Love the 12 tops you see above? Believe it or not, they're all from JCPenney! (And I mean that in the best way possible!) Yes, JCP is bringing their A-Game for spring, and I thought it would be fun to round up 12 of my favorite off-the-shoulder tops because, really, I couldn't narrow it down to just one or two.

From floral to chambray, ruffled to structured, you name it, they've got it all. Pair your off-the-shoulder top with white denim and tassel earrings (I ordered this pair) and you've got the "it" look of the season.

It gets better: All my picks are under $30! And you can save 25% with code 8FORYOU thru 3/26 during the Friends & Family Sale in store and online!

Off the Rack: What to Buy at JCPenney This Spring

a.n.a. lace tops for spring
In yesterday's post I shared the perfect parka I picked up this past weekend at JCPenney, and today I'm sharing photos of the new spring styles I spotted in store! While I've read recent reports that JCPenney is closing up to 140 stores, I'm happy to report that their spring fashion game is seriously strong and worth checking out.

My favorite pick has to be this peplum hem top ($19.99 ) which looks so good in any of the five available prints - stripes or florals, you can't go wrong! I'd style the top with white jeans and cognac accessories (like this).

This bomber jacket also looks lovely and grown-up (some bombers are too trendy for me I guess!) and a steal at just $39.99.

These Gucci-inspired rose embroidered jeans are also on-point for spring, and just $29.99. The detailing looks really good in real life as you'll see in my photo below. There's also a flirty off-the-shoulder rose embroidered chambray dress for just $34.99.

Finally, this lace blouse by Worthington (shown above) looks absolutely gorgeous in real life - it's definitely a showstopper for your Instagram feed, but also totally wearable in real life. Both the blush pink and white are great options for spring and at just $24.99, you might be tempted to get both!

So, those are just a few of the things I'm loving at JCPenney this spring - check out my photos below to see everything I thought was noteworthy!

Must Have: Winter Parka Under $100

Coat // Shirt (similar) // Boots (similar)


Although we're heading into spring, now is still the perfect time to buy a winter coat at a major discount. One style that won't go out of style anytime soon is the classic parka. I was looking for an olive one for a while now and found this amazing a.n.a. parka on clearance at JCPenney this weekend! It features faux fur trim on the hood and super cozy hand cuffs, plus a cinchable waist to give it some more shape. For reference I'm wearing a size large and I'm 5'8". This parka is just $59.99 and I paid $54 at the register with an additional 15% off applied.

Yesterday temperatures dipped into the teens here in Connecticut so I was actually excited to put my new coat to the test, and let me tell you, it kept me toasty warm with just a plaid shirt underneath (similar) and my leather riding boots (similar)! This isn't a sponsored post or anything, I was just really excited to share this jacket with you guys and my Instagram photo doesn't do it justice, so I forced my dear husband to snap these photos so you can see how good it looks (or at least how good I think it looks!) Snag one for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
