Lately I've been trying to find cute, stylish outfits that are appropriate for work. I found this really cute dress at J.C.Penney. It was on sale for $20, plus I had a 15% coupon. I shop there a lot, so I signed up for e-mails and I have their credit card. They also give a lot of 15% off coupons. Every time you buy something there, your receipt has a code on it. If you go to the website, you fill out a short survey, then they give you another 15% off coupon.
I have been trying to find leggings to go with this dress. I'm very tall- 5'10 and the dress is long enough, but I just want to feel comfortable. I've looked everywhere- Walmart, J.C.Penney, Kohls, Meijer....no leggings! I'm looking for the find that goes just past your knees..I think that would look the best for fall. If anyone knows a good place to get them, please let me know!


For winter, you could do long leggings with black boots. Now, that may seem like a lot of black, but that's what accessories are for! I'm not usually a gold person, but I think on all black, gold is really pretty. I have a chunky chain link gold necklace, gold dangly earrings, and a gold bracelet. I think that would go really good with the outfit.

I've been looking at these boots from Meijer. They are perfect if you're tall. They are pointy black boots with a small heel. I love them, they are $45, which is pretty high, but it's very rare you can find boots with a small heel like that. I'm waiting for when they have a pair in my size. I'll be going to New York and Co. to get my pants for work next week. They have size tall!

I went to Kohls the other day and they've been having amazing sales. I received a 30% coupon in the mail because I have the Kohls credit card. I highly recommend you get this card if you like to shop at Kohls. I am constantly getting coupons for at least 15%, but I have also gotten 20% & 30% off. Here's another trick to saving money if you like Kohls: Go on ebay and type in "Kohls Coupons" You can buy 20, $5 off coupons for as little as $1.00. I have done this many, many times- they have always worked and they come straight to you e-mail in as little as a few hours. You just print them off from there. I didn't have one this past time I went, but I did have my 30% off coupon. I'm starting work again soon (I teach elementary music...you can guess what my salary is like) so I wanted some new work clothes and jewelry. I bought this necklace and these earrings:








I *LOVE* this necklace because of the different types of metal, layering, and the cute pearls make it a little more feminine.

I've only recently begun to like dangle earrings. I wear a lot of pink and these had a slight edge to them as well as being girly. I got both of these items for under $15.

My friend's birthday was coming up, so of course I had to get her a present. I bought her this scarf and these earrings:





I also bought a candy pink SO boyfriend cardigan (the long, button up kind) for only $7!- and a dark peach (sea crab is the color) open neck sweater for only $12. I couldn't find pictures of these. They were on the clearance rack. Winter isn't that far away people~!!

So for alll this stuff I bought, my grand total was just under $45! I'd say I got an awesome deal. Candies is a great brand for jewelry- it's different, but not too crazy, and when they have a sale, the price isn't too crazy either. The clothes were a great buy. My friend loved her gifts. Please comment if you know of any other great deals from Kohls!

Hi & welcome to Fashion Cents! I started this blog because I love fashion, everything about it- clothes, jewelry, make up, perfumes- you name it, I'm obsessed with it. I want this blog to be different. My only actual background in fashion is reading Cosmo monthly and shopping! If you are not a big spender, then this blog is for you. I shop at Kohls, J.C.Penney, New York & Co., Old Navy, T.J.Maxx, Marshalls- retail stores, no name brands, and for the most part, that's fine with me. I use coupons ALL the time, and I can give you hints on where to get the best deals- and you can give me some too! Please leave me a comment, and let me know where your favorite place to shop is! Thanks for reading, and I hope you come back!
