My $99 Marshall’s Find: Feeling Blue Today

I’m part of Lucky Magazine‘s Style Collective and I was given an assignment – head to Marshall‘s, find something stylish, show us, and then share it!

Done! It was a quick jaunt outside to do lunch with a friend and I didn’t want the bulk of a coat (going for house to car) and didn’t need to bundle up too much….

  • If you wanted to add a bit more polish ~ you could have rocked a nice tweed or print blazer
  • If you wanted more color ~ just add a more colorful scarf and brighter tee
  • If you wanted a skosh more coverage ~ I’d opt for a slightly heftier top

My outfit: Elorie navy patent flats ~ J Brand coated denim skinny jeans ~ Pour La Victorie clutch {*my Marshall’s purchase}, $99 ~ jewelry by John Hardy & David Yurman ~ Tom Ford sunglasses

 

I always find something fabulous when I’m shopping at Marshall’s and I want to give you the chance to as well! WIN a $100 Marshall’s gift card by telling us what you hope to scoop at Marshall’s with your $100 gift card {contest ends November 30th}.

  1. Personally I head STRAIGHT to the handbags and dig; I’ve had my eye on a couple of gorgeous, buttery soft Ralph Lauren bags lately, or maybe my beloved Michael Kors. It varies (and I’m the type who knows which Marshalls/TJ Maxx stores are best for which types of items…); all I know is that Marshall’s and TJ Maxx (same owner/one company) are my favorite stores.

  2. Rebecca- see I make a b-line for the candles usually!! There aren’t a ton of Marshall’s so I try to make my rounds too!

  3. that’s a worthwhile investment–even if you have to add a bit of your own money to the mix!

  4. That’s totally doable but let’s look for a print or something with a touch of color to stay on trend & add versatility to our closet!

  5. You are telling the truth although I’m loyal to Yummie Tummie!

  6. LOL I’m never looking for something that exposes my body but, perhaps I’ll check it out next go-round

  7. I’d love a chic new tote bag/computer bag. I want to carry my lap top to work in style! 🙂 Thanks for the fab giveaway!

  8. LOL I love your reaction! A sequin mini sounds cute – Friday’s post will show how to wear sequins during the day!

  9. I try to help- plus with the holidays it can used to buy something fab for yourself or to spend on others!

  10. I’ve been looking for a nice satchel handbag and hope I can find one Marshalls.
    Thanks for a great giveaway and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

  11. I’d definitely invest in some new sweaters or maybe some awesome new accessories including new scarves and belts!

  12. I could really use some new work pants. The gift card would be perfect because I don’t like to spend money on work clothes.

  13. Thomas- yes! I try to think about he item I really want and then just use the gift card to help. Peacoats are classic!!

  14. Jenn- Marshall’s would be a great place to start shopping although you’ve got make a few investment purchases as well.

  15. Accessories are the glue that hold any outfit together – good choice (like my navy blue clutch)!

  16. Ooo, Monica, LOVE Marshalls and with my $100 gift card, I’d score some holiday decorations and “smell goods” (perfume) for myself! Talk about the holiday spirit! Bring it on!

  17. I can never seem to get enough boots and scarves. I am always on the prowl for more.

  18. You’re making me feel bad because that’s a GREAT ideal…although I do LOVE Marshall’s for their (Aquiesse) candle selection!

  19. You should be able to do send serious damage there–the girls love sparkly stuff, denim & cute sweaters!!

  20. I basically want to buy your whole outfit! But really, I could use a new pair of warm boots and maybe a sweater or two!

  21. You are so kind! My outfit is actually accumulated pieces across the years but the Pour la Victorie bag and Elorie ballet flats are recent finds!

  22. Hmm sweater dresses are a winter item that sees a lot of airtime in my closet – I’m very fem and the sweater keeps it comfy with tall riding boots!

  23. I am all about Marshall’s . . . especially since I decided that it doesn’t make sense to spend more than $100 for a quality bag. *sniffle*

  24. Curvy CEO- is this a 2013 shopping moratorium? I’m a fan of the deal but not sure I can stick with my handbags being under $100…let us know how that goes!!

  25. You should be able to snag a few pair with $100….an everyday pair, a pair for your holiday looks, and likely a nice statement necklace

  26. Flexibility is good – focus on the fabric and texture to up your versatility game!

  27. Yes! A jacket with a touch of peplum or asymmetry is terrific….

  28. I’d pick up a new sweater and a scarf and check out the cosmetics. Love the variety Marshall’s carries!

  29. Cosmetics? I’ve never checked out that department. I typically stick to candles…and go from there!

  30. Better than a holiday outfit, get a few items that will work across outfits like a purse, shimmery cardigan, etc.

  31. Hi Monica: Since I’m all about strrretching a dollar, with the $100 card I would get this beaded tank (see attached), pair it with black cigarette pants and add a tuxedo blazer with a pop of color! And the cool thing is, I CAN actually do all of this for $100 because being a diva on a dime is what Marshall’s is all about! Thaks so much for the opportunity!

  32. OMG you are totally a diva and have the ENTIRE outfit worked out!! Very feminine chic

  33. I am interested in buying more sweaters, sweater dresses and dresses for work as they hve the cutest Kalvin Klien dresses. If I have anything left over Im going to look for some shoes.

  34. Charlie- I always find it best to go for that one spectacular item and then you can build around that. Which item do you want to splurge on?

  35. If I win the $100 GC from Marshall’s, I would purchase a few winter items for needy children in my neighborhood. It is the season to give and Marshall’s has a wide range of items. For both girls &the boys.

  36. Good morning CharlieRo! Yes, we selected a winner and we announced them at 10am.
