COACH FRIDA LOAFER

I like to build my wardrobe with classic pieces that I’ll use until they “wear out,” but what about keeping in tune with the trends of the season?  Scouting the Junior Department or stores that appeal to the young shopper is an economical way to spice up your classics.

Capes are “in” this season. I chose to shop in Nordstrom Juniors department for “the cape” that will work perfectly for the season.  This was a better option for me as I compared several others that were 2-3 times the price. A hint for Junior shopping: “eye the size” instead of going to your normal size. Junior fashion isn’t the same fit as regular Women’s;  I’ve purchased small to X-Large so my regular S or M doesn’t always apply to Junior fit.

Nordstrom Jolt Cape Juniors $78.00

Another option is checking stores that cater to the younger buyer. I’d rather spend less on a trend item than a purchase I’ll keep for years.

Small purchase – does the trick – no worries to recycle at the end of the season.

H & M Sweater $19.95

H & M  Coat $29.95
