Shopping & A Snow Day = Happiness

Snow days are an excellent opportunity to catch up on blogging!  I'm so happy to have this ~  hopefully once in the wintertime ~ snow day!  After all, I do enjoy linking up with The Blended Blog for:

1.  My favorite places to shop include:

*T.J. Maxx

*Marshall's

*Nordstrom:  specifically for special occasions, i.e. a mother of the groom dress!

2.  On Saturdays, my friend and I enjoy browsing in a local T.J. Maxx or Marshall's.  I do enjoy finding something serendipitously!

The "Endless Summer" pillow is from T.J. Maxx while the Baker Boy cap and scarf are from Norstrom!


3.  I do LOVE shopping for soap.  Having scented soap is such a luxury for me.  I often buy soap and a hand towel for a hostess gift.
 

4.  I don't enjoy shopping for bathing suits.  That's why I've been ordering mine from Beall's, Florida's Department Store.  After all, it's summer all year in Florida so they have an amazing selection of bathing suits that I can try on at home!

I found that hat in Marshall's.


 5.  My favorite recently purchased item has to be my new sweater from Boden.

When I saw this sweater, it was love at first sight.  I just had to wait until it was on sale, and for President's Day, there was an additional discount so I bought my longed-for sweater!


6.  Although my friend and I arrive at a store together, we do prefer to browse alone.  Plus, I have a routine.  I always start with the sales racks and finish in the shoe department.


7.  One of my best bargains was this skirt that I purchased in Savers.  


8.  I don't mind consignment stores for high-end items such as Lily Pulitzer.

9.  The best city for shopping has to be Boston, of course!  It was home to the original Filene's Basement = BEST store ever!

10.  I just love the way Reese Witherspoon dresses.  Her clothes are colorful and fun, and of course, she always looks perfect!

The best part of snow in March is that it melts quickly, and the roads get down to the pavement right away!  It's back to work tomorrow so I'm so happy that I got to blog two days in a row!

Who's your style icon?  My maiden name was "Reese" so that makes me like Reese Witherspoon even more!

Fabulous Friday ~ Anthropologie Sweater and Comfy Clarks Shoes


Happy Friday!  I LOVE Friday ~  that's why I'm so happy to link up with A Pocketful of Polka Dots for:

Outfit of the Day!

Today I had outdoor recess duty, and I dressed for the occasion:


You might remember this sweater from a prior post here.  This time I've paired it with a denim skirt.

Here are the details ~ this cozy and comfy sweater has elbow patches, and it's from Anthropologie where it's now on sale!  The shoes I'm wearing are also super comfortable - they're Clark's ~  found on Amazon.  
My denim skirt is a closet staple ~ it's a Jones New York stretch denim skirt (similar here).  I am a HUGE fan of tights - I love all kinds of colors and patterns.  These snowflake sweater tights are old, but I found something similar here.

Well, that's it for now.  Thanks for checking out my blog today.  Please visit again soon to hear all about what we've been doing at school!

Puffins on sweaters = Holiday Style!

I found another fun, new link-up with The Queen In Between about holiday style!  This is a perfect time to show off my new puffin sweater from Loft.  I've seen this sweater on so many blogs, and I fell in love with it immediately because I LOVE puffins.  Last summer - while visiting Bar Harbor, Maine - I endured a whale and puffin boat "cruise."  I couldn't wait to see puffins, but when we arrived - the puffins were so small and far away, I couldn't see them any way - all that seasickness, too!

Check out the sweater:


I had to order this sweater on-line as the Loft store near me said the sweater sold "like hotcakes."  It is really cute and can be worn all winter which makes this sweater really fun!  I checked today, and the sweater is available in medium and large.

Happy Hump Day!
