Dress Up for Less at JC Penny

Forget about the classic little black dress, if you want to get the most bang for your buck this holiday season, invest in stylish separates that can be mixed with other pieces. This  Worthington Jeweled Crewneck Sweater looks fancy when paired with this ornately patterned pencil skirt. Or pair the blinged out sweater with some skinny jeans in a fun color like teal or plum and the top takes on a more casual fashion forward look.

This richly patterned Worthington High-Waist Pencil Skirt looks black and white in the picture, but when I saw it at the JC Penny store it's actually a silver and black with a subtle satiny texture. A pattern this ornate demands center stage so wear it with a solid color top with dressy details, like in the top picture. Or wear it with plain knee high black boots and a simple top with no embellishment for a more casual yet sophisticated look.

When I saw this Worthington Tuxedo Jacket at JC Penny I envisioned stylish chics climbing the corporate ladder in this simply chic jacket and tailored pants. But when I read the tuxedo part of the title I saw the possibilities for this to be an evening look. With a shiny satin top and dressy pencil skirt this could work easily for evening. The design details, buttons at wrists, faux leather accents, blend in so well, that this design easily adapts to different looks from posh evening looks to polished and professional office style.
