I actually found something for Fall when I Spring sale shopping at Sears last weekend. I spotted this grey plaid skirt from Covington collection for $4.99. Originally selling for $36. AWESOME. Gray is supposed to be the Fall’s color trend so I’m slightly incorporating it in my wardrobe. Just slightly though. Not going overboard since I like my clothes to transition in any season and any year, . Anyway, back to the Covington skirt. I’m going to wear it tomorrow to Church for our Homecoming with my dark blue MOD blouse from CATO and the black knee-high boots for …read more

The Fall Style Poll which started on August 7th has been getting a lot of attention thanks to all of you stylish, fabulous bargain fashionistas . So far we have 21 votes :

8 — dark colors
7 — knee-high boots with dresses/skirts
6 — coats/jackets
0 — baggy clothes (thank God)
0 — UGGS (hallelujah)

Interestingly enough, UGGS is not getting any votes  which makes me happy, don’t get me wrong,  but where are the UGGS supporters? Maybe coz they prefer wearing them fugly boots during the Summer when it’s sunny in California? Aha, Aha, Aha…….

My family and I are leaving tomorrow for a 1 week vacation in Upstate NY. So I won’t be posting during those times. I could probably check e-mails using my mother-in-law’s computer but other than that I’m going to enjoy our vacation without internet. Well I will try anyway, . I hope you all miss me and my bargains. I originally thought of posting scheduled entries but I don’t feel right not responding to your comments right away and if I post any bargains today, by the time they’re posted, the sale is probably gone. So in …read more

That’s a Libertine Striped Bow Blouse from Target. No offense to the designers Johnson Hartig and Cindy Green who are known for their artful collaboration to create vintage posh and pepster chic but this blouse with big bow tied around the neck won’t be gracing my closet anytime soon. Granted the oversized bow is removable I just don’t see the point of it. I understand they’re trying to maintain their bold approach on their creations but it’s just not my style. Having that bow around my neck would drive me absolutely insane probably close to death. Blame it in …read more

I’m following(copying, whatever )in Sasha’s footsteps and declare my own love affair with dresses. Next to shoes(except sneakers and flats), I go insane over dresses. Classics, prints, different fabrics/cuts/styles, bring ‘em all. I wear it during Spring/Summer season with heels and wedges and during Fall/Winter with my knee-high boots. I have my own collection, albeit shoes takes more precedence, I’m slowly getting there in having quite a reasonable selection. In this inset picture(I cropped my hubby’s picture out), I’m wearing a black halter print dress that I found at AAFES years ago for less than $20 I …read more

DKNY is one of the few designers I don’t mind indulging on from time to time. When I was still single which was 10 years ago and not necessarily thinking about all sorts of bills, my children’s future, etc, I was wise enough to buy myself 2 DKNY bags. I still have them of course, however, I don’t use them that often. The big one is good for traveling so that’s when it gets it’s own mileage. The other one which is a mini-backpack could serve as a an everyday bag but with all the goodies I fill …read more

People would probably be surprised to know that not all On Sale clothing items end up in my closet. Just because they’re on sale that doesn’t mean I like them. Yah know. This usually happens because I’m not necessarily impressed with the design or style of a certain item. Not all bargains are stylish worthy. See, I’m a bargain fashionista who knows what looks good on me and tries to stick with my OWN style identity that I’ve cultivated and nurtured for myself through the years. Anyway, enough with the dramatics ……….
Here is a classic example of …read more

If I’m not in dresses and heels(wedges), I’m wearing jeans and graphic tees and stilettos (or wedge, platform flip flops). Here I am today in my new OLD NAVY long dark-wash boot cut jeans($14.99), L.E.I graphic tee with ruched sides at the hem that I found at AAFES(military department store) last Memorial Day sale for only $4.25. It used to be $17. STEAL!. Black “buckle” stilettos from another AAFES store back when we used to live in NY, $12.
I cuffed the ends of the jeans by the way ‘coz they’re just too long. I don’t want to trip over …read more

I have been really in love with polka-dot prints lately. Well actually, it started late last year. I’ve bought dresses and tops with dots on ‘em to appease this burgeoning addiction of mine. Even underwear actually, . I’ve oogled at polka-dot shoes as well but I haven’t taken that plunge yet though. I’m sure it won’t be long now though.
For you my fabulously thrifty stylish readers, I found a polka-dot wrap dress from Macy’s on sale for $36.75. Down from it’s original price of $98. NICE.

This sophisticated wrap dress with surplice V-neckline that ties …read more
