I don’t know about you, but I am NOT going to pay $90 for the Brooks Brother’s version of the basic white shirt!  This one’s perfectly fine for what I need….something to wear under a jacket or sweater, or over a pair of jeans.  The price is right at $24.99 (regularly $42.00).  Available in 7 colors (I bought the basic white and the white/green/gray stripe).  The French cuffs are just icing on the cake.  Cotton/polyester/spandex.  Available in Misses, Petites, Talls, and Women’s.  Order from JCPenney.

I know, I know…bad economy and all that.  Whatever.  This is a shameless splurge item, but it’s just too cute!  This taupe, soft leather jacket is from J.Jill has cute cropped length and 3/4-length sleeves (I told you it was trendy!).  $299.  Also available in Petite sizes.  Just splurge already!

It’s no secret that I love sweaters, and I have a ton of them.  I’m always looking for something unusual to make me want to add to my stash.  What caught my eye about this one is the buckle detail at the side of a pretty asymmetical cowl neck.  Very stylish—no hiding this one under a blazer!  Viscose/nylon/lambswool/cotton/cashmere blend.  $88 ON SALE NOW FOR $44.99.  Petite sizes available.  Order from Talbots.
