If you've neglected buying new outerwear for a few years, now is the time to invest in a great, classic coat. The best coats to invest in are neutrals that are long enough to keep you warm and tailored enough for work (nobody needs to see you turn up at the office in a hot pink puffy jacket...)
I love this chocolate brown coat from Collection Ellen Tracy (Buy Direct). It comes in a super-luxe alpaca/wool blend and features a flattering wide collar and classic tie-waist design: perfect over dresses and pants. Right now it's priced at 40% off, and this is the type of investment dressing that will give you a polished office wardrobe. (Photo Credit: Nordstrom.)
I'm in awe of the coupon-clipping queens that are featured on reality TV (although, they are not fun to get behind in the grocery check out line -- I almost lost my mind behind an uber-couponer the other day...)
But coupon-clipping isn't the only way to save money on clothing. There are 8 strategies that smart shoppers use (Hint: one involves Flash Sales.)
Plunging necklines, loads of cleavage and cut-to-there slits? Not this year. Celebrities are enjoying a new modesty and opting for looks like high necklines (Jessica Chastain), long sleeves (Julianna Margulies) and generally more modest looks (even Sofia Vergara seemed happier showing off her newly toned arms than her famous curves.)
