Gray

I raced home from work today, hoping to catch a little sunlight so that I could get some decent OOTD shots.  Unfortunately, I didn't make it in time.  About half way home, I realized I was missing the last of the good light.  Indoor/kitchen photos it is!  The sun set at 4:30pm.  Crazy, right?  Gotta love PNW winters!

This dress is one of my J. Crew Clearance Store finds (as is the belt).  I think this is my favorite item from my  latest clearance store run.  I will have to take better photos of it soon because these really don't do it justice.  It is beautifully cut and ever so cozy:)

J. Crew Clearance Store

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with people you love, delicious food, and lots of naps:)

I took a short trip to NC last week to visit my family.  I was able to see quite a few of my friends and family members - it was hectic, but a very nice trip nonetheless.  I flew back home on Sunday night and the first part of this week was crazy busy.  I am just now feeling like I can take a breath and relax a bit.  I am so very happy to have the next 4 days off work.

One of the highlights of my trip to NC was visiting the J. Crew clearance store.  I love this place!  My mom and nannie came along and we had a blast.  I ended up finding quite a few things this time (including a beautiful green purse, a gray wool dress, a couple of tops, and a jackie cardigan, of course!).  Here are a few pictures:

Cashmere heaven!

Here is my outfit from today (sorry for the blurry pics).  This black patent belt was a clearance store find.  I've already work it twice, so I would say it was a good purchase!

I heart the J.Crew clearance center!

I'm home! I survived family time and ended up having a really fun trip:) Even though I had a much better time than expected, I was still so very happy to sleep in my own bed last night and cuddle with my fur babies. I did get to visit the J. Crew clearance center in Arden, NC while I was away. It was wonderful! Although the selection was not as great as the last time I visited, I still found quite a few things to bring home with me. They were having a couple of sales (20% off outerwear and buy one get one 1/2 off of all cardigans). I noticed that there were more outlet items there this time, which was a little bit disappointing.

Here it is! It is off of the beaten path in an industrial area, but it's really not too hard to find.


The SHOE WALL!!!!!!


More shoes! I spotted some really beautiful shoes, but I didn't purchase any of them:( I have a foot injury that is in the process of healing, but until it is fully healed, I have to be very careful about what shoes I wear (this is why I have been wearing my dansko shoes nearly every day). I have some very gorgeous shoes in my closet that I cannot wait to wear once my foot heals. Until then, I'm trying to not add to my shoe collection!


Beautiful dresses!


I brought this little purse home with me. I don't usually go for velvet accessories, but I just couldn't turn this one down. The color is gorgeous, I love the chain, and the kiss lock closures look like little flowers!

I love this cardigan! It is very warm and the off-center zip really makes it feel a bit edgy.


I picked up a few more items that I will feature in OOTD's sometime soon.

Hope you all are have a great week!
