I have been watching Jason Wu for a little while, mostly around his work for the first lady, but I have really been looking forward to seeing what he was doing for Fall/Winter 2012 - I am not disappointed. I feel like I would actually wear some of these items as is. They are LOVELY!

I don't really have a whole to to say about this outfit. Its one of my "misses" the skirt is a little small, making everything look too tight. It was the first time I wore it , and it felt a little tight, but after seeing the pics, I know it is way too small :)

I realized recently that I didn't have any pics of my coat. I got this at the Loft for about $50 earlier this fall. I think someone had accidently marked it down with some other coats, and I snatched it up right away. At the register it rang up much higher, but the manager was the one ringing me up, and just said she was going to honor the price, before I even said to put it back. I know they are supposed to, but in this day and age, so many of them don't. It's not very cold here, so I don't need much.

I really like this jacket. I have two of them, one in a red color, and one in brown. Right now they have a few left in Women's Petites, but they pop in and out of stock. And they are down to $22. Great deal! :)
Shoes and necklace :)

After a hectic week or so, I finally got a chance to sit down with my new February 2012 Talbot's catalog. I am very impressed with the merchandise in this one!
The main color is Blue, mostly Navy, with some cobalt and sky tossed in for good measure - and the colors they chose to go along with it are mostly purples and greens, which look great with it. They have a great new featured print, which might be bold for some - the Ikat - but I think its cute.
This issue also has an expanded and well-featured suit section in the back. I have seen some complaints lately about Talbot's not offering as many suits, even though I think they were there, just hidden away in the middle of the catalog out of sight. In this one, they give a full, well highlighted section covering several new fabrications for the Spring.
Go check it out, what have been your faves from Talbots for Feb?

My friend and I were laughing.... I wore this to the grocery store, and for errands. I don't get out a whole lot working at home, and I love wearing fun stuff like this. :-P
Anyways, this jacket is the bulk of what I picked up during the Loft $50 off $100 Facebook coupon and I thought it was very nautical in the store. But when I brought it home, it was sooo preppy lol! Love it.
These are some super cheap boots I got from Avenue last year. They fit really well, and were like $30 or something like that. Kimberly was talking about great boot deals there recently as well.

#IFBProject #32 Red Carpet Look
IFB has a cute "assignment" where you post pics of your "red carpet look" - and if I were going to the Oscars, I would wear this...
Yeah, its a wedding dress...but I love it!! I have been married for awhile, but I put this page in my "style binder" Sept 2010. LOL~ I guess I just like the dress, cause I certainly don't need a wedding dress. Oscar de la Renta Dress, Louboutins and an Alexander McQueen clutch. Sounds pricey, but we know they don't have to pay for any of it. Best deal ever LOL!
Images from Vogue, Alexander McQueen Site, and some old stuff I saved and dont know where its from anymore :(

When I bought these shoes and bag, I told hubby there was no way I was going to wear them together. I thought it would just be way over the top. So I was getting ready, and I told hubby I was going to wear the bag, and he was like you *HAVE* to do the shoes too. So....I did.
And I loved it.
I am not usually a huge fan of belts over things on me, since I am soooo shortwaisted, but everyonce in a while, I want to do the belt over cardi thing. :)
Oh, and here is a close up of the necklace. :)

I don't actually shop at JC Penney too much, but i happened to hear last night on the news that they are no longer going to have constant sales as part of their pricing structure, but instead will mark everything down 40% and go from there. I am very interested to see how it will work!
This is a very interesting article, and I think that Ron Johnson, Penney's new CEO and former Apple / Target alum is onto something. If you get a chance you should read it all. It covers the new pricing strategy in detail.

JC Penney is Doing Away with Sales

| JC Penneys Feb 2012 Catalog |
The increased discounting has been a vicious cycle that only feeds into shoppers' insatiable appetite for bigger and better discounts. In fact, whereas it took 38 percent off to get shoppers to buy 10 years ago, it now takes discounts of 60 percent, Johnson says.
At Penney, the regular price on an item that costs $10 to make rose 43 percent, from $28 in 2002 to $40 in 2011. But because of all of its sales and other promotions, what it actually ended up selling for rose only 15 cents, from $15.80 to $15.95 during that same period.
