New In

I'm still in the process of updating pieces in my closet, and found this to be a worthy addition.

Open-Front Patterned Coat, $39.97; oldnavy.com

While "clearance browsing" this weekend, I spotted this coat. I was sold on the pattern, and it's versatility. Perfect for cool spring days, as well as fall.

New In

Ah yes, the clearance sales are in full swing! My favorite store (T.J. Maxx) has one of the best. Yesterday (Jan 8th) marked the start of their "yellow tag" clearance, in-store. It applies to all merchandise, but as usual I didn't get past the jewelry counter! I ran across this fabulous watch from Lacoste, which is something that I really need. It was a "steal" at $69, as it retails for $315.

It's also available at macys.com for $219, and amazon.com for $147.99

Lacoste Women's Chronograph "Charlotte" Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch 40mm 2000833.

Clearance, Clearance, Clearance!

I can hardly wait for this time of the year, when the stores drastically slash the prices on spring and summer items. I go from one to the other scouring the racks for "hidden jewels." I've featured some of my recent purchases.

I found this Ports 1961 top at one of my local haunts for $6.99!
What an adrenaline rush....it's retail price was $395. Imagine
my surprise when I found it on Ebay (that's where the
pictures were taken from) selling for $179.

At $5, the open-weave top will prove to be a heck of a
buy, as it can be worn most of the year with various
pieces. The sandals were $17.....I love the contrasting
colors....the heels are pewter-ish in color. Both are from
J.C. Penneys.



I found these Adrienne Vittadini wedges
at Marshalls for $10. Very nice leather,
and comfortable.

Another Marshalls find. Kenneth Cole
Reaction, for $7....I love the snakeskin
wedge. Also very confortable.



This is such a pretty,  and feminine dress. Another
J.C. Penneys' buy....it was on clearance for $17.

This Ralph Lauren, linen shirtdress was another steal! Also
found at a locally owned favorite, for $4.99....it's retail
price was $199! The gold buttons really add to it's chic
look....I can hardly wait to wear it!
