Camo Dress for $3
Attention getting title? A couple weeks ago, I received an email from Kohls with a $5 giftcard coupon for my birthday. I do not shop often at Kohls but if I do, I typically look at the clearance section. Coupon in hand, that is what I did: my goal was to find something interesting for a low price so I would not be much out of pocket.
To my pleasant surprise, I found this cute shirt dress in the Juniors clearance section for $8. I wasn’t sure it would work as it was size small and I usually size up one or two in juniors but I tried it on with a few other items. I was so glad when it worked out: $3 out of pocket!
I wore it the following day running errands and driving to our weekend rental in Ellijay, GA. I always forget how short of a drive it is to go to the North Georgia mountains. While the decks could have used some updates, the house we rented was really cute and decorated in farmhouse style. We got a couple of ideas for our house.
I have never seen so many deer in a weekend: they came to our yard and about each time we rode our car we would see groups of them. I paired the dress with these casual white sneakers and wore the belt that came with it. I could switch the belt for a white one or wear it without one. I can see this dress work for fall and winter with leggings, boots and a layer. Definitely a great buy!
I love this pretty door! It’s a nice background contrast. I always enjoy time away from the house but I always love coming back home. I am always a little tired from our vacations whether they are a week long or a weekend long. It is just easier to be home with our own beds, entertainment and outdoor space. We also spend less money on food. Now that birthdays are over for another month and half (we had 3 birthdays and an anniversary within 2 weeks) I plan to refocus and reset! I have lost my way again this past month with my budget and how I spend my time. I need a little more creativity in the kitchen and I need to get back on track with exercising too. The past month included family visiting, me babysitting my niece for a a week and I have been frazzled and out of whack. It’s been fun but now it’s time to plan my days better, make sure to plan chores, meals, exercise but also not forget to include my prayer time and me time. I haven’t done that in a month I feel like!

That is a great find! You can not beat $3 and I can see how this would transition well to fall.

Thanks, Jennifer. It so comfortable and a really good length: short but not too short!
Ellie
What a great buy this dress was! The lengths is so perfect on you! I too don’t shop too often at Kohl’s anymore, but I used to and always found great deals in the clearance department. Maybe why I quit going because I’d always add more clothes to my closet that I didn’t really need!

I really never shop there but for so little I don’t mind taking a look!

I really like this dress on you! And, what a deal! I’m not sure I’ve ever shopped that well at Kohl’s! I can see this being one of those pieces that works so many ways…dress, tunic with leggings, duster over jeans…just lots of value for your $3!

I just picked up a pretty scarf for $2 last week with another $5 “gift” from returning something at the Amazon spot in the store.

I also am always glad to be back home. Not that I don’t enjoy to be somewhere else, but for the same reasons. That’s a pretty good bargain!
mimifce
Yes! Traveling is fun but tiring too.

I don’t normally shop there either, but actually just used my $5 coupon last weekend to purchase a Halloween wreath 🙂 Cute look! xo

Good idea: I usually admire their decor on my way to the Amazon drop but always feels likes it is a little pricey. With a coupon, not so bad!

What a great find.

Kohls for the win!! I shop there less than I used to. And JCPenney, is the same. But now and then both stores have some great finds. And this darling dress confirms that. Just adorable. And fits like it was made for you.
I can relate to your expensive birthday/anniversary month. We have 5 birthdays in June and July and our anniversary. It takes my budget months to get back on its feet!! And then comes Christmas.

I have planned well for Christmas this year by putting aside money each month so I should be ok this year. I am about to go back to tracking my spending a lot more closely too to help me have better budgeting goals.

Now that’s my kind of deal Mireille. The funny thing is we were just at Kohls yesterday, and I had a $5 coupon….and I couldn’t find a thing, ugh!!!

You look so good in this dress, I wouldn’t imagine that you paid just $3 for it 🙂

Yes, same happened last weekend with a $2 scarf there!
Maureen
What a great find! This dress is so cute and you look beautiful in it. I hear you too. We don’t go out much aside from mini golf this past Sunday we tend to be homebodies. Thus, lack of OOTD! But It definitely helps keep me stay on routine and also help us save money. I hope your week is off to a great start and happy Tuesday!

We do like to be out and about here: maybe not the kids as much but they do enjoy hikes and such once we are there. Have a great rest of the week!
Laura Bambrick
I do. the same thing at Kohls, but normally end up walking out with something for my daughters. I am so impressed with your camo dress! It is super cute on you!
mimifce
I actually haven’t even looked at kid’s stuff there in years. I always feel they are overpriced.
Mica
That dress is so cute and what a bargain find! the white sneakers are lovely with it 🙂
Sounds like a fun trip too despite being so busy, it does look like a nice place that you stayed at.
Thanks for joining the #WeekdayWearLinkup! Hope you have a good weekend ahead of you. Another busy but fun one here 🙂

jess jannenga

All about planning otherwise we just sit around =)

It was an absolute bargain before you added the coupon, Mireille!! And what a FABULOUS dress. You know how much I love camo so I would have died if I could have bought this so cheap!!
Hugs

I pulled it out to wear with white leggings next week. Going to have fun with this dress!
Michelle
What a great bargain, Mireille! Your getaway looks wonderful. That blue door is so pretty. But I understand how such interruptions to our routine can leave us feeling frazzled. I hope you regain your equilibrium soon.

Once I was back home with no guests =), I felt much better. We have a few more days of family time later this week and then they will go home. It was nice to have a little break in between.
