The Acquired! Items from Macy’s Closing.

So it turns out that the Macy’s in my area is closing-sad, sad, sad.  There’s a whole new renovation plan in the works to get Laurel a mall it can be proud of and that’s exciting to hear. Okay back to the topic at hand. So while I’m sad my local Macy’s is closing, I found great deals and acquired some items that I’m so excited about. I’ll be putting each one to good use and featuring them in, “I wore it like this” segments. So here they are!!! Enjoy and be Inspired!!!

Gradations of Grays, Gold and Black!!!

As some of you may or may not know I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE GRAY. It’s my favorite color- along with Black and Red. Weird I know. Anyway, this is a little weekend wear. I love this Gray patterned shrug and it’s the focal point of this whole get-up. I have to say, that when I first got it my sister was like what were you thinking buying that- (see it’s not something that she would buy)? But the next thing out of her mouth was “anyway, you know how to put these things together”. Well, thanks for the vote of confidence sister dear, LOL. Clothing and style is all about how and what you make blossom out of it. Personally, I think the look works, so see how I put it all together below.

Bergdorf Goodman’s Got the Goods!!!

I got a cute  promo gift from Bergdorf Goodman, that I’ll definitely be putting  to good use.  I have to admit that I haven’t shop at Bergdorf Goodman in about a year and that is quite sometime. I think it’s a result of when I was in grad school and trying to be more fashionably frugal. Well, I went on-line to Bergdorf Goodmam,  since that’s my preferred method of shopping, to check out the  Shoe Salon and of course Sale section (keeping it fashionably frugal), to see what catches my fancy. LOL. Oh, did I mention that I love the picture for the promo gift-as seen below.  Yep, I LOVE IT! Well, be sure to visit  Bergdorf Goodman,  either in person or online and see what catches your FANCY!!!    Keep Blogging and Laters- Oby       Share this:EmailDiggFacebookRedditPrintStumbleUpon Read More
