Weekend sales and deals for fall 2014

This is the perfect time to shop for the fall season. The last model has stepped off the runway in New York, leaving us with a sneak peek into what will be hot, and what will not be hot, for 2015. With this powerful knowledge, we can shop intelligently for the current season and invest in pieces which will carry us into 2015 and transition easily into spring 2015. Love that!

Without further adieu, here are a few fabulous sales and deals for the weekend! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Casual printed sweatpants

I love wearing pants on casual days, but I don’t always want to wear jeans. Therefore, I love the current “sweatpants” or “track pant” trend from the New York runways right now. Although these pants are classified as sweatpants or track pants, they are nothing like what a typical, sporting pair of sweatpants would normally look or feel like.

The current sweatpants on the market are made from the same fabrications found on trousers and slim pants. The construction of the pants is loose, but not too loose, with an elastic waistband and elastic around the ankles. This gives the pants drape and makes them extremely comfortable around the waist. I have decided these are the perfect pants to wear to a buffet! 😉

Hopefully the “sweatpants” trend continues into 2015. They did appear on the fall/winter 2014/2015 runways in New York, so that is a good sign that we will continue to see the style into next year. Fingers crossed they appear on the spring/summer 2015 runways too!

Have you tried out the current sweatpants trend? What do you think of them?
