I woke up this morning to one of the coldest mornings I've woken up to in a very, very long time. Schools were even delayed 2 hours today! When I say cold I'm talking 10 degrees cold over here in NC but with the wind, according to my phone, it felt more like 3 degrees outside. Reading this information from my warm, cozy bed made it even harder to get up. Nevertheless I bundled up to the best of my ability (despite hating thick layers and coats). Here's my attempt at dressing warm.
Jacket: Tommy Hilfiger (on sale now!) | Vest: J. Crew (sold out, check ebay) | Sweater: French Connection (similar here & here) | Scarf: BCBGeneration | Watch: Walmart | Shoes: Old Navy
If anyone knows me, they know I love T.J. Maxx. It's where I shop for most of my clothes, especially work clothes, with the exception of pants and jeans. My sweater, jacket and scarf all came from T.J. Maxx and all for a great deal! If you have the time and patience to shop around at different stores or online before buying from the first place you find what you're looking for, chances are you will find the same item or one of similar quality for a much lower price tag. Checking stores like T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, etc. or even googling the item to see if you can find it for a better price online somewhere you didn't think to look are all tactics I use to find a better deal on something. Putting together a great look for less always makes me happy and if I can get by with paying less for something I've had my eye on or a similar version to it, you can bet that I'll find a way!
Stay warm out there!
