Last month I thought I’d hit the winter coat jackpot. I found this “adorable” grey and black Target peacoat for a great price and was this close to ordering it online. The next day I ended up driving into Omaha and stopped to purchase the said beauty. Upon arrival in the women’s section, I saw a “similar” coat… that couldn’t be it though, right? This thing was frumpy, mud-colored and when I put it on… slightly homeless would be a good way to describe me. I was back to square one.

Both my coat from last year AND the peacoat I’d purchased the year before have broken zippers. I still wear them (they’re cute and warm, I can’t seem to let go), but I end up layering immensely. Here’s where having a great sweater underneath comes in handy. Below I’m showcasing my favorite fall budget friendly sweaters. Where have you found the best deals on layering pieces? I tend to stick with stores that keep prices under $50 ($40 is my sweet spot for a sweater) and carry traditional solid colors. I love to wear sweaters over dresses for work – business casual and comfy!

Off topic – but important to know: tonight at 6PM on my Instagram, I’m partnering with Garbo’s Salon and Spa to giveaway $300 of hair products custom to you! I’ve been going to Garbo’s since my 2009, and can’t say enough good things. I love when I get the opportunity to work with brands that I was already a raving fan of! The giveaway is open through the end of the month and details can be found on the Instagram post.
