Dana Buchman: From Mannequin to Me!


I love starting a new school year with a few new looks just
to make me feel fresh and special!  That
is why I spend time in July with sales, resale shops, and thrift shops. 
Last Friday was one of those days when KOHLS will allow the
customer to stack coupons…so I had a coupon for 20% off, another one for 15%
additional to pick your day for a sale, a $10 off coupon from the newspaper, and
another $10 off coupon because we live near a KOHLS which was recently
remodeled and they gave an incentive to come in and check it out!   With all of that…they are practically paying
me to shop there!  My oldest son and
husband needed some unmentionables, and with all of this it made sense to purchase mass
quantities of coffee for our Keurig coffeemaker, a few items for the upcoming
newlyweds, and, of course, I just had to find something for me…to reward me for my
shopping skills, of course!
I strolled by a mannequin dressed similar to this: 
 And immediately thought of my red denim!  The Dana Buchman Floral Sequin Top was only $18 after all
of the coupons kicked in!!
I recently purchased this thin, classic jacket on top at CHICO’S (of course with coupons) and I love it for summer heat! The bracelet was another coupon stacking event at Stein Mart.  Always check out your sales to see exactly
how much mileage you can get!  You just never know how low they will go!

  1. I love that tank. I don't usually shop at Kohl's but I would stop in to our local store to have a look at that tank.

    I bet it would look great with a black jacket too for an evening look.

    Good job using all your coupons! You are so savvy!

  2. wow you could be on the coupon show

  3. As always, you're looking very smart, Pam. I can't believe it is back to school time for you. My son is a teacher in Massachusetts and he, too, returns next Monday. In NY, school starts in September. So we are in "high summer" right now. And I do like Dana Buchman. I talked my fashion shy friend into a few Dana B. things and she was delighted.

  4. Well Pam, you do look fresh and lovely and ready for a new school year. You are so smart and wise to do the coupon shopping you do. You are my inspiration! Hope you have a great school year.
