My Kohl's End-of-Year Clearance Sale Haul


All too often, I post my purchases on Instagram and they never make it to the blog, so today I thought I'd take a quick moment to share my latest purchases from Kohl's, which is having a huge end-of-year clearance sale right now through Tuesday. I wanted to use up my Kohl's cash before it expires tomorrow, but because of the steep discounts, and I ended up with Kohl's cash left over! On this trip, I picked up an LC Lauren Conrad velvet blazer for $11.10 (down rom $74), an LC Lauren Conrad polka dot blazer for $10.50 (down from $70) and an Apt. 9 sequin jacket for $28.12 (down from $125). My sister's wedding is less than 2 weeks away and I still haven't figured out what I'm wearing to her bridal shower or the rehearsal dinner, but now I have some options: I can winterize a dress I already own by topping it with the velvet blazer, and I can toss on the sequin jacket with a blouse, skinny jeans and pumps for another festive party look that will work in Chicago's frigid January weather.

If you have Kohl's cash that expires, don't forget to use it today or tomorrow in stores or online. One reader told me Kohl's will accept expired Kohl's cash - does anyone else have experience with this? I hope it's true!

Another tip for extra savings: Use your coupons! Get an extra 15% off everything with code CHEERS online at kohls.com OR print your savings pass to use in stores OR download the Coupon Sherpa mobile app and simply show the cashier your coupon on your smartphone (that's what I did).
