Way back at the beginning of the summer I fell in love with this tunic.  I mean, once you create an entire outfit based on it you are bound to think about it for awhile, right?!  Unfortunately, it wasn't in my budget {especially for a cover-up style dress that I would wear like 2 times}.  But somehow I always end up being rewarded for making a good purchase decision or when I'm patient and don't give in to the dreaded impulse buy.  This is the case once again.  I found this dress at Kohl's in the clearance section and it caught my eye because of the bright colors and the silk material but also because it resembled that coveted cover up.  But unlike that over priced cover up, this is a dress that can be worn to work or on the weekends.  That's two of the three "how would I work this in my closet" scenarios right there!  Done and done.  Thank you Kohl's for 1. always supplying me with ample coupons and for 2. marking down pink paisley tunics.

Fashion for Less - J.Crew Herringbone Puffer Vest

If you missed out on this amazing herringbone vest when J.Crew originally had it for sale last Fall {see my post about it here} then you are in luck!  It is available now for a much better price!  J.Crew Factory came out with an identical vest which has all of the rich detail that J.Crew is known for-  dual-way zipper, outlined pockets, gold details.  You can find the J.Crew vest for $108 but don't settle for that price because usually there are plenty of coupons to use to get that lowered.  

However, if that price is out of your budget, there is the very affordable Walmart version.  I know, I know, Walmart?  Yes!  This vest is a STEAL and super cute to boot.  So, get on this dupe ladies because it is bound to sell out fast.  Heck, I bought one for me and my mom already!  And I'll probably stock up on a few for Christmas presents too.  If you're family, just go ahead and assume you're getting one ;)

I think it's safe to say that I'm a girly girl to the core.  Skirts and dresses are my jam.  So it should be no surprise that I am obsessed with all of the fun patterned and printed pencil skirts that are in for this Fall.  I am loving the deep jewel tones with a hint of pattern {that leopard peplum skirt will be mine!} but you can't go wrong with bright florals year round either.  Have fun mixing these fun patterns into your wardrobe! 

What skirts are you penciling into your wish list for Fall? 

Let's make #pencilskirtsforthewin be our motto for this season :)
