Rolled Chinos: The Look For Less

Emily Thorne- You Know You Love Fashion

I know, today is my last chemo and I really should be getting ready to go to the hospital. BUT I couldn't resist posting this lookalike deal that I saw this morning. Banana Republic has the most adorable rolled skinny chinos, much like the ones Emily wore on the beach in a recent episode of Revenge (looking for a photo). I snagged mine on huge discount and used rewards points so they were almost the price of the Old Navy ones. Can you imagine if I used the rewards on the Old Navy ones? Almost free!

Tangerine Tango

Tangerine Tango is THE color of spring. I did a short preview of Pantone's predictions earlier this year, but after shopping a little bit it's become apparent that this color is everywhere! I'm not normally an orange person, but this shade looks good on everyone. Here's some of my favorite picks. What do you think of this color? Too bright? Let me know how you wear it!

Sequins for Christmas Eve

My quest for the perfect sequin skirt has ended. The ideal Christmas Eve outfit was pictured in my head and I was super determined to make it happen. Just mark this one down as a success! A sequin skirt, black tights/booties, and a plain black blouse. I like how the mostly black ensemble tempers down the "look at me" attitude of the skirt. And this skirt made its way into my life for a fabulous price, at the Banana Republic outlet. With back to back holiday trips (and two days to spare in between), you better bet I'm planning outfits ahead of time! Do you have any special outfits that you're looking forward to wearing for Christmas or New Year's occasions?

St. Patrick's Day

I'll jump on the claiming-to-be-Irish train. Here's why:

-Our Westie (Irish descent) is named after my FMIL's maiden name Duffey. We changed it to Duffie since she's a girl, though.

-My fiance's middle name is Cawley, another family name.

-I was born w/red hair (there's Irish blood in there somewhere)

-I'm drawn to greens and blues; and I love wearing them!

Okay, so it's more Mr. SE than myself. But we're getting married- so now we're one in the same. Today I'm wearing a green corduroy shift dress from Loft. It's from last season, otherwise I'd post a picture. Apparently it's not cool to wear colors for holidays when you're in the workplace, seeing as I'm the only person on my hall wearing green. But alas, I enjoy a theme whenever I can get my hands on it! Are you wearing green today?

Here's some of my favorite green goodies for spring!

Weekend Update

Mr. SE and I were quite the busy bees this weekend. I'm still waking up on this dreary Monday morning, so I'll leave you with some simple updates. The Gap Inc. friends and family sale is going on right now. And since you're all my friends- I had to let you in on the fun! 30 % off your entire purchase March 18-21.

This coupon is available for use online and in-store.

I rarely go to starbucks anymore, since I stopped drinking sugar and I mostly prefer the coffee that I brew in our own kitchen. But I had a gift card from my mom, and this drink is AMAZING! You know how sometimes flavorings taste funky- and nothing like the flavor they're supposed to be representing? Not the case here. This drink is positively delicious. I enjoyed the one on Saturday so much, so I picked up another on Sunday.

Spring Sales

Not sure about you, lovely readers, but here in Nashville we're tired of winter. I can't wait for spring, and the best way to get it here is surely by stocking up on some new clothes. There's lots of great sales this weekend and I wanted to give y'all a heads up! Here's the scoop on 3 of my favorite stores: Banana Republic, LOFT, and The Limited.
What's one spring item that you're dying to buy? As for me- I've got my eye on some perfect shift dresses, along with some chinos that I can wear for work and on the weekend! I can't wait to hear what you get.

Banana: The Love Affair Continues

Just when I think they've designed all the best clothes possible- they come out with this stunner. Tried it on, it's amazing. I love how they styled it with patterned tights here. The patterned tights trend is great, but I'm not sure how to incorporate it into my wardrobe. What are your thoughts on patterned tights? If you rock them, tell me how you work it into your day-to-day clothes.

Dear Sephora, I love You

Yesterday after work I stopped in at Greens Hills mall to exchange my coat (more on that below) and pick up some new makeup. It's been FOREVER since I tried something new, and I was ready for a change. Here's what I grabbed: Peach eyeshadow for every day, navy blue eyeliner (must have for baby blues), and some new rose blush. I've been having tons of problems with what I assume is rosacea creeping up on me. I've got an appointment with the dermatologist in a couple weeks, but until then I thought I'd give this Clinique solution a try. It got great reviews- we'll see if it can keep my freakout-inducing hive-looking hot flashes under control.

Now onto the trench. Said trench purchased online (XS) fit perfectly, but the sleeves/shoulders were a little snug. I tried it on just wearing a fitted tee, so I'm concerned about the fit with a sweater or layering. Tried on the small (regular) at Green Hills BR, and it was enormous. Why such a huge difference between one size? Lame. So the incredibly nice manager at BR (shout out to her- she was seriously great!) called Cool Springs BR to see if they carried my lovely coat in a Small Petite. They had it! I'll be stopping by the Cool Springs store this weekend, before I babysit for the lovely Thirty-Something Bride's wedding reception! Hopefully the small petite will be the answer to my prayers. I want this coat to fit SO badly....

On another note, I am LOVING my brown heeled boots that Mr. SE bought me from Off Broadway. The brand is Michael Shannon and they are TO. DIE. FOR. Unfortunately, MS doesn't have a website so I can't upload a picture. If you're lucky enough to see them in person (I'm sure they'll be making lots of appearances), you can admire them for yourself!

THE Trench

You know I love mail. Like LOVE receiving real letters, cards, and especially packages. So imagine my delight when this little beauty showed up yesterday. Honestly, most gorgeous trench I have ever seen! Nina Garcia said all women must have a trench, so obviously I had to find the perfect one. I searched around and decided that BR had the best option (as usual). What's better? A 40% coupon landed in my inbox last week. I was able to get the jacket for 40% off and free shipping since I'm a BR cardmember. Cannot wait to wear this little beauty around town! I was thinking she'd make her debut tomorrow for work, but with a 80 degree forecast she might have to wait a couple days...

Fall Fashion: Part II

After returning from a fantastic weekend in Blairsville, GA, I decided to pop into Opry Mills to catch the tail end of Labor Day sales. Ann Taylor factory store had some great sweaters on sale- picked up a brown tunic and black v-neck cardi (you can never have too many cardis!). The BR outlet had some pretty good deals, but nothing was too fantastic. I bought a grey tunic cardi and navy dress pants (love the Ryan short fit- no hemming!). I needed some belts for my new sweaters, so being the frugalista (thanks, Target) that I am, I headed down to Forever 21. There were so many cute goodies in there- and one big fat problem. I realized that while I do love Forever 21, there's not much room for it in the workplace. For about 15 minutes I longed to be back in college wearing maxi dresses 24/7. Then I realized that I now get a paycheck- panic attack over. Two skinny belts later (black & gunmetal) and I was headed back home.

Here's some of my favorite tops from BR's fall line.Now if they would just go on sale... What's one (or two or three) things that you're dying to pick up for fall?

Covet

I know you're not supposed to do it- but I can't help myself! This blouse (BR) and these shoes (Piperlime) are really tempting me. Perhaps I should treat myself. Why the treat? I got a job!!!!

Banana Outlet Sale

Ladies, run do not walk to your nearest Banana Republic Outlet. The entire store is 40%. Yes- even the clearance!!! No coupon needed. I picked up a couple dresses today, and I'll be sure to post pictures tomorrow.
