Sale Items 50% Off at Charlotte Russe
The Deal: All Sale Items 50% Off at CharlotteRusse.com
The Lowdown: It’s been a while since we’ve seen much in the way of sales at Charlotte Russe, but since the prices are really reasonable, we don’t usually complain too much. Still, we’re always happy to save more (particularly when we know the quality isn’t exactly job one), so half off sale items sounds good to us.
Fit can be an issue at Charlotte Russe (and of course their range of sizes is woefully limited), we’d avoid the pants—but for the top half, we found some items that will actually work both now and into the next season like this bold color patch dress, $14.49. And looking ahead on the footwear front, we’re thinking a pair of, oh, purple python stilettos might just be the perfect way to bridge the seasons—seriously, why not?—for just $11.49 (assuming you can navigate safely through all those pesky thaw puddles).

Up to 80% off at the Bluefly Semi Annual Blue Sale
The Deal: Save up to 80% at the Semi Annual Blue Sale at Bluefly.com
The Lowdown: Let’s get one thing straight—at Bluefly you’ll always find big discounts on designer goods, which is why we’ve got in our top ten bookmark rotation. Discounts, of course, mean just that—lower prices, but not necessarily cheap. The flip side, of course, is that you’re getting, in most cases, high quality designer goods for much less than retail prices.
Most of us budget-savvy shoppers avoid designer denim like the plague—not because we wouldn’t love a pair but because the prices are usually enough to make us, well, sick. So we’d suggest you peruse Bluefly’s selection, because you’ll find stuff like this pair of Paper Denim & Cloth straight leg jeans on sale, for just $49.99 (4). Make it an entire outfit with a fab designer top—like this Design History stretch knit empire waist tunic for $51.99 (3) or this Design History plum merino wool top, $66.99 (2).
Top it off with something that could become a signature piece, like this Robert Rodriguez tweed cropped jacket, on sale for $241.99 (1) (hey, we said it would be a signature piece, which means it might also be an investment piece, but only if your bottom line can take the hit).

Shop Banana Republic’s Workwear Event
The Deal: Save up to 30% off select styles during the Modern Workwear Event at Banana Republic
The Lowdown: We talk a lot about sprucing up the basics you already have as way to stay up-to-date on a budget, but let’s face it—every now and again, those basics need replacing too. So with 30% off workwear at Banana Republic, now is the time to evaluate what you’re ready to update (and don’t forget to donate your old pieces to someplace like Goodwill).
The key—stick with needs and not wants. You might gravitate towards that cool mandarin-collar jacket (and it is pretty chic) but if what you really need is a basic black blazer, the more classic choice would be this black jacket for $138.50. Pair it with this lightweight wool A-line skirt for $55.30, add a great colored blouse that you already own, and you’re set for a couple seasons to come ...

BOGO on Spring Jewelry and 20% Off Watches at New York & Company
The Deal: Buy 1 Get 1 at 50% Off New Spring Jewelry at New York & Company
The Lowdown: Spring, eh? Hmmm, well while we’re still just barely recovered from the whole holiday shopping insanity, not to mention still figuring out how to fend off the arctic chill, we’re hardly in a mind for spring. But then again, maybe that’s just what we need—something to look forward to, and jewelry? Well, we’re never against a fab accessory or two, particularly in a BOGO sale from one of our go-to retailers.
So what constitutes this “Spring” jewelry at New York & Company? Chunky beads, pale hues, and lots of silver—like this City Style Tiger Eye Bubble Necklace, $16.95, and this City Style Abstract Butterfly Necklace, $22.95. Still not sure you’re quite ready for a giant butterfly dangling from your neck? Maybe a new watch is more what you need, at 20% off right now as well (the selection’s not huge, but we kinda love this pretty City Style Heart Watch Charm Bracelet, on sale for $18.36).

Save More at Banana Republic with Code
The Deal: Spend more, save more at Banana Republic with code SAVEMORE. Offer ends today.
The Lowdown: Of course, retailers always want you to spend more, but in this case there’s an actual benefit of sorts—the more you spend at Banana Republic through today, the higher percentage discount you’ll get. Take 15% off when you spend $125; 20% off when you spend $200; and a full 25% off when you spend $250. Our advice? Don’t spend more than you normally would just to get the 25% (or if you’re going to, take a moment and do the math to see where you’ll get you’re best deal).
The winter sales, of course, have been on for awhile, so size and selection is limited but we always start there anyway—particularly for those hard-to-find sizes (petite and tall). Tall girls might consider some sale dresses (since you know the hems will actually reach your knees instead of making you look like a preschooler)—we like this gorgeous silk georgette dress, on sale for $89.99, and this versatile button tab knit dress, $39.99. Petite’s might consider a pair of properly-proportioned pants, like these jackson flannel wide leg pant (yes, petite girls can wear wide-leg as long as they’re cut right!) for $44.99.
Save on Plus Size at Lane Bryant’s Cacique Semi-Annual Sale
The Deal: Save on undergarments and sleepwear for plus size girls at the Cacique Semi-Annual Intimates Sale
The Lowdown: Cacique is one of our favorite budget undergarments line for full-figured women, particularly when we can pick up pieces on sale (seriously, we know that larger sizes require a little more fabric, but the regular prices are more, er, inflated than they should be). Shop the semi-annual sale at Lane Bryant and get 2 bras free when you buy two; get five pairs of panties for $25; and find plus size sleepwear for just $12.99.
While the sleepwear is a good deal if you really need something new, we’re all about focusing on the bras here (after all, a good foundation garment can make or break an outfit): the smooth Balconette bra, for example, may not be exciting but it will be invisible under a smooth tee or satin top, and this Lace Plunge Bra is a good choice for those deeper v necklines (and if you’ve got it, might as well show it off). And if you, like most curvy girls, would like a little more support in the form of wider shoulder straps (but in a bra that does NOT look like an ace bandage), we’d pick this Bali Seductive Curves bra.

Filene’s Basement Winter Clearance Plus 20% Off With Coupon
“THIS DEAL HAS ENDED”
The Deal: Winter Clearance Sale, plus 20% off with printable coupon at Filene’s Basement
The Lowdown: Clearance, printable coupon, Filene’s Basement—we feel a cashmere sweater or two in our very near future. Because, if you’re a fan of Filene’s, you know that’s one of the things they do best. There’s also the designer jeans, handbags, and designer suits . . . well, you get the idea.
Of course, all that is assuming you don’t mind doing the required digging to find the deals. A tip: don’t go in with a very specific item in mind—instead think in general categories—and block out enough time to excavate, er, browse. And you will have to shop Filene’s hands-on, as there’s no online shopping (yeah, Angela is still spending all her free time campaigning for a Filene’s in St. Louis). To see if there’s a store near you, visit Filene’s website here.

The Lowdown: Today’s the last day to save an extra 15% at Banana Republic with this coupon code. Make the most of the deal by picking up something that’s already on sale, so the “extra” 15% truly is the hot deal it should be.
We talk a lot about workwear at BR, but as we’re scanning the sales, we’re thinking that this time around picking up a dress or two might be your best bet—after the holiday dress season, there are some big markdowns worth looking at on timeless styles, like this Belted Asymmetrical Dress for $54.99 (regularly $175), this BR Monogram Silk Tiered Dress
for $94.99 (regularly $225), and this Starburst Dress,
$74.99 (regularly $150). Pick one up with an extra 15% off now, and stash it for next year’s holiday party circuit . . .
