Glamour Goes to Work

Summer seems to be when I shell out an unnecessary amount of money on magazines.  It just makes sense to have an array of reading material with all the road trips, pool side days, and down time.  The June issue of Glamour caught my attention with an article called, "Summer Work Special."

In our Mississippi heat, it is hard to dress appropriately for work while still staying cool.  According to Glamour, though, dark suits are out and pastels are in.  So, I shopped around to find the best pastels for the workplace.

Glamour offers sheer tops ranging from $79-$395, blazers ranging from $60-$398, and two-toned pants ranging from
$70-$325.

After searching all around the metro area, here is what I found:

A sheer green top for $9.99 at TJ Maxx.  I found similar tops at Marshall's, Charming Charlie, and JC Penny, and all of them were under $40.

  This Rebecca Taylor light pink blazer, originally marked at $230, is 75% off at Designer Discount Fashions located at the intersection of Lake Harbour Road and Hwy 51 in Ridgeland. It also has a matching skirt to complete the outfit.  The skirt and jacket are a size 2.

Also found at Designer Discount Fashions were these great pastel pants by designers such as Yansi Fugel, originally $209, and Madison Hill New York, originally $97.  They were marked 75% off.

Much to my dismay, I have not been able to find two-toned pants at a great price.  Fortunately, the ones featured in Glamour from Victoria Secret are only $70.








Other great finds inspired by Glamours "Summer Work Special" articles:

Compare these two pink jelly bags.  The one on the right is $195 by Furla, the one on the left is $29.97 at Charming Charlie.






So, take these fresh ideas and brighten up your work wardrobe without having to work overtime to pay for it.  Send in pictures of your favorite summer work outfit and, as always,

Happy Hunting!

Steal Alert!

While out running errands today I decided to stop by Hudson in Ridgeland to see if they had a shipment of anything worth stopping in for and it seems I stopped by at just the right time.

The clothes racks are filled with cothes by Talbots and Michael Kors.  They also have many brands you would find at JC Penny.

I was a little bummed to find that the shoe racks had been taken down and replaced with Men's sportswear but on my way out I decided to paruse the shelves of what is usually made up of worthless junk.  Today, however I found those shelves filled with shoes.  Lots of shoes! Jessica Simpson, Coach, Kenneth Cole, Nine West, and a whole lot more!

So, go check it out for yourselves and let me know what great bargains you walk out with.

Happy Hunting!
