Fashion Cents

First I went to J.C.Penny. I had a $10 off $25 coupon that I got in the mail. These are the two things I bought that day:

The pink and white striped shirt is actually a thin sweatshirt material. Really comfortable, it will be great for fall. It is in the Juniors dept and it's the brand Energie. It was $17.99. I still needed to reach $25 so that I could get the $10 off. So then I found the short sweater and it was on clearance for $11.99. So I did go over my $25 coupon, but I thought this was a good price for the sweater, especially since I'll be able to wear it to work. It's also in the Jrs dept and it's from the brand Take Out.

A few days later my mom and I had a 20% off KOHLS coupon. You get these if you have the KOHLS credit card. Like I said in my previous posts, if you shop and KOHLS or JCP often, I would highly recommend getting their credit card. I get so many fabulous deals and coupons. This one was in the mailer. You could get 15, 20, or 30% off. You would be surprised how often you get the 30! These are the items I bought:

The first one was in the misses and it's the ELLE must have cami in Chrysanthm. It is such a pretty color for summer or fall. You could wear just about any basic color cardigan on top of this- black, tan, white, or brown. This shirt was on clearance for $4.00!!! Originally $20! I did good with this one.

The grey one if from the Jrs section. It's by the brand SO...It's another piece that's great for fall. I could definitely wear this one to work with just about any color cami. It is so soft and I love the knitted look of it. It was originally $36.00 and I got it on sale for $19.99. That's pretty high on my price point, but since it was a nice cardigan and I had the 20% off, I thought it was worth it. I rarely buy any one piece of clothing for over $20, unless it's jeans or work pants.

When I went to check out, they gave me an additional 10% off my purchases because of a friends and family sale! So I received 30% off of my purchases!

So the next week I got TWO awesome JCP coupons in the mail. I got a $15 off $15 because I have their platinum credit card- that means I spent over $1000 at JCP the first year I had their credit card. I randomly get these great coupons a few times per year. I also get many $10 of $10 for spending a certain amount of money each month using the credit card. On top of that, I got another mailer for $10 off $25. If you have more than one coupon, and they won't let you use both, a great way to use both the savings is to do 2 separate transactions. That's what I did for this.

This is Nicole by Nicole Miller. She has her own section in the store. I bought the cardigan in the teal color, but the blue was great too! It was $18.00, but since I had my coupon, I only paid $3.00!!! This would look really cute with a white tank and a black casual skirt. Or with jeans too.

My 2nd transaction was:

The cami was on clearance for $8.99. It's very flowy and would look great with a black or red cardigan on top. It's from Passport and it was originally $30. The jewelry are both the brand MIXIT. The bracelets were on clearance for $3.00 and necklace was on sale for $13.99.

It's a pretty basic necklace, but the fun knots make it interesting. So altogether I paid $18.00 for my 2nd transaction.

I feel like I have SO much more to tell you, but I realize this is getting rather long. I'll have to save it for another day. I really enjoy doing this, it's a great hobby for me, and I hope you'll leave me a comment and tell me what you think of my purchases! Thanks for reading :)
