"Don't Buy That. It's Ugly."

As I was shopping in Target and picked out this dress below, which I adored, a woman walked by and said "Don't Buy That.  It's Ugly".  Given she had on a crazy outfit, I took that to mean that it was a safe bet to buy the dress and took the chance that I might have more style knowledge than she.

You like?  You can't tell but it has peach straps and a peach underlay at the bottom that pokes out - click on the "buy here" tab below to really see it in all its glory. 

 Dress: Target Buy Here

Jean Jacket: Old Navy, thrifted

Flats: Target (very old)

I think it's cute - so poo on you lady!

I also had some exciting news at work this week - I work at a college, and in the Division of Student Affairs.  For those who don't know there is the Academic and Student Affairs Divisions, both separate - yet continuously trying to work together and not apart!  (Can I get a what what Student Affairs Professionals?)

Yesterday I won the Outstanding Service Award for my division - was pretty excited, and even heard I get a cash bonus.  Money in the bank!!  It was a little awkward because they make you stand on stage while they read a long memo about how awesome you are and all the accomplishments you have completed.  As the lights from the stage bore into my skin and made me sweat like a sinner in church, I stood there in my white dress and started dripping sweat in areas I only hope no one could see.  It was nast.  It was just nothin' but sweat underneath my lovely, white dress.  I was petrified when I turned around there'd be butt sweat on my dress.  Seriously who knew winning an award could be such a sweat-inducing workout? Whoa Nelly.

Either way - I felt really honored and privileged to receive. I also received it alongside one of my co-workers, below.  Isn't she adorbs?

My Dress: JCPenney Buy Here

Hers: No Idea

Old Navy Celebrity Deal! & $75 Giveaway!

Happy Monday!

So this past week I was contacted by a representative at my local Old Navy about my blog - they asked me to come on in, try on some of their clothes, model, showcase, etc. etc. and be fabulous.  In addition they gave me a percentage off of anything I wanted to buy in the store, AND they stuffed customer bags with my information and website!  Talk about feeling fabulous.

When I arrived to the store the rack of clothes/outfits they had picked out for me, in my size, was waiting in my own private dressing room.  I mingled with the store employees, designed different outfits together, helped to fashion other women in the dressing room - Here's the dish:

Seriously - Party like an Old Navy rockstar.  In Old Navy Rockstar skinnies ;-)  

I was obsessed with these shorts! And they came home with me!

 This scarf also came home with me - it looks like a tattered American Flag when you spread it out, love!!

A woman from work came with me to showcase, take pictures, and to shop!  Isn't she the cutest?  She'll kill me if she knows I posted this!

I even convinced her to rock these awesome Sweetheart Old Navy skinnies:

She's the cutest!  You can never be too old for a colored pair of denim.  

Thank you again to Stephanie at Old Navy for allowing me this opportunity - I hope to work with you/Old Navy again in the future!

Don't forget about my gift card raffle for $75 to Savers - ending tomorrow!  If you follow me on Instagram as well at Sarahsavvystyle you'll get extra bonus points!

Have a fabulous Monday -

I Wear Clothes More Than Once. AND a $75 Giveaway

Yup! It's true!

I wear clothes multiple times - sometimes even back to back days if I really love the outfit, and if I knew no one saw it on me the day before and I want to show it off again. 

I think there's this common misconception that bloggers have this endless wardrobe and don't recycle items.  Wrong-O, at least for this gal.  I may have a lot of clothes but I don't have an endless supply of $$$/dinero flowing out of my wallet.  So sometimes I'm left to find new ways to wear items I've already shown before.  Most times, you don't get to see my repeats - mainly because those are the days I don't take pictures because, well, you've been there done that.  But I thought - why not?  I'll expose myself and my, gasp, repeat outfit.

Here's how I previously wore this dress:

Little tanner.  Little more color.  Less inches on the hips overall.  

Here I am today with less color and NOT tan.  Really minimal accessorizing.  And more inches on my hips, butt, stomach, .... literally everywhere, overall.

Dress: Target (Last year, $6 Clearance)

Pumps: Target (Last Year, $8 clearance)

Purse: Marshalls (Last Year)

Jewelry: Watch NY&Co, Pandora Bracelet, Sunglasses NY&Co

I also wore the dress this past weekend to my sisters graduation with my oversized, you've seen it everywhere before, JCrew-knock-off-bubble-necklace.

So moral of the story here, this long-winded story, is that you can reduce/reuse/recycle items in your closet many times over.  It's all in how you do or do NOT dress up with accessories, different color shoes, and attitude!

Don't forget to enter the giveaway for a $75 gift card to SAVERS!  $75 to go thrifting with?  Seriously - how can you beat it, that's like a whole new wardrobe and then some!  If you win and you're in my area or near me let me know - we'll go together :-)

Nautical Look & $75 Gift Card Giveaway!

I love a nautical look.  

At work this week I threw a nautical-themed party and, of course, had to go all out in appropriate theme :-)  The idea was that the students were our livesavers this year, and our anchors - so we did an entire theme surrounding that. 

I even wore my captain's hat...

Here's the full outfit!

Shoes: Thrifted, Steve Madden Girl @Savers

Blazer: Forever 21

Top: Thrifted, @Goodwill

Skirt: Cynthia Rowley, @TJMaxx

I was obsessed when I found these shoes at Savers - aren't they sublime??  The cutest things ever.  

And I love a good theme so I had to go in nautical wear ;-)

Later that night I came home and my pup Zoe decided she wanted to try out her fashion sense as well.

This necklace was sitting propped on its side - and she slipped it right onto her neck! I was cracking up

Necklace: Sassy Steals

Don't forget to enter the raffle giveaway for $75 to Savers!!!  Good anywhere ;-)

Boston Trip

Um yeah.  I haven't done a post in what seems like 3 centuries.  Welcome to Earth Sarah.  

I took a trip to Boston this past weekend and I have been playing catch-up ever since but wanted to fill you in on some fab finds!

 Is this not the cutest MK business card holder you ever did see?  I LOVE IT! AND it was only $15!!

 I love Zara.  But I'd never been to their store - and I was in heaven.  Zara Heaven. I have been Zara-fied!  And I LOVE that it's on Newberry street in Boston - such a fabulous street of beautiful stores and retailers.

 

Jacket: Thrifted, Dots

Skinnies: Thrifted, Express

Flats: Target

Bag: JCPenney, clearance $5

I wore this number around town because it was absolutely freezing.  Like whoa.  But it was the perfect combination for keeping warm!!

I don't have the pictures at the moment but we also went to the site of the Boston Finish Line which was very sad, and I got to go to Harvard!!!  It was a blast...for someone who works on a college campus, seeing Harvard was especially moving for me.

I'm sorry I've been MIA but I promise to be back in full swing soon - hope everyone is having a fabulous week!

Classy Look with Jeans

Blazer: Thrifted

Necklace: JCrew via eBay

Top: Kohls (Old)

Pants: Old Navy Rockstar Skinnies (Old)

Flats: Target (few months ago)

I love black pants - they're versatile so you can dress them up or down (really any jeans you can).

Not much time for a post today I'm sorry but enjoy - see you tomorrow gators!

Mixing Monochromatic Color Blocking

Sweater : Gap Outlet

Top : JCPenney (OLD)

Skirt: Marshalls, Cynthia Rowley (Recent - $15)

Bag: Marshalls (last year)

Flats: Target (sale - $8)

In case you can't tell (which lets be honest you can't) this sweater is mint. It looks white but it's not - take my word for it.  I liked the idea of staying within the same color family for this outfit today - don't be afraid to mix similar colors together for monochromatic color blocking!

I don't have time to write much else today so thanks for stopping by - much love <3
