Macy's One Day Sale

Ok guys, I got into a bit of shopping trouble yesterday. Trust me, I was not planning on attending the Macy's One Day Sale. I really wasn't.  The problem  began when I went in to do a merchandising project. Well, the  problem actually began with that elephant sweatshirt. I have loved that elephant sweatshirt since I first saw it a few months ago. The problem was it was $80. Call me crazy, but that seemed a little pricy for a sweatshirt. Let me also tell you that for my job I visit pretty much every Macy's and Dillard's in/near SLC. I visit these stores many times a month. Every time I was at one of these stores I would check on my sweatshirt. Check to see if it was on sale yet and if they still had my size. And today at the Macy's One Day Sale it was FINALLY one sale. Original price: $79.50 Price I paid: $39.80 I really have no excuses for the other purchases, besides I loved them. And in all fairness, I had been eyeing them for quite sometime too. Just not as diligently as I had the elephant sweatshirt.

Heart Blouse by QMack

Original Price: $79.00

Sale Price: $33.18

I love it because it reminds me of something Spencer Hastings

from Pretty Little Liars would wear.

Cardigan by Maison Jules

Orginal Price: $79.00

Sale Price $47.40

I loved how soft it was. Also it was 100% cotton,

Which means its less likely to pill and easy to wash.

(Never, ever, ever buy acrylic. Trust me on this one. Pill city.)

Elephant Sweatshirt by Lucky Brand

You guys know I love my animal motifs!

 

 

So what do you guys think? Which find do you like the best? Did you snag anything for yourself at the Macy's One Day Sale?

Coffee Date

Last week, I got to have a fun coffee date with an adorable friend of mine. I had to meet my friend straight from work. So I needed to look professional and fun! I always love a good cardigan, (have a mentioned that yet? ;)) And the one I wore on this day is one of my favorite purchase from the big Nordstrom sale last summer. I love the bright pick with the oatmeal color. The earrings I bought from Claire's when I needed them for my Halloween costume one year. I surprisingly find my self wearing them a lot! The only problem is if I hold my phone to my ear they fall right off. Anyone have any ideas about how to fix that? I love a good suggestion!
Here is what I wore to my coffee date:

Striped Cardigan- Halogen (Nordsrom)

Button Up Shirt- J.Crew Outlet (similar styles still available at www.jcrewfactory.com)

Jeans- AG Jeans "The Stilt" (similar styles still available at Nordstrom.)

Oxfords- Not Rated (Journeys)

"Pearl" Earrings: Claire's Boutique

 

Work

I just realized that a few weeks ago I uploaded these photos,

and wrote this entry but forgot to publish the post!

So its a few weeks late, but here is what I wore for a causal day at work:

Shirt: Layers Clothing (Now out of business)

Cardigan: American Eagle Outfitters (www.ae.com) Still available

Jeans: AG Jeans (www.Nordstrom.com) Similar styles available

Boat Shoes: Daniel Gray (www.shoebuy.com) Still available

Hair Pin: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Kitson store in LA)

 

My favorite thing about this sweater is the zipper detail.

I love how a simple thing like a zipper on a pocket, can

take a regular black boyfriend cardigan and make it just a

tad more exciting!

I have way too many cardigans, but I love how unique this one is!

Boyfriend Cardigan

One of my favorite wardrobe staples is the

boyfriend cardigan.

It's a great transition piece to help take some

of your favorite summer

pieces into the fall.

It is comfy, cozy, and is great for lots of different body types!

Here are some great affordable (all under $100) options I found that

are currently available online.

Check them out!
