The Midlife Fashionista: bargain hunter

Watch it

I'm a huge watch fan and one of my favorite lines is Michele. I have a beautiful Michele watch that Richard gave to me on our 10th wedding anniversary. Although I wear it all the time, I also like to have a few "bang around" watches that I don't have to worry about.

I was in Michael's Crafts the other night picking up a frame, and by the checkout counter was a huge rack of watches--all ranging from $9.99 to $14.99! But what really caught my eye was this black "jelly" watch that closely resembles a Michele. No it's not exactly the same, but isn't it cute? This watch will be perfect for working out, hiking or any other activity. So of course I bought it and just had to get another one since there was a "buy one, get one free" sale! Who can resist that? I got 2 watches for $14.99 ($7.50 each!).
Here's the other watch. Doesn't it look like this one?

The rhinestone detailing is pretty impressive!

Sometimes the best stuff can be found at the darndest places!

The next time you're in Michael's, skip the crafts and go watch shopping!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Spotted dotted coat

ageless style

There's a story behind this coat. I was in TJ Maxx earlier in the season and spotted it (no pun intended!).

I tried it on, but thought it was"too much print" for me and almost "dalmation-esque".

But then a few weeks ago as I was milling through the clearance rack (back at TJ's- my home away from home!), there was the coat again! But this time it was on clearance for $29. I tried it on and hmmm....at $29 it didn't seem quite as bold. Isn't it funny how a good sale can make you like something even more?

So of course I bought it (how could I resist such a deal?) and posted a photo to Instagram asking my followers whether I should keep or return it. I got a unanimous KEEP IT!

So I did.

And I'm glad I did. After all, there's nothing worse than the regret us women feel when we didn't nab a good buy. Plus I kind of like looking like dalmatian.

If you're into the spotted look, I found a similar coat you might like HERE.

Ain't it the truth?

About Susan

What does midlife look like? Whatever you want it to! Welcome to my blog, where I share about style, beauty, and lifestyle for those who agree that age has no limits. While health and wellness play an essential role, I believe looking your best helps you feel your best, regardless of where you are on your journey. I also believe when women support and encourage one another, we all benefit, which is why I founded Uncommon Threads, a nonprofit, and co-founded Kicking Cancer in Heels, a community aimed at empowering women impacted by cancer. I hope you’ll follow my experiences on social media.
