December 26th Deals

Happy "After Christmas Sales" Day!
For any of you who don't know this, "Day After Christmas" sales can be really great.  There are usually all kinds of deals and coupons for many stores on December 26th.  Annnnd I'd wager that many of you probably have a fat stack of shiny new gift cards that are begging to be used.  ("Yay!  Thanks for the free clothes, Auntie!").  If so, I'd definitely consider braving the mall today to scoop up some awesome deals if I were you.

*Some of my favorite sales of the year are currently going on now, too- Yippee!  The Bath & Body Works Semi-Annual Sale begins in stores today.  The Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale is already online and starts in stores on January 2nd.*

Sooo yesterday was Christmas (just in case you didn't get the memo).  I truly hope you all had an amazing holiday with your loved ones!  In the week leading up to one of my favorite days of the year, my mom and I went shopping a lot since I've been out here in Arizona.  (In fact, we actually just got back from shopping the 12/26 sales ourselves and getting haircuts- do you like my new 'do?).  I got some really great pieces as Christmas gifts too (Thanks, family!!!) to feature in upcoming posts.  To start off, I thought I'd show you all this festive and colorful new top:

 

  

Truth NYC red heart print blouse: T.J. Maxx $12.99

-Similar styles: JCPenney $10 (on sale from $17), JCPenney $10 (on sale from $18), JCPenney $10 (on sale from $20), Forever 21 $13.86 (on sale from $19.80), Forever 21 $14.50, Old Navy $14.97 (on sale from $29.94), Old Navy $12.97-$25 or Old Navy $20

As I mentioned in my "Fashionista Feature: Mama Mia" post, a few of these Old Navy shirts were less expensive in the store than they were online, so it's worth checking out if you get a chance.  Plus, their "To: Me, From: Me" sale they have today has A-MA-ZING deals!

Forever 21 dark wash skinny jeans: $10.80

-Similar styles: Forever 21 $10.80 or Old Navy $25 (on sale from $34.50)

This polka dot pair of skinnies from Old Navy for $19.97 (on sale from $34.50) would be a cute twist on this outfit if you decide to go with one of the solid shirts instead!

Paprika flat sandals: My mom gave them to me in 2011.

-Similar styles: Old Navy $18, Urbanog $19.50, Urbanog $19.50 or DSW $19.94 (on sale from $50)
Ballet flats or boots would work nicely, too, for those of you who are located in a more frigid climate ;)

Target silver arrow ring: Fall 2012 on clearance for about $3.50

-Similar style: LuLu*s $8 (on sale from $11)
*Update 12/27: LuLu*s is offering an extra 40% off sale items with promo code "HELLO2013" until 1/1/13!*
Silver customized "Allie" bracelet: Bridesmaid gift from my darling friend, Sarah :)

I think a printed slouchy shirt like this one above is a great option with jeans and flats for a casual lunch with friends or worn under a blazer with heels to make it work appropriate.  It can definitely be styled multiple ways which makes it one of my new favorite finds!


So did you already go out today to shop the After Christmas sales?  Did you give and receive anything good yesterday?!  Let me know what ya got- I always love hearing from you guys :)  You can leave a comment below, e-mail lunavida23@gmail.com, tweet me, or write on the LunaVida Facebook page!
