I can't believe that May is here! GEESH!!!! Where has the time gone? April was a bit of an emotional month for me. In the midst of ...
One of my many passions is saving money! I
even have a part of this blog that shares my secret life of couponing.
I am all about shopping smarter and making
wise financial decisions all while looking GOOD!
I have shared my 7 favorite places consign here on the blog. I have shared a few times about Gwynnie Bee but I haven’t
gone into detail on this amazing company in a while.
I received this super cute and comfy sweater in my latest Gwynnie Bee box and it's perfect for this Friday's #FunDaysWithTot!
So, I
have a few questions for you that I had to ask myself….
How
often do we buy something and only wear it once?
How
often do we pass up items in the store because it's just not practical to
purchase?
Have
you heard of Gwynnie Bee??
GwynnieBee is a clothing subscription service for women size 10 and up, think of it as a Netflix for clothes!
1. Sign up for your free 30 days with this link here and choose how many items you would like to have out at a time. The options range from 1 item out at $49 a month to 10 items for $199 a month. I currently have the 2 item plan for $59 a month. I have found that this plan works best for me. In 1 month, I have received as many as 15 items on this plan. The cool thing is that you can keep the items as long as you want. Just be aware that your next pieces won't ship until you return or purchase the items that you have out.
2. Once you are all signed up, you can begin adding items to what Gwynnie Bee calls your closet. Once you have 50 pieces in your closet, they will begin to send you pieces depending on which plan you picked. The only downside is you cannot pick which items you receive, you can only label an item as "priority" and they will push that to the front of your list, to ensure that you receive your priority items sooner.
3. Once you wear your garment from Gwynnie Bee, you return the item using their prepaid packet. That easy! No cleaning or anything. If you find that you love it and want to keep it, you simply log into your Gwynnie Bee account and purchase the item.
I have discovered new brands, tried clothes that I normally would look over, and had the luxury of even beeing in one of Gwynnie Bee's commercials.

When I received this super cute
lightweight jacket from Gwynnie Bee, I was immediately in love with it! The only thing is, I could not figure out exactly how I wanted to style it.... the possibilities were endless! I decided to have some fun with this blog post and give you 4 different looks featuring this Jete (an exclusive Gwynnie Bee brand) jacket. Now, let's play dress up!
Let’s get into Look 1!
Look 1 is easy and breezy. I paired the lovely Jete jacket with a cobalt blue ankle pant from The Limited.
I added some gold accents with the belt and the shoes!
I think this look is great to wear almost anywhere. Dinner, church, date night and even the office.
I wore this look to a gospel festival held in Chicago’s Millennium Park but I traded the heels for sneakers for a pretty comfortable feel and look.
Let’s get into Look 2!
Look 2 is actually my favorite
look full of some of my favorite pieces.
For look 2 I paired the Jete jacket with my most favorite pair of jeans for a casual yet sexy look. Let’s not underestimate the power of a GOOD pair of jeans! These jeans are from American Eagle Outfitters! They have some amazing jeans for girls with curves.
Clearly, I love my belts, so I went with my favorite Fendi belt for this chill look. Then, I topped it off with my favorite sparkly Louboutin Pigalle 120.
I did mention that this look is full of some of my faves, right?! Lol!
I think this look is perfect for a fun girls’ night out, date night with bae, a concert, comedy show, and much more…..
Moving right along to Look 3!
Look 3 gives me work, work,
workkkkkk!
Look 3 is perfect for the office and happy hour afterwards.
I paired the Jete jacket with a cobalt blue pencil skirt from Lane Bryant. I love the details in this skirt
I added a smaller gold belt for a few of the pics and just let the jacket hang in some to show how it looks open.
The black shoe tones the look down a bit making it a bit more appropriate for an office setting.
Finally……Look 4!!
Look 4 is simply look 3 with
the jacket turned inside out!
Don’t you just love versatile pieces?
I love it on the black side with the hints of the print peeking out.
Don't be afraid to have fun with your clothes and make it your own!
Your style should be totally
you!
Do you have a piece that you have rocked multiple ways that you love?

| I love this jacket and it's perfect for fall and spring! It's a DKNY jacket that I scored from Nordstrom Rack last year |
 |
| When I first tried this dress on I could not believe how darling it was!!! I was so happy to get it from Gwynnie Bee and this may be my first purchase from them. It's just too cute to send back. |

 |
| This wool vest is NOT my typical style. I can honestly say that I would not have purchased this if I saw it in the store. |
 |
| Thanks to Gwynnie Bee, I got it and loved it! Did some mixing prints here with my Pixie pants from Old Navy. |
 |
| I believe in a good heel and a good flat! You never know what your day may bring, so being prepared is the way to go. |
 |
| Here is somehting else I would not purchase if I was in the store but loved when I received it from Gwynnie Bee. This striped shirt turned out to work just fine with my pencil skirt. |
 |
| Having some fun! lol!! |
 |
| This shirt is pretty boxy so I paired it with a waist belt to add a little shape to it. Worked fine to me. |
As I mentioned above, I had the pleasure of seeing some of Gwynnie's Bee's latest arrivals with a cocktail hour that they hosted in Chicago. Here's a picture from their blog featuring me!!!
