Fall 2006 What to Buy: JC Penney

Just wondering…..why you do not like JCP? Not that I’m a fan either….I have a hard time finding things to fit me….at size 14, I find being bumped up several sizes to find decent clothes is just maddening, and the selection is not that great.

But these things look cute…..

I haven’t shopped at Penney’s in years, but just a few weeks ago I saw a pair of a.n.a. brown flat knee-high boots featured in InStyle magazine. I bought them (they were on sale for $80, plus had a free shipping code!) and I love them.

These shoes are totally amazing! Well worth it at twice the price!

I took some time to look around their website. I saw some great things there. I believe a true fashionista can work with what she’s given and make the truly mundane into something truly fabulous. JCP doesn’t sell the attitude to make it work….you know?. I will definately keep them on my list for work clothes.

A bit of a differing opinion here, but I like our local JCP. True, the selection is a lot more limited than it might seem (there are a lot of clothes and styles, but very few that are actually flattering on me), but I’ve found some amazing clothes for cheap, there. My current fave is a knee-length, flared denim skirt from their Bisou Bisou line. It looks amazing on me, is ultra-stylish (looks like some trendy designer piece), and just one of my favorite items of clothing, ever (probably because it’s really comfortable too). Plus, it was very inexpensive (on sale). Don’t pass up Penneys … you’d be surprised at what you might find.

I really like the Nicole by Nicole Miller line at JCP.  My favorite top right now, a sheer ivory short-sleeved blouse with a silky cami is from her line at JCP.

JCP has some fantastic fashions at way affordable prices. I’ve been buying there for several years.  I got a Nicole Miller outfit there that was right off the runway and paid about $75 for the 3 pieces. I took 2 unbelieving very fashion conscious girlfriends there over this past weekend and they snatched up everything in sight.  We even got 2 beautiful ankle length Bisou Bisou denim skirts for $23 each because they had on BOGO for a penny sale going on!!! JCP is the bomb!
