Do you get excited when someone tells you how little they paid for something? (If that’s the case you may want to skip over a few lines).

When I hear people talk about super sales it makes me want to drop what I’m doing and go shopping. Every time.

These shoes I’m wearing in the pictures? They cost $11. I got them at JCPenney in West Town Mall. So you’ve either smiled at that fact, gotten mad, or your no longer reading because you’re in your car headed to the nearest JCP.

For the rest of you let’s talk about this outfit…

Deconstructed this is a simple jeans and t-shirt look. In fact, I love this look for so many reasons. It’s a perfectly balanced look that works in many scenarios.

Also…

I could keep the blazer, heels and necklace in my car for a simple outfit upgrade on a crazy day. With some simple tennis shoes this would be a great outfit to run around in.

But look how much it’s transformed by adding those details!

That’s what you have to do to get more out of your closet – take a simple combination and edit. The bright pink updates the look and gives it a punch of color. The white blazer makes wearing a jacket in 90 degree weather seasonally appropriate. The necklace pulls both worlds of dressy and casual down to a table and says, “let’s all work together.” Simple as that.

Doesn’t have to be a long, loud necklace or a printed tee (in fact, keep this a secret, this is a maternity tee but I still wear it because it’s soooo loooong…don’t tell anyone).

The blazer is from Express but here’s a similar one I’d consider cheating on it with. The jeans are American Eagle (and so very comfortable) and while I can’t find my exact shoes…here’s a version that’s on sale. Pair it with a JCP coupon and you’ve got yourself a deal!

This is the final installment of my blazer + jeans looks. This one is the most dressy; this one is great for a night out; and this one is perfect for a comfortable Saturday.

Also I have a Pinterest Jacket board I’m adding too aall the time. I FREAKIN LOVE JACKETS. :)
