Sensible Stylista

I'm super excited to share today's work-friendly look with you guys because I centered it around my latest bargain buy. I scored this chic cowl-neck sweater dress at Old Navy for $11.97. I don't know if you guys remember, but I featured this dress in black HERE back in November. I ordered a bunch in different colors, but I actually ended up returning the gray. I regretted it though - it's such a great deal, and the dress is really versatile - so when I saw the piece on sale again, I re-bought it on the spot. I highly recommend picking one (or four) up for yourself! I guarantee it'll become a closet-favorite. For your reference, I'm wearing a petite small.

Shop my look:

A few weeks ago, I went to Grove City's Prime Outlet Mall and scored big at their Banana Republic store. They were having a huge blowout sale so I ended up getting 9 different pieces for under $85. This vest was a steal at $11! I wanted to share my awesome find with you guys so I decided to feature it today on Sensible Stylista. This piece has a sporty vibe so I paired it with a sweater, jeans, and sneaker heels for a casual look. I threw on my Burberry scarf to top off my look and carried my Handbag Heaven tote to match. TIP: when shopping at an outlet mall, stop by customer service first. You can get a free coupon book at the counter if you have AAA. If not, you can buy one for $3 or so - make sure you leaf through first though. You don't want to buy it and then realize your favorite stores aren't listed!
