I just bought a winter coat at H&M. You’re right the sales are amazing. I paid $60 for the coat and I absolutely love it. I also picked up a gorgeous sweater. Thanks for all your other great suggestions. I have to get back to the mall to see what other great pieces I can find.
I love costume jewelry!!! Unfortunately I tend to misplace and lose everything. It’s a little less painful when it’s not a real gem, or diamond. I find that the right piece of jewelry can take your outfit from good to memorable!
