What: The lovely leading ladies of “All My Children” will don a wardrobe by New York & Company for the month of March - we predict that the clothes will be more realistic than the plot lines.
From Soaps.com:
“Throughout the month of March, New York & Company will outfit Kendall, Krystal, Erica, Bianca, Reese, Angie, Natalia, Opal, Colby, Amanda…The retailer will take into account each of the character’s jobs and interests. For example, fans won’t see Kendall dressed in the same way that Taylor or Angie would dress.”
What We Say: Seems like daytime drama is pretty in tune with its fashion-forward but frugal female audience. This is definitely a campaign that has no losers - we get some great ideas for new, relatively affordable looks (while learning about scandalous love triangles and evil twins - hey, at least it’s not “Passions”) and New York & Company gets to advertise to its target consumer. Kathryn was able to visit the set of the show (and meet Susan Lucci, who is AMAZING in person.. Kathryn can’t stop gushing), talk with the show’s costume designer and see the fashions on the characters first hand. The result? You won’t be able to tell the difference between the New York & Co fashions and the higher end items they usually wear. Kathryn was a big fan of a khaki green shirt dress, worn by AMC character Krystal Chandler, which goes for $54.95.

The Lowdown: While sales at New York & Company are kind of old hat (not that we’re complaining—they’re kind of a budget fashionista’s best friend), there are some new collections to peruse, in case you haven’t spent enough lately (go balance your checkbook if you must—we’ll wait).
If you’re still sticking to that New Year’s resolution to work out more, you might need some motivation (it is February, after all) in the form of some new workout wear—NY&C has a whole new collection, which happens to be on sale now, which makes us think we should start working out again right now. Maybe. And, if the working out has paid off, you might also want to check out their new swimwear collection. The selection is limited, but with black and leopard tankinis, bikinis, and maillots to choose from, we’re content. On that note, we’re looking for our gym membership card right now . . .

The Deal: Take an extra 50% off redline lowest price at New York & Company
The Lowdown: Another week, another sale at New York and Company. We’re not complaining, just starting to feel like a broken record (scratched CD? Partially downloaded MP3? Suddenly we feel out-dated ...).
Still, we’re particularly fond of the fashion-forward NY&Co Collection, and right now you’ll find redlined items here at an additional 50% off, meaning you can actually step up your it’s-February-and-I’m-totally-sick-of-winter wardrobe, on the cheap. This Cotton Draped Tie Blouse, for example, goes beyond boring basic white (who doesn’t have that covered already?), for just $24.99, and make a budget-yet-chic statement with this Collection Shift Dress with Chiffon Drape, on sale for $29.99. Finally, this Collection Woven Paper Bag Skirt is a good pick if you’re looking to build your bridge wardrobe for the transition to spring, for just $17.49.

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).

The Deal: New York & Company Collection Everything 50% Off - Shop Now
The Lowdown: Even though we’ve been on New York & Company overload, when we clicked over to the NY&C Collection page to view this sale, we were suddenly ready to shop. Again. Maybe we’re just suckers for a pretty website (New York and Company’s is one of the better looking ones out there), but then again, we’ve never been unhappy with the quality. So we guess it’s a win/win.
This sale features the retailer’s special “collection”, and while we’re not sure it differs greatly from whatever else they’re selling, we are sure that the styling is pretty feminine and chic. We had a little trouble narrowing it down, but here’s what we’d pick:
Collection Woven Pencil Skirt, on sale for $32.20
Collection Cinch Waist Blouse, on sale for $33.60
Collection White Tailored Shirt, on sale for $33.60

The Deal: Through Dec. 24, get half off the everything online from New York & Company.
The Lowdown: Lately, New York and Company is going sale crazy. Every week, we get an email from the store, announcing some major sale.
Most of the sales are of the BOGO variety, but this time around? 50% off everything on the site, which always sounds great but quite frankly is only a good deal if there’s stuff worth buying to begin with. At NY&C, that usually translates to building our workwear wardrobe, and so picking up some classic, neutral trousers for half off, (like these 7th Avenue pants, on sale now for less than 20 bucks) is probably a better investment right now than most mutual funds.
We’ve also found some of our favorite budget-friendly, everyday accessories and jewelry here; the selection isn’t huge, but the quality (for the price?) is pretty darn good—meaning, for example, a “silver” ring we purchase here stays looking, well, like actual silver far longer than similarly priced items we’ve picked up from other “budget” retailers . . .
