Look of the Day: Head to Toe JCP

Well, this is embarrassing. If you'd have asked me in May if I owned anything from JCPenney I probably would have given you a confused look and said "What? No." If it hadn't been for this whole Redbook bonanza  I don't think I would have ever figured out how majorly awesome and affordable they are. You see, JCPenney was the sponsor of the Real Women Style Awards, so we all were given generous gift cards to said department store. So, basically, I can now sport entire outfits made up of stuff from JCPenney.

This is one of those outfits. Except for the necklace and sunglasses, everything else is off the sale racks at JCP. I've been living in this convertible skirt from Bisou Bisou. The blouse is by Joe Fresh and is perfectly gauzy, with the cutest flocked dots. The black slingback sandals by Arizona rival my Birkenstocks when it comes to comfort. They're on super clearance right now, so hurry if you want a pair!

If your size is no longer available, I highly recommend checking out anything made by Call It Spring. Everything is surprisingly on-trend and affordable, of course. I bought these, in both colors, and I'm dying for a reason to wear them! Remind me to style them one of these days!

summer pants

Surprisingly, these are great summer pants. The fabric is light enough and loose enough to stay perfectly cool. It doesn't cling but is still stretchy enough to allow for conversions. So far, I've found 3 different ways of wearing the waistband, including high-waisted, folded down, and, like in this shot, pulled up over the chest to create a pantsuit effect.

If I had the money I would wear nothing but American Apparel and J.Crew
