Fall Fashion Deals

It's that time of year again; time to swap out the summer clothing and accessories for the fall and winter threads.  I was on the hunt for some fall wardrobe updates.  Being a frugal gal, naturally I didn't want to spend a fortune.  After scoping out the bargains online, I headed out to our local Payless Shoe Store, armed with a 20% off coupon.  There was a cute pair of cozy, fur-lined Airwalk Myra  boots on their website I liked.  They were regularly $44.95, but this week, they were on sale for $34.99.  With the 20% off coupon, they were $27.99!  These boots are super comfy; they feel just like slippers on and will keep my feet toasty warm on those chilly New England days!  I think they'll look great with a pair of tucked-in straight leg jeans.


Next, I found these Airwalk Blizzard Cozy Slip-On shoes in gray plaid.  They're fur-lined, so they're super comfy!  There's also a tab on the back, so I can add a piece of black ribbon to each as ankle ties to give them a different look.  They were originally $24.99, but were on sale for $16.99.  With the 20% off discount coupon, I paid $13.59 for them. 
While I was at Payless, I went over to look at their earrings.  Since I have a nickel allergy, I can only wear nickel-free earrings.  Many of the earrings were on sale, and I found a three-pack of nickel-free earrings, two pairs of hoops and a pair of medallion earrings for $5.99.  With my 20% off discount coupon, I paid $4.79 for the three pairs!

After leaving Payless Shoe Store, I headed over to my local Dress Barn armed with a 25% off coupon.  As soon as I walked in the store, I fell in love with this tweed pointelle cascade long cardigan that was on display!  I just HAD to have it.   However, when I went over to the rack, they only had size extra-large left, and I usually wear medium. I asked the salesperson if she would check the one on display, to see if it was a medium. Sadly, it was a small.  However, she encouraged me to try it on anyway, which I did. To my surprise, it was quite roomy for a small and fit perfectly!  From now on, I will look further than my usual size, if I find something I just can't live without.   However, then I looked at the price tag, and it was $59.99--ouch!  I would never pay that for a sweater, as much as I liked it, although this one was more like a coat than a sweater.  However, with my 25% off coupon, I paid $44.99 for it!  You can find the 25% coupon on Dress Barn's Facebook page.





I am thrilled with my bargains. I definitely think today's shopping trip was a huge success!

That cardigan is adorable!

A warning about the boots...

Last year a bought a pair like those for a lot more than what you and not from Payless. I loved them but the elastic loops that go around the toggles did not hold and three of the four pulled out and I never could fix them where they would stay. I hope your are better constructed. I still love that style!

I love everything, Jane! The boots are perfect for cold weather and I love flats with straight jeans. My daughter likes Dress Barn for sweaters, too. Great deals!

XO,
Jane
