I bought it last year from New York and Company (it was a part of the Eva Mendes line).  I usually wear this one to church because of the modest length, but it really could be worn other places as well.  One way that I make a rather simple sweater dress pop is with a great pair of printed tights.  I own between 10-15 pair and get a lot of wear out of them.  The booties are also from last year from Belk and I absolutely LOVE them!  The heel is kind of high, but they are comfortable and quite versatile.  I usually don't wear hats very often, but saw this one on sale at Forever 21 and figured why not give it a try.  The necklace is another great piece to add to top off any look.  Be sure to check out Purple Peridot, they have great accessories at very reasonable prices.  What is one of your Winter staples that never lets you down?

 

Enjoy any last minute shopping!
