Animal prints are big right now. For my part, I prefer a bit of fantasy in the execution of these prints. That means this cute sleeveless sweater from Old Navy hits both the trend and my taste perfectly.

The fun zebra print is carried out in soft ivory and a pretty brick red that will look great in the spring and summer sun. It’s machine washable 100% cotton, so it’s easy care and will breathe on days when the heat means you barely can. Pair it with jeans, a pretty skirt, or a flirty pair of capris to finish the look.

Originally priced at just $26.50, it’s been marked down to a remarkable $16.99!

I’m not usually a fan of the hoodie, but this fabulous, elegant cashmere one from The Gap might just change my mind.

It comes in four classic colors and petite and tall sizes as well as regular. It’s the details, though, that really make it. The button closure is off-center, the beautifully proportioned shawl collar turns into the hood, and the whole cut is designed to flatter.

Best of all, it’s original price of $128.00 has been slashed down to $99.99.

A good mock turtleneck sweater is a staple of any good wardrobe. If you’re missing such a basic piece, head on over to Coldwater Creek and take a look at this pretty, silk-blend one available in two lovely colors: Cherry Wine and Dark Orchid.

Regularly priced at a reasonable $49.50, it’s now marked down to a superfantastic $19.99. You could have a hard time finding a similar all-cotton turtleneck for less, so why pass on warm, soft, fabulous silk at this price?

There’s nothing like a cosy, soft sweater on a cold afternoon or night. This pretty one from The Gap will look fantastic whether you’re headed to a tailgate party or out on the town for a nice dinner.

Pretty lines and easy care combine for a comfortable and practical piece to add to your wardrobe. It comes in four attractive colors to fit both your taste and your skin tone, as well. Originally priced at $49.50, it’s been marked down to a thrifty $24.99.
