Fashion Friday: Edition it’s on sale

It is so cold here right now. And I say that with the full realization that many of you laugh in the face of a nine degree wind chill. A nine degree wind chill is a little thing you refer to as balmy picnic weather. For me it means that I want to spend the day in flannel pajama bottoms, an A&M sweatshirt circa 1993, and a Snuggie.

Except I don’t own a Snuggie.

And I certainly wouldn’t go buy a Snuggie. But I secretly hoped that someone might give me one as a gag gift for Christmas. Then I could have all the comfort a Snuggie offers without the shame of knowing I paid $14.99 for some type of gimmicky blanket when I could get the same results by wearing my robe backwards.

Anyway, I decided to share a couple of things (or thirteen) that I’ve seen on sale. You know, just in case you have any Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket.

1. Sea Cliff Cluster Ring

I love big rings. I’d love them even more if I had long, slender fingers and they actually looked good on my hand. But you can’t always get what you want.

Just ask Texas fans.

Oh I kid because I love.

And because I’m a little bitter that the Aggies haven’t been good since last century.

If you’re like me and are long, slender finger impaired, then you might want to opt for a new statement necklace like the Soho Sparkle Necklace.

2. Crinkle Cascade Dress

I have nowhere to wear this dress but I think it’s so cute.

3. Short-sleeve Cable Knit Pullover

I’ve had my eye on this for a while. It’s the perfect thing to wear with jeans and boots on normal Texas winter days when the temps plummet to the low 60′s.

4. Crocheted Cowlneck

This sweater is just gorgeous. I love the cowlneck, the color, the length. All it needs is a cami or tank to wear under it because otherwise it makes a whole different kind of statement.

5. King’s Road Coat

You know I’m always on the lookout for a darling coat. And a darling coat on sale is even better.

6. Zella Reversible Favorite Pants

I figured I better throw in some yoga pants since I believe they are a wardrobe staple and, if you wear yours as much as I wear mine, there’s always a need for new pair sans bleach spills. Hypothetically speaking.

7. Calvin Klein Diamond Quilt Satin Coat

Because this is the winter that is proving global warming to be a big fat lie, I’ve discovered that I really don’t have a good winter coat. I have several mid-weight jackets and trench coats because I can’t resist their appeal. But when it comes to any kind of coat that offers real warmth, I am out of luck.

Well, except for this white puffy down jacket that I bought from J. Crew about a million years ago. It kept me warm as I slid on my bottom down ski slopes during the early years of my marriage when P and I routinely chaperoned ski trips full of high school students. Now it just makes me look like the Michelin Man.

Yet I have been desperate enough to wear it on more than one occasion.

8. Timberland Lexiss Tall Boots

I bought these boots for myself way back in the fall before they were ever on sale. And they have been worth every penny. I ADORE THEM.

They are comfortable, warm and even waterproof.

But these cid=19851&vid=1&pid=703742&scid=703742002" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?_br_/_cid=19851_038_vid=1_038_pid=703742_038_scid=703742002&referer=');">brown suede boots by Wanted are another great boot option.

9. Thin-striped Pajama Pants

These are actually on sale for about $8.00 in the store. I bought myself a pair and then went back the next day and bought another pair. I don’t know what kind of cotton they are made from but I think they are what heaven will feel like. Assuming heaven is like a pair of super comfortable pajama pants that you would wear in public if you weren’t in your late thirties.

(See how I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m no long approaching my late thirties?)

10. Embroidered Drape Wrap

I was originally looking to see if this Sigrid Embroidered Dress was on sale because I fell in love with it this fall but resisted due to a price tag that hurt my wallet’s feelings.

And yes it’s on sale.

But no they do not have my size.

However, I discovered the embroidered wrap and think it’s just beautiful.

11. Sprinkled Chiffon Top

There again, I really have nowhere to wear this. But SHINY! SPARKLY!

It would be the perfect thing to wear if you have any field trips planned with someone special.

12. Trunk Show Scarf

Scarves are my new best friend. And this year I’ve discovered that they aren’t just for fashion, but for function. Who knew?

13. Velvet Eden Blazer

I believe a velvet blazer is a good staple item for any closet. It can be dressed up or down, but it’s hard to find a good one at a great price. Get ‘em while they’re hot.

(I don’t know why I just said that. It’s late. I’ve taken my prescription cough medicine. I apologize.)

There is no way to convey the sadness I feel over ending with the number thirteen, but I hate to delete anything and I don’t have the energy to look for anything else. So, thirteen it is!

Y’all have a great Friday.
