The Cowl-Neck Sweater Dress

I can't wait to tell you guys all about my latest find today on Sensible Stylista.  I centered my look around my new sweater dress from Old Navy.  I got it on sale for $10.50 (!!!!) a few days ago.  They were having a big blowout sale for Veteran's Day, so obviously I took advantage.  I tried this dress on in person when it first came out but didn't purchase it because it was expensive - FYI, by "expensive" I mean $39.94, ha.  

I highly suggest purchasing this dress while you can!  It's a must-have in my book because it's chic AND comfortable.  I actually bought it in three other colors in addition to the black pictured below! ...yeah, that's how much I adore this dress.  It features a relaxed fit so you don't have to worry about sucking in or masking your muffin top.  You can purchase this baby HERE if you're interested.  Also, feel free to tweet me, message me, whatever, if you have questions.  I'm always here for you guys!

More on today's OOTD: I styled my dress with my Donna Degnan coat (available HERE).  I don't know what it is about this jacket, but it ups my outfit game whenever I wear it. I decided to keep things simple accessory wise so I threw on my YSL crossbody and called it a day because my Rachel Zoe ankle-strap shoes make quite a statement.  I'm all about simplicity as of late - IMHO, there's nothing worse than over-accessorizing.

Just in case you'd like to shop my look:

Inspired by The Good Wife

I'm beyond excited to partner up with Lafayette 148 New York today on Sensible Stylista.  I drew style inspiration from the TV show, "The Good Wife" and created a classic look for you guys. Alicia Florrick, the title character of the show, always looks polished and sophisticated. Are any of you guys fans of the show?  What do you guys think of her style?

For today's OOTD, I centered my look around my new coat courtesy of Lafayette 148 (available here in four different color pairings).  I paired it with gray skinnies and an oversized sweater for a chic yet comfortable look.  I accessorized with a classic tote but injected personality with a pair of kick@$$ heels.  I purchased these shoes from Saks Off Fifth a while back; they were on sale for $30!  A hell of a deal if you ask me because they're Charles Jourdan - they typically run $200+.

Oh, did I mention that my coat's reversible? Ta-da!  I'm not sure which side I like more so I'm going to ask you guys.  Do you prefer the black or the gray?

Holiday Deals 101: A Great Place to Find All of the Deals You Crave

I'm super excited to partner up with CyberMonday.com today on Sensible Stylista.  Make sure you guys read carefully because I'm going to tell y'all how to score the best deals this holiday season. First of all, bookmark CyberMonday STAT.  I want you to think of CM as your bargain shopping bible because it compiles all the sales for top retailers in one place, saving you time, money and energy.  You won't have to rush to different stores or sites to find the best deals around.  

This site features deals and special savings from hundreds of retailers all year round.  CM collects coupon codes, limited time offers and special savings opportunities from over 800 online stores and puts them all in one convenient place for you to use.  In addition to hundreds of special offers, some of which will be exclusive promos only available on the site, it'll be featuring a Deal of the Hour on its front page on Black Friday or Cyber Monday highlighting a different retail promo.  Offers will include free shipping, dollars off, percentages off, and free gifts with purchases at some of your fave stores.  

Shopping CM's site is easy peasy because it's clear and organized.  It has five tabs at the top for your browsing convenience: categories, offers, holiday, holiday entertaining, and store directory. Personally, I'm all about the offers tab because shipping's a deal breaker for me.  Unless it's something I seriously can't live without, I'll pass if I have to pay for shipping.  Categories is also a fave.  There are 13 total, and they each have sub-categories.  Here's an example from Beauty & Skin Care.  The most popular sales are displayed at the top and all other deals (from various stores) are listed at the bottom.  If it's easier for you to simply search via store, you can do that using the store directory.

Want to be alerted of featured deals? CM will send you emails about the best money saving deals from the most popular stores of the season. Just enter your email address at the bottom of the site and click "submit."
