Versatile Style by Tracey

Yesterday I went thrift shopping and found a few items, then headed to Burlington Coat Factory.

I loved this pastel striped sweater by New York & Company  so much I actually paid full Goodwill pricing of $4.99

This is a Navy & White striped 2 pc set by Ann Taylor Loft that was half price at just $2.50.

At Burlington I went in search of sweaters that were longer to wear with tunic length tops….

This was $14.99, but I used a 20% off coupon.  This has one hook and eye up at the bust line that if worn that way covers a majority of the top underneath.  I have some hook and eyes and plan to add one more at the waist line, which opened it up and was a much preferred look.

This black one by United States Sweaters was $16.99 and I was allowed to use a second @0% off to lower that price.  This comes with a belt and looks good with and without it.  I like the versatility and think both these sweaters will serve me well.

This hounds-tooth jacket was purely an impulse buy and not at all my intention when shopping.  I have been wanting a hounds-tooth coat  and earlier in the season had fallen hard for a Calvin Klein one with leather trim.  It was $400 and outside my budget, but I literally couldn’t stop dreaming about that coat.  I don’t normally dream about fashion, so this was unusual.  Anyway back to this little number.  I was swayed by this one because of the $19.99 price tag and the chic look of the collar.  It is definitely not a coat for freezing temperatures, but then again it is suppose to be in the 5o’s next week… I was able to use a 20% off coupon on this as well.

This last one is another Rachel Zoe trench coat via QVC.  I already have this in both black and khaki and have really been resisting purchasing this red one. But alas I failed to resist and succumbed.  It was on clearance for a long time and I kept watching it.  When it got down to only the XS and said there were just a few left I couldn’t let it go The XS barely fits me, but is wearable and in the right size for my goal weight. The other two I own in Small and it will still work with the weight loss.   I snagged it for 4 monthly payments which made it even easier to say yes.  It is now sold out in this color, but available in others, here.

Dear Readers, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  I think I may be heading to take my 17 year old son to the doctor as this sinus stuff does not seem to be getting better.  I am sneezing and have a runny nose this morning and pray I am not getting what he has…
