Socks and Boots...

Here's the look that you may have seen on the How Does She post this past Friday- But with another coat by Ralph Lauren. ... it's one of my favorites and has lasted forever. I think there is even a hole in the armpit... yep that's right.
 It's not quite black but it's not quite brown and goes with everything. 

You can find more details about this look here.

Over here today...

I am over here today. 

What does your coat say about you?

What does your coat actually say about you? Are you Bright and Sunny? Casual and Comfortable? Fun and Sassy?

Let me introduce you to my newest addition to my coat collection.

I love it because it is Simple yet Detailed.

Sorta like me!

 I am someone who likes things to be simple yet put a lot of time in the little details of things.

I am in love.

Love the bow

Love the ruffles

Pair it with a cute pair of tall boots 

You could also add a scarf...

What's your opinion?
With or without the scarf?

For more on how to choose a coat and where I got these pieces- stay tuned for Friday's How Does She post.

Clearance Racks are my friend.

An excuse I always hear women use when explaining why they don't have anything to wear is that they don't have enough money to shop. But as the queen of Savvy shopping- I am here to tell you that you can do it and stay within your budget!

Here is an example of an outfit that is pretty much put together from items I purchased on a clearance rack or something that has been gently used:

Dress: Again Consignment

Belt: Vintage from Grandma Shirley's Closet

Shoes: Clearance at Ross

Leggings: Zara Clearance rack

Scarf: Macy's Clearance sale

Sweater: Clearance at Target

Tips?

1) Hit the clearance and Sale racks first even if you aren't looking for something specific. You just might find something you have been looking for but forgot about it.

2) Buy items that can go with items you already have at home so you are more likely to wear them.

2) Check out your local thrift or consignment shops for hidden treasures. You will be surprised!

3) Be open to possibilities with each item you buy. This top was a size too big but I decided to belt it...and like magic. It works.

Enjoy the fabulous fall weather ladies! Now go hit up those Clearance Racks!

xoxo.

Don't forget to visit me on How Does She this Friday!

Stay Gold...en.

Her name is Darlene.  

Stay Golden is the name of her blog. 

But not because she is wearing a gold necklace. (don't you just love it?)

She has great style.

I love taking her photo.
