I accepted the $100 Style Challenge from Burlington Coat Factory this past weekend and headed to the closest store to find an outfit perfect for a holiday occasion. Since I’m literal, I was on the hunt for a red dress and I scored this pretty red wine colored sweater dress, the BB Dakota camel-colored coat and grey Guess mary-janes that I thought created a cozy, holiday look perfect for my family’s laidback gatherings.
And for the giveaway: by commenting, you’ll automatically be entered into the $100 gift card giveaway, but additional entries are available through liking Burlington on Facebook or following on Twitter. There are up to three entries per person. Please leave separate comments for each entry. The giveaway ends on Tuesday, January 3, 2012! Good luck!
[BB Dakota coat $39.99, knit sweater $14.99 and Guess mary-janes $39.99 total: $84.97 c/o Burlington Coat Factory, thigh highs from American Apparel, watch by Fossil, sunglasses by Banana Republic, ring c/o Poshlocket, beaded bracelet c/o 31 Bits, clutch by Tylie Malibu]
Photos by Becky Johns who interestingly enough works for an agency whose client is Burlington Coat Factory. It only made sense she took these particular photos. Thanks, Becky!
