Guess where you can find all this?

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I enjoyed lots quality time with my husband's side of the family, and ate some crazy fried goodness at the state fair.  I also owe him a big favor for taking 143 photos of me yesterday for a project that I worked on with LOFT (look to the right for a little sneak peek).

Now, let's play a game!  Guess where you can find all of this cute stuff, most for under $40.

 It's not from Target... this stuff is actually cheaper and just as nicely made if not better.   And in case you're curious, this is not a sponsored post.

It's not Macy's or Dillard's...

Stumped? 

All of this stuff is from JCPenney!  I was shocked, too.  Their new image has taken a little while to build up steam, but now I think that they're going to pull it off.  Yeah, all the people who like to buy weird poly blend tops for 80% off are still going to be pissed off and not shop there anymore, but those of us who know what we like and are willing to pay $30 for it will have lots to be excited about. 

I see some $14 sweaters that look just like the $29 ones at Target, and a dead ringer for my $39.50 express top for $24.  I'll definitely be doing some comparison shopping before I stock up on any more basics this year.  So, if you're looking for a new place to pick up cute stuff, check it out!

P.S. I received no compensation for this post, I just got excited by what I saw in the Fall catalog and thought you'd appreciate the heads up.
