I took a trip to Kohl's over the weekend to check out the President's Day sales (sorry for posting this after the fact) but these gold-star clearance finds aren't going anywhere fast, if my store was any indication. Tis the season for rack after tightly-packed rack of clearance clothing. I could barely squeeze through the aisles to scope out the goods, and snap photos of these pieces-with-potential. Some highlights include a French phrase applique sweater by ELLE (pair it with a leather circle skirt, black tights and ankle boots for a cute going out look), some fun message tees (perfect with skinny jeans, a blazer and heels), these cozy leopard cardigans as well as these shaggy leopard cardigans (either would look great with black leggings or jeans, flat boots and a beanie) and this cool drop shoulder sweater. In the non-clearance section, I really liked this LC Lauren Conrad striped longsleeve tee for spring and these edgy Simply Vera Vera Wang ankle booties. I left empty handed because sometimes digging through clearance racks just gets frustrating and you realize you don't really need another embellished sweater. But don't let that stop you!
