Clearly, you can see that I have an affinity for purple and green. One day, I woke up, and everything in my closet was a hue appropriate for a jester’s or queen’s closet. I’m talking from hats to socks and sneakers. At least I’ve muted the palette a bit with my favorite brown J.Crew boots. Almost forgot to mention, the blue dress is Charter Club, and I purchased it for maybe $20. It’s not what you wear, it’s how you wear it!
There are days when I want to put ZERO effort into styling myself. On these days, I wear a dress, more specifically the below “Go To”. Purchased for $30 from Macy’s Charter Club collection, this chicskate dress fits well and complements my coloring perfectly. It’s great to feel incredibly confident in something that cost less than a dinner for two!

These images are from a photo shoot with Casey Carter of Casey Culture on Bond Street at Lafayette. I love the charm of the brick streets and how the color of them matches the gray Calvin Klein dress. I’ve had this dress for some years now and it’s become my go-to when I want to be comfortable yet stylish. I like to pair muted colors with a pattern and lately, I’ve become fond of animal prints — the Charter Club cardigan was a perfect match. I purchased it for under $20 at Macy’s. The wellies are from British company, Wedge Welly. They’re incredibly comfortable and have a cute little wedge that makes you feel a bit sexier than the average rain boot does. The necklace is one of my favorites – a smart $50 purchase at the J.Crew outlet store, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worn it. I pair it with just about anything when I want to spice up an outfit and feel a bit more sophisticated.
On my latest shopping trip, I came across some amazing deals at Macy’s. I find a number of fabulous steals at what many consider to be their shopping mecca. As I’m exiting the store, my eye caught a sale rack stacked with summer finds suitable for any chicskate.
As I culled through the sections, I uncover this fabulous white dress from Macy’s brand, Charter Club. Not only does the dress fit me perfectly, but the linen is of great quality and the dress has a built in liner. Of course, being the bargain shopper that I am, I use the price scanner to find out that it’s ONLY $20! Seriously, what more could a girl ask for? My friend said it well, “What can you get for $20? My groceries cost more than that!”
Anyways, so the next time you’re leaving Macy’s, don’t forget to stop at the treasure trove, otherwise known as the Charter Club section.
