Rumour Has IT.....

........Four Words...."Don't Sleep on JC Penney." They have really stepped their game up! I've been shopping for my daughter and my career wear at JCP for years! I went in there this past weekend and racked up on some amazing deals. The quality of clothing is great, the service is good, but the SALES are A-MA-ZING!

I have a growing daughter that I have to purchase a new wardrobe for with each change of season-and that can be expensive. So, choosing to shop at JCP or any other major department store I look for inexpensive,  quality and trendy pieces that will survive the wash and summer vacation.

Here's a sample...and Yes, I'm BUYING this DRESS from JCP...

Shopping Tip of the Week:  Finding the perfect outfit or pieces can be a daunting task if you have a special event or vacation to shop for. Don't Panic! If you have an idea or a vision of what you want your outfit to look like-take pics with your smartphone, screenshots or clip them out of magazines. Start early-last minute shopping can be very frustrating and tiresome. Just like making a list with grocery shopping-Make a list for apparel shopping. List out the stores you want to scope out, colors, patters, accessories, ect. Patience, budget and knowing what you want are critical in a healthy, stress free shopping experience.
