What I Just Bought: Stylish Finds at Smart Prices
Contrary to popular belief, there actually are mail-order retailers that offer stylish options at affordable prices. Newport News as of late has so to speak "upped their game" and as a result, many goodies abound these days! Of course, it does take some combing through some of the more dowdy items which are reserved for the base mail-order crowd. However, after some strategic mouse-clicking I managed to stumble upon some great pieces at amazing prices. Alas, a shopping spree that doesn't give my Visa card a hangover!
High-waist suspender pencil skirt $39
High-waist pencil skirt with elastic, clip-on suspenders. Back zip and slit; knee-length, 27" long (25" Petite). Woven polyester/rayon with spandex for comfort; lined. Dry clean. Imported.
Okay, what's better than a pencil skirt? In my world where it's typically a dash between the office and dinner and drinks with associates, the pencil skirt is a wardrobe staple! Pencil skirts are perfect from making that transition from work to play. This piece is definitley no exception. The suspenders are both fashion forward and super chic. Also, I love the way they styled this with yellow pumps. It's all about bright shoes this Spring!
Ruffled bodysuit $29 each (I picked up two!)
Stretch-poplin bodysuit with tuxedo ruffles; jersey knit panty with snap close. Button front and cuffs. Cotton/spandex. Machine wash. Imported.

If you thought the bodysuit was "passe", your wrong. When it comes to pencil fit skirts and trousers these body conscious pieces are a savior. The bodysuit lays close to your body all day for a form fitting pulled together look. This piece is great under suits or worn alone!
Tunic-length V-neck sweater $25 (on sale; I got three!)
Ultra-flattering, tunic-length V-neck sweater with feminine ruffled cuffs. Soft, cashmere-like combed cotton in a sleek jersey knit; ribbed trim. Machine wash. Imported.
Ultra-flattering, tunic-length V-neck sweater with feminine ruffled cuffs. Soft, cashmere-like combed cotton in a sleek jersey knit; ribbed trim. Machine wash. Imported.
There's nothing more flattering than a V-neck tunic length sweater. This item is a great Winter to Spring transitional piece. These tunics look great when paired with skinny jeans and boots or leggings and pumps. At $25 these sweater are a steal, I picked up three of them in Emerald, Dark Raspberry and Black hues.

Needs no explanation, simply classic! My only gripe here is that I wish this piece was available in a few more neutral colors. The only alternative to black offered is purple which really does not do the safari style justice. I would have adored this piece in khaki or navy.

Trust me. It's never too early to start swimsuit shopping. With all the trial and error that goes along with swimsuit fitting, I know this much is true. I've been a nomad clad two piece donning diva for some time, but the new one pieces are defnitely far from matronly. This shape fx halter swimsuit with waist beading is just a dream!

The whole bounty including shipping and handling: Under $300! My mother would be so proud of me!
