Sweaters have been on my mind, if you haven’t noticed!  I’ve been searching all over to get my hands on a sweater dress, or at least a tunic sweater to wear with my leggings & new flat boots.  During a spur-of-the-moment trip to Forever 21, I came across this super adorable, semi-preppy looking knit striped tunic sweater in black & white ($13.50).  The price was perfect & I just had to try it on. All my friends know that I’m very pro black & white & when I found that it fit & would look perfect with my leggings, I knew it was a must-have!

The tunic also comes in charcoal & black, red & black, chocolate & khaki, & heather gray & black, in sizes Small, Medium, & Large. I know Forever 21 is not a store for everybody.  I think the brand needs to expand on their available of sizes for us Style Darlings with curves, but when you find something like this, it’s so hard to pass up.

Even though Payless doesn’t have a big BOGO 50% off sale now, many of their latest boot styles are marked down.  These ‘Sayde Anne’ short shaft boots ($19.99) were originally priced for $34.99.  I bought them during the BOGO 60% off sale on Columbus Day, but went back to get an adjustment since there was about a $15.00 price difference.  Since I didn’t necessarily need the boots right away, I could’ve just returned them at the store if they wouldn’t do an adjustment & then bought them online with FREE SHIPPING to any Payless store location.  Always gotta find a way to beat the system all in the name of style!

I’m planning on wearing this tunic with basic black leggings (which I recently blogged about also), the gray flat boots, & some kind of wide belt to show off my shape.  I’ve been invited to a friend’s house for a “comfy snuggle night,” where we’ll enjoy some karaoke, a movie, appetizers, & desserts.  When it comes to comfy, I automatically think of something with leggings that won’t make me feel so constricted. If & when I’m able to post pictures of myself in the actual outfits that I’m talking so much about, this will make for a great post in The $100 Challenge b/c the pieces shown above & my leggings for $8.00 from Target only total just under $42!
