Get the #ArtofFashion this Holiday Season that won’t break your bank #Cbias

November 20, 2012 By Melanie Roberts 15 Comments

Shoping at sears for #ArtofFashion 2

The Holidays are upon us and I’m sure the first Christmas Party invites are rolling in. I just received our office party invite and the next party invite is already in the mail as well, I’m sure. But what to wear? If you are like me, you will probly try on 50 different outfits and still not end up with an outfit that you adore. No worries, I think I figured out the #ArtofFashion and found an easy way to look classy, dressy and be comfy at any Holiday Party you are invited to this Season. 

Come along and check out some of the styles that I picked out for my many holiday parties. I don’t buy just for a day, I don’t buy my outfits for a season; my outfits will have to last me all year from office wear to evening party time as well as casual Friday and anything I wear will have to be as comfy as my favorite pair of PJ’s, yet look stylish to go to any dinner party.

Before I headed out to the Mall, I checked out my Shop Your Way Rewards Account, if you are not familiar with “Shop Your Way Rewards” be sure check out my Google Plus Story to hear more about the Shopping trip as well as the Shop Your Way Rewards program, or head over and visit Shop Your Way Rewards and sign up on the web.

I created a Catalog on Shop Your Way with searsStyle that I liked to see what products I could expect in store and what styles they had available. Best part, I would be able to purchase them right then and there through my Shop Your Way Rewards account and have it shipped or if available, picked up in store. I decided to check out the selection in store, I was kind of in a bind, since my first Holiday Party is just a few days away and didn’t want to risk the outfit not being as expected.

Isn’t that a super cool way to shop and compare your style? It’s almost like a scrapbook that will keep everything you like in one place until you are ready to purchase. Ahhhh, the possibilities and outfits I could put together. 

Once I arrived at Sears, I strolled the store to check out all the products I had added to my Shop Your Way catalog and actually ended up purchasing quite a few of the items selected. I must have spend a few hours in Sears, I couldn’t believe how affordable the outfits where and the selection available.

Let me give you a little tip in how to put together a simple, elegant and very affordable outfit. Add a pair of black slacks, a nice comfy pair of Jeans and a pair of black heels to your closet; once you have that, your wardrobe is pretty much set for any occasion.

I love to buy tops that I can pair with Jeans as well as with my dress pants for the office; making every top you choose versatile for being a casual item as well as a dressy item. Everything I own can be worn to the office during the day with a nice pair of slacks, but I can also tone it down and still look like a million bucks for a dinner party or casual day.

I ended up with 1 pair of black heels, 3 tops and a cardigan and spend just over $90; each piece was under $20 and I ended up with 8 different outfit combinations. How super cool is that? Add a little accessory like a scarf or a necklace and your outfit will take on a different dimension, yet it won’t break your bank.

Not only are the items I choose comfy and totally my Style, but they are very versatile for office attire or Holiday Party; very little effort will turn nothing fancy into something dressy. I just love to mix and match tops with a simple black slack or a comfy Jeans and still look like I spend big bucks on my outfit; yet, my pocket book will show you a different story.

Looking classy shouldn’t be expensive nor take you days to put together; very simple to do and I guarantee anyone can do it. Just pick your favorite top and off to the Family Get Together or Office party you go. Dressed for success shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg and Sears definitely was able to proof that to me during my shopping trip.

I also love how easy these simple outfits are to keep clean; I don’t iron nor do I dry clean; nope…. everything I own will go into the washer, if it won’t make it, it wasn’t worth it. So I’m all for simple, easy and comfy, yet I don’t look like I just crawled out of bed; spend very little and still feel like I’m stylish and ready for any occasion; what do you think? Is this your style? Something you would wear as well?

You too can dress like me and won’t break the bank in the process. These 8 outfits will get me through the Holiday Season and I will never show up to a party in the same outfit twice. I can honestly say I will be dressed in style no matter where I go, will you?

Before you head out for Black Friday or any other time, make sure you sign up for the Shop Your Way Rewards program to save a little extra on your purchase, many stores participate and your rewards will add up quickly. Sears actually e-mailed me a copy of my receipt along with my Shop Your Way rewards balance and additional exclusive coupons towards future purchases. I was very surprised at the awesomeness of the coupons and how valuable they actually where. So worth signing up, what you got to lose? You most certainly have lots to gain!!

    I really liked how you shows the different outfits and styles. Most people under estimate how far a pair of black slacks and jeans will take your wardrobe.
