Belk Charity Sale Round 2

Hope  you had a great weekend and are ready to face another week.  To make it a little easier let's talk
more on the Belk Fall Charity Sale today. If you missed round 1 of the sale you can click here.

I'd advise you to beverage up once again today because we have a lot to cover.

First up, this time of year I have one thing on my mind and that is comfy, cozy shirts.  I found a couple that I really liked.

This one reminded me of a baby blanket I used with my kids.  It is super soft and comfortable and I think would look great with a pair of jeans and some smart booties. It also comes in a pretty plum color which Belk had paired with an olive green jacket.......delicious.

Free People Top

I also really liked this cute camo sweatshirt.  It is a junior top so you might consider sizing up

Camo Top

I think the colors in this online photo are a little more vibrant than the colors in person.  I thought the top was a little more muted and could easily be worn by those of us who are not typical camo wearers.

While I was in juniors I also found this little top that I thought was really cute

Living Doll Navy/Mauve

In the grown up department I liked this 

Kaari Blue Cheetah Top

This next one is pricey because it is Eileen Fisher.  But again super soft and I feel like would be a go to piece for Saturday errands but also for putting on when you get home from work. Eileen Fisher Hooded Jacket

Back

Next this is a BCBG Flare Sleeve Dress in spiced wine with the BCBGeneration Long Vest in a black combo. The vest has a split back.  These colors looked great together and with some black boots would be fantastic.

I think we are all going to need a puffer vest this year.  And I really like this one by Calvin Klein.  It is so soft and not too bulky.  Any striped t-shirt would look great under these. It comes in this versatile black

But also in all of these fantastic colors.

We also love the Hue Wide Waistband Leggings ........key word on these "Wide Waistband".  These fit great and most importantly stay up well.  Also if you have a bit of a muffin top, the wide waistband is the perfect little muffin holder 😁 And good news, they made a velvet version this year.

And these textured leopard leggings will be fun for the season as well.  Still black leggings but with a little umph.

Now if you like blanket scarves but find the size overwhelming, these next scarves will give you the look but without the bulk. This is the Steve Madden Classic Square Blanket Wrap

and it comes in several color choices

You know how you need those long necklaces to pull an outfit together well here a couple that I really liked.

Erica Lyons Silver Oval Necklace

Jules B Gold-Tone Necklace

And these earrings......really love

Far left is the Spartina Gold Deco Drama, Top is the Spartina Deco Drama Black Drop Earring and bottom is the Spartina Black Mauve Teardrop.  They are all reasonably priced and I kind of want them all.

Now onto fragrances.  Remember this coupon we talked about

well it is your one chance to get a discount on fragrances and cosmetics.  If you didn't get the coupon you still get extra Belk buck points for cosmetic and fragrances you purchase during the charity sale.

The young lady at the fragrance counter was very knowledgeable and said these are the hot scents for this year

And MAC has this cute set of lipsticks.

And Clinique has this great set of chubby sticks.

Now before you go just a couple of things from the men's department

Ralph Lauren Fleece Vest

William Rast Motorcycle Jacket

William Rast Dean Jean

Again, big thanks to Bridgestreet Belk for all the access to all the deals.  And a Big Thanks to you for hanging in through this whole post.

Hope it is a great week for you.  I will see you back here on Wednesday.

Belk Charity Sale - Round 1

We are taking a quick break from specific gift idea post to talk about the Belk Charity Sale. But don't worry I think you will find a few gift ideas anyway....maybe even gifts for yourself.

And I have great news, ladies, Bridgestreet Belk partnered with me on this blog post so we could see the best the Charity Sale has to offer.  So get yourself a nice cup of coffee, tea or soda and prepare to scroll a while.

We started in the handbag department.  Do you know what the number one handbag sold at the Bridgestreet Belk is?........ Brahmin and with good reason - they are super stylish and the selection is fantastic

There are several displays of the Brahmin bags.  But you know what else is there? Clearance Bags.

Yep these are marked down but will be an additional percentage off.  

But also

Ralph Lauren

And these are Patricia Nash Bags which have beautiful leather.  Keep your eyes open for these styled on mannequins throughout the store.  You can amp up an outfit with one of these.

Now let me show you some specific bags that caught my eye.

Medium Lena

And this is the prettiest plum color

Patricia Nash Distressed Vintage Beaumont

Now lets look at some shoes.  I always admire people in cute little slide ons but I have found several of them to be extremely heavy.  So I tried on quite a few and here are my picks for slide ons:

This is the J. Slides Calina in blush.

The Steve Madden Ecentrcq which comes in four colors.

The Frye Melanie

which comes in several great colors.....see

Now after you find a good slide on....you need a good bootie and I recommend this Latigo Isaac Lace-up

And this Korks Shamira (I couldn't find it online to link to but it is $129)

And if you are feeling super trendy, try this Lucky Bayleah which was perfect with ankle jeans.

How much do we all love and need a good rainboot....well I thought this Sorel Lea Wedge is too cute and the fact that is waterproof....well what can I say

And is case you were not aware, velvet is back with a vengeance.  Apparently we are all going to need a velvet pair of shoes to sport this season so here are a few options.

First up the Madden Girl Carmello which comes in navy and blush.

Or this Ralph Lauren Janis

Ok and I saved the best for last in ladies shoes.  If you have always wanted a pair of Frye boots....Now. Is. Your. Time.  Girls, get yourself a pair of Frye boots while the Charity Sale is going on. This is the Frye Melissa Trapunto and it is beautiful.

Then if you are feeling really sporty, pop on up to men's and get a guy in your life this 

Frye Men's Chukka because it is a good time to get the men a Frye shoe too.

but if you spent too much on yourself, they may like this Nunn Bush Lancaster 😉

I appreciate that you hung in there thru all those photos.  I wanted to get you started on the Charity Sale because you need to get started on your pre-selling.

So now I am going to give some Charity Sale basics.  If you know the drill, read no further, go ahead and get in your car and head to Bridgestreet.  If you don't know the drill, here we go.  For the Charity Sale you buy a $5 ticket but you get five dollars off of your first purchase.  Once you have the ticket you are eligible for the sale prices throughout the store.  Almost everything is included.  There are very few exclusions like Under Armour, Ugg, Michael Kors handbags and there may be a few others.  But trust me more stuff is on sale than not on sale.  Now the actual sale is Saturday, November 4th 6-10 a.m. but you can pre-sell now which means you go in pick out your purchases, give them to the sales person and then go back and pick them up after the sale.  This way you get first pick and secure your size. Win!!!!

And don't forget if you have one of the Belk Elite coupons make sure you use it during Charity sale too. 

This is one of the few opportunities that we can stack coupons so you will be getting extra savings.

This is just the beginning,  I still have women and men's clothing and some fragrances and jewelry to talk about.  I will try to get all of that done this weekend.

Please do you shopping at Bridgestreet Belk if you can, they were extremely generous in letting me scope out items and take countless pictures.  A big thank you to the store manager, Janet Brown and to the ladies department manager, Simin who took me all around....and she was wearing heels.

Make it a great weekend.  Meet you back here on Monday.
