I saw this Satin Trim Shirtdress at Dress Barn* in both chocolate brown and black the other day while wandering the Outlet shops and fell in love. The ribbon detail. The pleats. The rhinestone buttons. Chic yet professional, no?

However, in true Lys fashion, I talked myself out of it thinking "hmmm... Lys, you already have a killer brown dress from Kiyonna. Remember? And you don't need another black dress." Off hand, I want to say the dress at Dress Barn was $69.99 but I could be wrong.

Then, while perusing the racks at Nordstrom I saw it IN TEAL by Robbie Bee (and it's not on their site yet). A bit pricey over the Dress Barn version but still, delish. (And Teal *is* my favorite color so yes, I might actually pay the $99 for it)

Now the peeps over at The Avenue have this dress in in Fall's go-to color - Violet for $88. (Note: Save 15% off and use coupon code AV81185 through Thursday, July 17, 2008)

Finally, as we profiled before, Jessica London has the same style dress in a chartreuse green as well. (Note: Try to get 50% off with the coupon code JLW4329 by July 11, 2008)

OK Ok OK! I get it - Hey Universe, I'll be picking it up for Philly and double thanks for the color and price point options. What color do you think is hot?

*Dress Barn Woman does not have shopping online so I had to use the Avenue photo for display.

Well quasi budget but still.. Tim Gunn's Guide to Style (Thanks Michelle!) states that every woman needs a basic trench. As I live in Florida, I have been on the fence about "to buy or not to buy". I mean, c'mon - I wear a jacket maybe a month out of the year unless I travel and it's always my gorgeous bronze leather coat from Terry Lewis (I know I know - Home Shopping HUH? But seriously, this woman rocks the leather and for a plus size gal to have a jacket that is so well made and classic - love it). Not to mention I did just purchase another leather jacket for future up north excursions.

Well, when Reese & I were in Philly, I encountered "THE TRENCH". You know when you fall in love at first sight and it's a mutual thing - The Trench was eyeing me, I was eyeing it and it was a tango of sorts. However, my finances wrestled my conscience and *sigh* it was not to be. The factoring decision: I live in Florida - what the heck do I need a trench for?

Again, need for a trench kept taunting me - from Tim Gunn's new show, to encountering a gorgeous sateen trench at Ashley Stewart to Igigi rockin' their trench, but would I really pay $99 for a coat I could get not much use out of. Again, the wallet spoke and the answer was "NO". (Actually the wallet told me to buy some shoes but again, later post).

This weekend, in cleaning out the wallet I found a gift card from Lane Bryant for $63 for a return I did some time ago of their city shorts (we'll get into the wonky sizing in another post). The Trench resurfaced in my thoughts again and I figured, "eeehh.. let me go look at it on the site". I couldn't see it in person because the Florida stores didn't see themselves getting it until December or so and that doesn't help me. Well, apparently Karma (or Tim Gunn) was on my heels because as I clicked into the site, I saw it was on sale - for $69.95. Now, y'all know me - I do not do any online shopping without a coupon or cash back (or both). I quickly put it in my cart as they had my size left in black and went to scour the net for some Lane Bryant Coupons. I found one for 20% off and quickly went through Mr. Rebates to check out.

Cost of The Trench after applying coupons, shipping, tax, and gift card: $5.80

Cash back total: $1.67

Overall Total Cost: $4.13

Cheaper than my Pumpkin Spice Latte (and just as toasty)...

Not bad - not bad at all!
