Sensible Stylista

I freakin' love Memorial Day sales! I went shopping yesterday and hit up the local Charlotte Russe Factory outlet (for my LA trip comin' up) ONLY to find that they were giving peeps an extra 50% off on already reduced prices. I bought 4 dresses, 2 shirts, and 3 skirts for under $50 (!!!!) Ridiculous, right?

To my glee (and my wallet's dismay), I just got done shopping the Talbots sale - buy one item to get an extra 40% off and two or more to get an extra 50%. I wish I could've bought ALL the fab pieces pictured below, but due to my budget I stuck with the two pencil skirts (polka dot & plaid) and the heart blouse. If you're looking for workwear, I suggest hitting them up and stocking up now while prices are heavily discounted. Their skirts and blouses are seriously legit. Honestly, I like them better than J. Crew. Bold statement but whatevs. Just being truthful with y'all!

TIP: make sure you sign up for ebates HERE (I promise to love you forever if you use my URL - I get commission if you sign up through me) before shopping their sale to get cash back! You get 2% sent back to you - hey, every bit counts!

Today's work-friendly OOTD is officially live... Don't ask me why I'm stating the obvious. Honestly, I just didn't know how to start this post sooo there we go *shrugs* Honesty's the best policy, right? Ha. ANYWHO, I freakin' love Wednesdays! I live for cute office-friendly ensembles. I styled this Tobi blazer WAY back in the day so if it looks familiar, that's why.

When Byer California sent me this chic striped skirt I immediately thought, "why not wear this as a two-piece striped suit?" I went with it and grabbed my blazer, and to my delight it worked out nicely. I wanted to keep the look clean and chic so I paired it with a white crop top from Charlotte Russe. Why did I go with a crop? Because I didn't want my shirt to get all bunched up! I hate when that happens. Tucking in tops can be such a hassle - hashtag first world problems.

A closer look at my necklace. It definitely adds a sophisticated touch!

My Byer CA striped skirt *forms heart with hands* It's available HERE for $38. Made of a polyester/spandex blend, the textured knit is stretchy and comfortable! I wear it in a size small, and it fits me like a glove! The quality's comparable to H&M in my opinion. With my exclusive discount code - enter SENSIBLESTYLISTA at checkout to get an extra 20% off - this skirt costs about $30. Totally worth it if you're a fan of stripes. FYI: the length is perfect for work!

FYI, the Tobi blazer is also available HERE if you'd like to wear them together like I did. The blazers currently on sale for $31 + an extra 30% off with code SUNLIT = $21.70 + free shipping! The blazer's quality is comparable to H&M as well. Tobi's one of my favorite stores! They carry super trendy clothing for affordable prices. I suggest taking advantage of their sale before it ends on May 21st. Please don't hesitate to contact me with questions!
