A Frugal Pear: From Work to Casual

From Work to Casual

I have a small obsession with Lauren Conrad... Ok... Maybe it's a tad bit big, but I can't help myself! I was sucked into the MTV series, Laguna Beach, and continued following her through The Hills. And now with her clothing line at Kohls, I simply go insane!

I spent a majority of my day today with my oldest sister and my niece and nephew. We spent most of that time at Kohls. And yes, I bought more LC things.. Clearanced. No, I really shouldn't have. But when you score a LC sweater dress for $6.80, it's kind of hard not to be ecstatic! My sister and I also got the same sweater from Apt. 9 but in two different colors. This sweater is a sweater in front and a silky blouse in back. Mm mmm. Mine is in blushes and pinks and hers is in blues and tans. Mine was cheaper, being only $10, while hers was $16. Still didn't understand that one... But we didn't argue with the clerk. And she snatched up the Apt. 9 "eyelet" trench I just scored a few days ago! :) We're going to be super, sexy twins in our matching sweaters and coats! :)

Well, my Kohls days are over... Yeesh. It's hard to go shopping with someone and simply NOT shop. It's also bad when you have coupons and a card for "such store". Willpower was not in my favor today. Oh well... The damage is done (the whole whopping $19 for three items) and now I'll go back to doing what I was supposed to do today.. Craft. And getting ready for my husband's and my two year anniversary. The clock is ticking and I'm not ready!!! :)

Here's an outfit from a few weeks ago. I loved the "work" day look but loved the casual spin to it as well. And yes, that's a Lauren Conrad top. What inspired me for today's post before I ran off topic. :)
