Hello again :) So here in New Jersey, where I call home, the cold weather is slowly creeping in. In my opinion, we've had great weather so far. It's already November and I haven't broken out a coat yet - just some little leather bombers, jean jackets, etc. But winter
is coming (in NJ and in GOT;) and it is
not my favorite season when it comes to fashion. I think it to be that because I'm so small (only 5 feet, people!) I get lost all covered up in heavy clothing. Pants are also the hardest thing for me to shop for. I don't even bother trying something on or ordering online unless its petite sized! Summer is soo much easier with shorts, skirts, floaty dresses and rompers! Anyways, as a result, I really don't have much of a "winter wardrobe" and I usually spend most of the season having nothing to wear. I decided to change things this year though! Once September hit, I did not allow myself to purchase anything unless it was cold weather wear. I also didn't want to spend loads of money on a just a few pieces (another grievance I find with winter wear) so I hit up all my fav spots I knew I'd get a good deal. And that I did! I present to you 17 fall/winter tops for a whopping total of $415. That comes out to $24.41 a piece...not bad, if you ask me :) Most of the stuff is every day/work wear and a few of the pieces can be dressed up a bit fancier. I also threw in a few other purchases I made that I thought were great deals for fall/winter.
fyi, I just took some quick snaps here of the pieces hanging, so you aren't really getting the full grasp on how fantastic some of them are...check me out on Instagram: Gs_Spot_Blog where I'll post my outfits so you can see how I style the pieces!
The following tops are from Tobi which is an online shop. They have 50% off everything sales fairly regularly, so I never purchase anything at regular price (they always restock too, so I don't worry about things selling out). Also, the quality is just decent - even if something is really cute, it's usually never worth the price they originally list it at. All the prices listed are the 50% off price I paid.

| $34 |
 |
| nice baggy comfy fit - perfect with leggings (btw, I got those flats from Aldo for $10!!!) |
 |
| $24 |
 |
| $28 |
 |
| $32 |
 |
| $31 - this pic does nothing for it, but I am obsessed with this sweater! shoulder cutouts are such a sexy way to show some skin when it's freezing out haha |
 |
| $18 each, basic little cadigans |
Next up are 3 sweaters I just received last week from Nasty Gal, another online shop. They were already on sale PLUS I used a 25% off coupon code that was available for a few days. I love Nasty Gals clothing, but they are pretty over priced in my opinion!
 |
| $30 |
 |
| $40 - love this sweater, it's a big cozy oversized sweater wrap, perfect for lazy days |
 |
$40 - another sexy shoulder and back cutout sweater. this def needs to be seen on to get to the full effect!
|
The next 3 are from Zara that I actually got when they had their end of summer sale which was strange. I didn't really want to be buying bulky sweaters when it was still 80 degrees out, but I couldn't pass up such amazing prices...they were each only $15 !!!
 |
| here is the sweater below how I wore it recently with some ripped jeans (target $25) and a statement necklace. Also, I didn't get a pic of just the boots, but these are the only shoes I've purchased so far for the season and I looove them. They are Nine West, purchased from DSW for $130. |
Next up are 3 tops I got from TJ Maxx. I love TJ Maxx and don't think I have ever walked out of that store empty handed!
 |
| $13 - oxblood, looove this color |
 |
| $17 - this one also has really cute buttons going down the back |
 |
| $15 |
And lastly, rounding out the $415 total is a cute vest from Urban Outfitters. UO is another store I love but find everything to be wayyy over priced. I also find that nearly everything I buy goes on sale, so now I don't really purchase from there unless I am obsessed with a piece or it's off the sale rack :)
 |
| $30 |
And I just want to add a few more things I purchased for the season at great prices! (these are not included in $415 total)
 |
| $17 from TJ Maxx, faux leather look. perfect for a night out, i'm thinking with big earrings, dark skinny jeans and stiletto leather boots, meow! |
 |
| a great everyday parka, in a color i'm loving for winter, oxblood! i bought this from asos (petite) on sale in August! again, the last thing i wanted to spend my money on in the summer was a jacket, but I loved the coat and knew if i didn't nab it then i'd end up paying $200 for one in November! purchased for $65 |
 |
| some lovely little scarfs from Tobi, $8 each (purchased at 50% off) |
 |
| my everyday bag for fall from H&M for $25 |
So that's all for now! I hope you enjoyed that post and are inspired to go out and find some great deals :) Looking cute in the fall and winter does not mean having to spend loads of money! Next, I'm on the hunt for bottoms and shoes - hopefully a post coming on that soon!
