My Saturday Staple: The Long Cardigan

Saturday mornings are bliss. It is my time to spend an hour drinking coffee- catching up on emails and the weekly happenings that I may have missed.

One of my weekend wardrobe essentials is a long cardigan. I throw that on over a v-neck t-shirt and I am ready to go.

Now I have a splurge option as well as a steal option.

So the first option is from Tory Burch and is the splurge. The Simone cardigan is so wonderful and is flattering on all shapes! It retails for $225 BUT I have NEVER paid that for one. I wait until the out of season colors go on sale and then I wait for an extra 25% off sale coupon and that brings the price down significantly.

Now the steal option is ironic because this line is designed by Tory Burch's ex-husband, and the line is called C. Wonder.

His store strongly resembles Tory but his prices are significantly less. 

His sweater, the signature mid-length cardigan retails for $78. I have never paid this price either. This cardigan goes on sale all of the time and there is usually a 50% off sale coupon going around as well.

As you can see the two options are almost identical! I own both and I love them both. 

Does any one else have a weekend staple?

Have a wonderful Saturday!

The Perfect Maxi...... Dress

The verdict is still out as to whether or not my boyfriend likes me in a maxi dress. I however love them and don't really care what he thinks, I think they are glamourous and I always feel sophisticated when I throw one on.

I also love when I find a deal that is a deal all the time!

Behold the $9.80 maxi dress from Forever 21! I am not joking it is always $9.80!

Seriously best deal ever and it comes in 5 different colors: Black, Royal, Heather Grey, Olive Green, and Burgundy.  I think everyone needs all 5!

Throw a sparkly necklace on and your ready for a night on the town!

Goodnight ya'll!

Bargain Hunting for Accessories

Necklaces and scarves can instantly update your look. A plain t-shirt can suddenly be turned into an adorable, put-together, polished look. The even better part about accessories is that if you know the right places to shop they are affordable.

Yesterday I scored some awesome deals at my best kept secret in Blacksburg, Charlotte Russe. There is not a whole lot of shopping in Blacksburg so you definitely have to venture out and wander into some stores that might not typically be on your radar.

The great thing about Charlotte Russe is that they often have great sales. Yesterday they were having spend $50 get $10 off. On top of that they had select items on sale. ALL SCARVES WERE $5!!!

The other cool thing is that almost all of there jewelry is 2 for $10. You really can't beat that.

Here is what I scored...

Both the gold necklaces were $5 a piece and the blue necklace was $8.99. These accessories will certainly add some fun to the tops and dresses in my wardrobe!

Any one else find some awesome accessories for an even better price lately?

Snowed In

I realize I haven't posted in about a week and a half but it has been quite busy around here.

At the beginning of the week I picked up the March edition of People StyleWatch. We were featured as one of "10 Things to Try This Month". Super exciting and we have already seen an increase in users on the site and app! 

Then came the snow... 

It was fun for the first day... and now it is a gross slushy mess!

And yesterday was Valentine's Day! 

Olive Garden take out with my boyfriend, brother and his girlfriend. It was delicious! Except they forgot the best part.. dessert!

Hope everyone had a good week and is having a relaxing weekend! Be sure if you are going out tonight to post your outfits to the site!
