Spring In My Step - Penny Pincher Fashion

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I’m a big fan of JCPenney – they have really upped their fashion game over the last few years and I’ve found so many great pieces there for our entire family (my daughter loves the Arizona brand). I’ve been a cardholder for a long time, but I recently signed up for their Rewards Program, where you earn points for every dollar you spend…which basically feels like you’re getting paid to shop.

Right now, they are having their Friends & Family sale (through March 26th), so it’s a great time to stock up for the season – you can get 25% off with any payment method or get 30% off when you use your JCPenney card with code 8FORYOU. I picked up this striped top, this ruffled blouse & this cargo jacket is also a great price! If you’re looking for denim cut-offs that aren’t too short, these are my favorite – I bought them in white before our Mexico trip & loved them so much that I went back & bought another pair in blue (I found that they run true to size).

Every woman needs a little lace dress for spring & I love that this one has 3/4-length sleeves, which makes it more versatile. I paired it with casual pieces like a denim jacket & ankle-strap sandals, but you could easily dress it up with statements earrings & lace-up heels (a great option for Easter!). More lace dresses to try include this bell-sleeve style, this scalloped-hem shift & this fit & flare.

What I’m wearing:

c/o Levi’s Denim Jacket, c/o Ronni Nicole Lace Dress (wearing size 4),

c/o Worthington Beckwith Pumps (also in red, black & nude),

c/o Liz Claiborne Elyse Crossbody Bag, c/o a.n.a Hoop Earrings

This look would be perfect for vacation – I’m wishing I had found these pants before Mexico because they are so lightweight & comfortable (anything with an elastic waist is a win in my book!). The printed pattern gives them a chic laid-back vibe and the little ruffle detail on this sweater adds a feminine touch. I can’t get over these scalloped wedges – they are a near-identical dupe to a much more expensive designer version and they literally go with everything. I’d also wear these pants with a fitted tank, metallic flat sandals & straw hat – so great for a day at the beach!
