Oui, Oui and Chambray with Leopard!

I have wanted this CAbi French Trench Redux for 2 years! It was featured during the fall season of the first ever CAbi party I hosted and I loved it - it was $168, so I passed.  This weekend I had the chance to go to a CAbi outlet store!  A dream for me!  It was so fun to look through the past few seasons and try on things I had longed for and missed.  With CAbi, once the season's over, it's GONE!  I was lucky enough to find this trench for $50!  And we bought Maggie the Lean Trousers that are to die for adorable on her! And the Shawl Hoodie that she had wanted since our first party! Yay for success!  I have this jacket styled a million ways in my head, and since it's a tight weave, sweater material, you can leave it on all day!  

Here is my Parisian Chic look!

Tneck: Target

  2. Oooh you look so very French. Love it! It almost looks like you could wear it as a dress too. :) And of course I always love chambray and leopard. It's hard to believe thatvi didn't even own any chambray before I started blogging. :) And only one pair of leopard shoes. :)

  3. Hi Peggy! Just hopping around and saw your blog! Love that you're a fashion mommy! Too often I feel like I'm in comfy clothes more than 'cute' clothes and need to change that. Love the leopard scarf and your dresses down below!
