Summer is almost over. I waited so long for summer to get here and the next thing I know it is Labor Day. Fall is actually my favorite time of year but around January I long for summer. So for those of you out there who might be getting to do something fun for Labor Day weekend I have a great Labor Day outfit.

This outfit is all from New York and Company. They are having a huge Labor Day sale and many of their items are buy one get one 50% off and they have a huge summer clearance section. On top of all that they have a $25 off of $75 coupon that it is good until September 3rd.

For this particular outfit, I tried to pick items that were summery but you could extend them into fall by wearing a blazer or jacket. Also, because of the buy one get one 50% off I was able to add a cute t-shirt for $7.48.

The 42nd Street Trouser $44.95
The Fairview Collection: Bamboo Halter $9.99

City Style Shoes: Brown Suede $19.50

Bowery Slouch Hobo: $24.50
Mercer Tee:$7.48

SubTotal:$106.42

In this month’s Elle magazine one of their Elle fashion trends was pebbled skin. Of course, almost all of the examples they give were of real crocodile and had price tags in the triple digits. Not really being a fan of either real animal skin nor being able to afford it, I went on a faux hunting trip to find one of this season’s hottest trends.

First stop, the usual suspects. Forever 21 didn’t really have anything on their site. The fifteen dollar store only had snake. Delia’s mainly deals in patent leather. I did manage to find a few cute bags at target.com. Below is one of my favorites.

www.target.com $14.99

The last stop was gojane.com where I did find several croc items. One being a pair of hot red croc heels.

Go Jane Red Croc Heels $20.90


Go Jane Metallic Print Animal Bag $15.99

I was a little disappointed that I didn’t find any faux croc bangles similar to what I picked up at the NYC wholesale district. I will be putting those with outfits for OutFitKit very soon.

A butterfly pendant necklace from Hot Topic(a gift form the hubby years ago), the remaining beads bracelet that I own(Baby Girl broke my other 2), DG blinged sunnies and Xhilaration black teardrop earrings from Target(can’t remember how much). The RAMPAGE studded platform shoes to complete the look.

I know you’ve all been dying to know what I managed to find myself this past Memorial Day sale. Let’s just say, I was a happy shopaholic. I shopped for the 4 of us. Great finds, great sale, great haulage. Woohoooo. Without further adieu, since I’ve made you wait long enough.

Blue L.E.I graphic tee with gathered ruched hem on the sides and puff-cap sleeves. Originally $17, after 75% off, I only paid $4.25

Another great find from the $15 store. Ahhhh, I love the dark cobalt blue color. That’s what initially drew me to this piece. See, my husband said I look really good in dark hues of blue, hence me falling in love with the navy blue polka dot wrap dress that I found from the same store last week. I’m still looking for a perfect pair of navy blue pumps that I can afford of course . Anyway, back to the dress. This strapless, bow front mesh dress is from Jonathan Martin. There’s is a smocking on top along the upper back so your boobs are very well protected . If you like this one, grab it ASAP coz it’s also among their “last call” list.

I found this SELE stretch short sleeves blazer at $15 Store. It’s among their “last call” list. I love the ruching sleeves and the black tones piping of the collar and the pockets. I always go for fitted blazers so this definitely a big Yes for me when I saw it. I just fell inlove with it right away. This could be worn with either jeans or a black trouser, with heels of couse .

I said, in a few days but I couldn’t help myself when I clicked the dress category that is waiting for me at 15dollarstore.com. And Boy did I find some gorgeous ones. I just had to continue my online retail therapy.

White dress during the Summer is an item everyone should have. If you find one with a floral embroidery graphic detail on it, well, you just hit the jackpot. I mean look at this dress. *SIGH*

I’m still in a retail therapy mood. Online that is. But trust me, I am waiting patiently for the Memorial Sale that I know is going to happen this weekend at the Air Foce Base that we frequent during the weekends. Remember my $4 Ralph Lauren top? How about the $8 UNIONBAY pants? Just check out my Friday’s Bargains after reading this post to get an idea of the kind of deals that awaits me this weekend.

Anyway, here are more tops that is helping this ailing fashionista right now. Wait till you see how much they are and where I found them
