It's really getting chilly where I am and I crave long, comfy sweaters to get me through my days of teaching, coaching, and trying to maintain order at home. If you read my last post, I don't own my own washing machine yet so I can't wash my clothes often which leaves me one choice: re-wear the dirty clothes over and over BUY NEW ONES #yay I headed to Marshalls after Cheerleading practice and scored!
1. Calvin Klein Structured Tweed Jacket with leather hems $49.99
This jacket screamed Olivia Pope and was affordable at the same time! I don't know if you've seen the Olivia Pope inspired clothing line at The Limited, but those items are a little too pricey for my liking. And if I remember correctly, coupon codes didn't work on the Scandal items so no dice for me. BUT THIS is gorge. I plan to wear with straight leg work pants and flats (as always) but I would love to wear with a nice fitting pair of jeans and heels on a date night. Not gonna happen.
Speaking of Olivia Pope, could we please figure out who makes this jacket from Season 3, Episode 7? I know I probably can't afford it, but it would bring me great pleasure to be that much closer to owning it. Who's going to mess with you in a jacket like that? No one, that's who.
2. Cynthia Rowley Navy Thick Knit Cardigan $39.99
What I love about this sweater cardigan is that it is not dainty. I hate wearing cardigans that are thin and have tiny baby buttons. Those just don't look right on me. I love the color of this cardigan which will complement a few blouses and button downs that I have in my wardrobe already. I'm thinking I can layer this on top of my chambray top.
3. Jeanine Chunky Knit Long Grey Sweater Tunic $29.99
Again I love the thick knit of this sweater and the pattern is kind of unique as well. This sweater extends well below my butt which makes it a great option to wear with leggings! Most of my leggings are thick and not see through any way... but if I wanted to, I could definitely get away with wearing the thin leggings with this sweater... with socks I bought as well (pictured above) $8 peeking out of my tall black boots. I'm very excited to wear this sweater.
4. Drapey Assymetrical Grey Sweater $29.99
Doesn't this sweater convey Olivia Pope too? I can picture her wearing this sweater real casually in her apartment after a long day of work, sipping on her deep red wine. I intend to actually wear this out of my apartment though with some skinny jeans and probably tall black boots. Tall boots for me is kind of my uniform in the winter.
5. Max Studio Lace Blouse
Earlier today I was complimenting my co-worker on her lacey cardigan and then I was lucky enough to find this blouse later on for myself. I can pair this blouse with a pencil skirt, jeans, a blazer, etc. It's kind of a sexy look with the nude underlay... we'll see if I turn any heads lol.
6. Calvin Klein Light Grey Sheets $39.99
I didn't initially want grey sheets for my bedroom, but this grey is a light grey and will match the grey in the carpet I bought. I think it will also go nicely with the comforter I bought from Home Shopping Network for about $120 shipped (with coupon and ebates). Join ebates and get cash back for online purchases you make. Before I shop, I check if ebates participates with the site I am going to use. Love saving money.
Marshalls is either hit or miss. So glad they had some nice, warm, winter items that fit and complimented my body. Can't wait to wear them. Stay tuned for photos of my actual OOTD wearing these items.
