Hello, hello! Happy Saturday!

Every year, around the Thanksgiving / Christmas time, I style looks with items I bought right … NOW. [I repeat] Now is the time to stock up on great items that you will wear LATER. It’s still hot out, I know. But, when it’s not and you’re really wishing you had the camel colored cowl neck sweater that I’m wearing in a very festive, holiday-esque blog post [and that’s only $20] … you will think back on this post and say ‘I should have listened to Alyson Haley back in AUGUST‘.

I’m bringing this up because, almost every year, in November/December usually, I have people who complain that I’m linking to similar items [that are usually more expensive because it’s all I can find that’s available] rather than the item I’m wearing. When you see I am listing the item as being from Forever21 yet linking to an item that’s more expensive [mind you, they’re always deemed a ‘similar’ item and never the exact item; I’m no con artist and am always honest about things being sold out] … I get it …  it’s frustrating because you know you could have gotten a great deal, but y’all, I don’t hide where I shop. I tell you every year, on some social platform and this year very clearly on the blog, WHEN you should be buying from these more affordable retailers and NOW IS IT! So, have fun! Go crazy! BUY NOW & WEAR LATER. I promise, you’ll thank me later, as well. 🙂 Love y’all lots!

Also, act fast — especially on the plaids. Those are some GOOD plaids. Thanks for stopping by, y’all! Happy Shopping! xo.


With love & sequins,
Haley

    You are so right about getting all the fabulous finds now for Fall. I always shop off season in preparation for when I'll need the items later. So far this summer, I've hit the Nordstrom Anniversary sale in July where I've already purchased a coat, several sweaters, and Ugg boots. In August, I've purchased several fall sweaters, faux fur vests and a cute fall jacket. I've learned the hard way to not wait to shop until I need the items, but to shop ahead to get the best prices and selection. Great post!

    Thanks for letting us know about getting these deals now at a great price! I was wondering what color you are getting everything in? Is it the color you have shown in the picture or the color that you linked to? Thanks so much:)
