As I mentioned Monday, Lane Bryant is offering their online customers 25% off with the code 000252232. I've rounded up some of my current favs from the LB so let's take a look.
Corduroy blazer
I picked this up in the "turtle green" color. It has enough stretch to fit really well on me and I have such a hard time finding jackets that work for both my shoulders and hips. I think it'll be cute layered with other neutral colors and jeans. I like that it hits at the hip and isn’t too long. A long, boxy, corduroy blazer isn’t super flattering on… well, anyone. This one is cut very nicely.
Boyfriend jean
I know there are plenty of you out there who stay far, far away from denim trends, especially trends that involve pre-destroyed fabric. But, like them or not, this baggy, worn in style is very much the thing right now. I don't see it being the thing for very long so you might as well get them on sale. Right now, you’ll wear them rolled up like you see in the picture with heels or metallic flats. You can roll them down and wear them with sandals in the spring. The key with the whole boyfriend trend is to look like you kind of just ended up in those clothes. If you look like you’re trying to look casual and disheveled, it won’t work. Good luck!
Keyhole ponte knit dress
I don't own this dress and I never will because I have absolutely nowhere to wear it BUT I think it's really cute and retro in a chic way. I love that color, the length, the cutout detail at the neck. Super cute.
Hooded peacoat
I don't mean to alarm you but for many of us, it's going to be coat weather soon. If you're in need of a new winter coat and you want the best selection to choose from, start looking soon and then snatch one up when you have a coupon. I have a wool peacoat like this one (without a hood) from Lane Bryant that I picked up a few years ago and it's going strong. I treat it nicely and it keeps me toasty warm.
Lace trim cami
I
have this in turquoise. I picked it up because I'm a bit of a cami
collector and I don't have any with a lot of lace detail. I like to let
the lace peek out from under a V neck top or cardigan. These run on the
big side so if you’re between sizes, go down a size. Just please pick one up in a pretty color and not black. You have enough black!
I love that dress! I think it's totally work appropriate with a blazer or cardi and a belt.

I love the blazer and almost bought it, but the sleeves were a little too long on me.
