Giveaway: Burlington Coat Factory Gift Card

When I was little, I was sure that the only use of Burlington Coat Factory was, well, coats. And not just any coats, but those super puffy winter ones that our moms would make us wear.

But I wrong! Just on my most recent visit, here’s some of the trends I saw featured on the racks of this awesome off-price retailer:

• BoHo – fringe vests, Sherpa vests, maxi skirts, fringe handbags
• MOTO – tough motorcycle look; ripped jeans, leather jackets, vests
• Destroyed Denim – Not just a whole in the knee; the entire jean is shredded for an updated look.
• Buffalo Check – the hottest pattern in all of the latest colors.
• Graphic, Colorful Tees – guys have updated the graphic tee now with bright colors
• Plaid – Argyle vests for a new twist on preppie
• Denim – all with funky back pocket treatments
• Printed/Graphic woven’s – button downs with edgy prints on the sleeves, back or chest.

Not too shabby! (Unless you want shabby-chic, which you’ll also find there.)

I was so wow’d by the fabulous designers I found at deep discounts that I was compelled to share my discovery. Two winners will each win a $50 Burlington Coat Factory Gift Card!
