Outfit of the day 12-22-12

Yesterday I needed to venture out and run some last minute errands so I wanted to wear something comfortable but, because it got super windy and cold, I figured it would probably be a good idea to dress somewhat warm. Good thing because I'm pretty sure that the end of the Target parking lot where I parked was in a different zip code than the actual store. 'Tis the season.

 

 

 

 

 

1 - Wool-blend coat from Old Navy. Every year I am able to pick up some really nice coats from ON. I purchased this one about a month ago and at the time it was 50% off so only about $25. Can't beat that! I saw the other week that they still had it in stores but they were 60% and then an extra 30% off so I'm not sure if they would still have any left. For me, I like having good quality and good looking coats but I don't want them too nice because then I just worry non-stop about getting them dirty. This one has a really interesting tulip collar and is a neutral beige so no need to worry about coordinating; I just throw it on and know that it looks timeless yet unique.

 

2 - Blue/white stripe long sleeve tunic from Old Navy. This bad boy was only $17 and then 30% off. Once again, I sized way up because I really wanted it to be long enough for leggings and account for any shrinking. I love that this is long sleeve because so often I find tunics that are only 3/4 sleeve which drive me crazy.

 

3 - Grey leggings from Wal-Mart. I really can't ever see myself paying more than $10 at the most for just plain leggings which is why I get them at places like Wal-Mart or Target. These ones only cost $5 and have lasted me years.

 

4 - Gold knotted necklace from Express. I don't always love all of the jewelry at Express but they normally have at least one piece every time I go in that is unique that I just have to have.

 

5 - Boots from Bass Outlet. Okay, I know, another kind of odd place you might not have thought of to shop. I was shopping in the outlets home in NY with my mom last year and she wanted to go in this store. I was initially just tagging along but then I noticed all the boots that they had. Of course since it is geared towards an older customer, not all of them were my taste but I did walk away with about three pairs. It's so hard for me to find comfortable boots with heels which is why when I found these I bought them in two colors. I'm not the kind of girl who can just grab up a pair of cheap shoes from places like Forever21 because I have very thin, yet also flat feet, so I have to really spend time searching. Plus, who really wants to be that person whose feet hurt so bad that they are hobbling around. You must know that people are secretly making fun of you in their head. Personally, if my feet hurt, I am a miserable person so I really don't mind taking more time and spending more money.
