The other day I went to Steve & Barry’s for the first time, where they were having this enormous sale and everything was $8.95 or less. How amazing is that?! What’s even better is that Sarah Jessica Parker’s line, Bitten, has really great jeans that actually fit — they’re the right length and everything, which is a mission when you’re vertically challenged, like me. Anyway, I also found this really cute, short trench, which is also a great fit…and, of course, inexpensive.

I like the combination of a super classy dress with a not-so-dressy trench, and I’m smitten with this simple, black modal dress by 525 America.

Okay, and this is kind of awkward but apparently Carlos Santana is now designing shoes, and they’re pretty sexy. Yes, I just used the name “Santana” and the word “sexy” in the same sentence. Can’t help it, though, because this shoe is really really pretty, and perfect for this outfit.
