Pricey Vs. Possible: Camel Oversize Blazer

Pricey Vs. Possible: Camel Oversize Blazer by superchicmom featuring an oversized outfit

After seeing this post on Brooklyn Blonde, I was obsessed with getting an oversize blazer like this Theory one. In my search for a more affordable version on shopstyle.com, I came across this Forever 21 version. While I was deciding whether or not to buy, I happened upon this post featuring the possible. I can't really online shop at Forever 21 since I can be anywhere from a small to large, so I headed to my local store. I was impressed when I tried the Forever 21 coat on. It was nice and thick and looks more expensive in person - so I had to buy. I got the same look for under $50! Look for it in an outfit post soon!

Both the luxury Theory and the affordable Forever 21 are making some truly cool coats this season!

Pricey vs. Possible: Fuzzy Plaid Sweater

I love plaid for fall and winter to the point that I am kind of obsessed. I am also loving texture and all the cozy fuzzy sweater styles being shown. So put the two together and done and done. Hard to justify big bucks on such a trendy item even though this Theory Sweater is amazing. Instead I ordered this Forever 21 sweater for under $25.00. Forever 21is also having a sale and if you spend $50 you get $15 off and free shipping (use code save15).

So what are your thoughts - do you love these plaid furry pieces for real women or are they better left in the fashion magazines?

I don't know why, but I am totally loving Buffalo Plaid or Check this winter. I love that it has an outdoorsy vibe yet is somewhat preppy at the same time. I think it is totally cool for Moms on the go. Chic or No ?

Falling for Burgundy

Falling for Burgundy by superchicmom featuring lips makeup

I don't know why, but this fall I am craving some Burgundy colored accessories. Is it too much to have it on your lips, hat, and boots? Maybe, but look how well it works on Lacey from A Lacey Perspective. I am also loving this A&E fur scarf for under $35.00! I think if you are throwing on some fur, it helps to dress it down with distressed jeans, utility jacket, and cap.

What earth tones are you loving for fall?

Summer Stripes into Fall

I really don't want summer to be over since it is my favorite season! In this look, I am trying to find a way to stretch some of my summer items into fall with things I already have. What items are you stretching into fall?

 I have a few friends whose kids are off to kindergarten or college! How is everyone doing with your kids back at school?

Have  great day!

Summer Pops Of Neon

In keeping with the last post, I am a little obsessed with neon. I did love it in the 80's and am kind of psyched to see it making a comeback. Color is just fun. Here are some of my favorite neon, budget, and mom friendly items. I refuse to spend a lot on such a trendy item. Here is how I am tempering mine - jeans, dark blazer, and a white tee - then adding a pop of one of the above items ( not the necklace, shoes, and bag). What are your thoughts on neon, must have or must forget?

Flamingo Print for Moms

Summer is definitely my favorite season. I love all things tropical - including pina coladas, palm trees, and flamingos. When I saw this Tory Burch Tunic, I was in love. But, not quite enough to invest so much on something so whimsical. Luckily, Forever 21 and Zara have great, super affordable options. So - I can buy my whimsy bird print without breaking the bank. How to style it ? A beach vibe with denim shorts and sandals keeps this motif from becoming too old crazy print lady. A fedora and bright pink lip make it more young and modern. What do you think , summer fun or too much?

C'est La Vie for under $50

So, I never go into Forever 21 because, let's be real, at some point you just aren't forever 21 and you have to face it. However, since I am on a budget, I thought let me check this place out, and came out with the red version of this c'est la vie sweater. If you have been following my blog, you know I get obsessed with anything Parisian Chic, and this fit the bill. Now, I don't have a girl, but if I did, I would be buying this cute little cashmere number and Minnie flats - both are affordable. Who doesn't like to be cuddled in cashmere? I also have been wanting to try the trendy "smoking slipper" but at a good price point, and Voila - found these. Since it's still winter throw your camel coat over as a topper. Transition this into spring with white jeans. And oh, why no outfit posts recently - my camera broke. Promise more coming soon......
