Shop Winter Sales for Spring Steals

By now everyone’s heard: Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog, has predicted an early spring. The possibility of an early spring was the only thing people in my area could smile about on Wednesday as they navigated the worst ice conditions in years. When I wasn’t outside slip-sliding around, I was home on the net (we had our 4th “snow day” of winter 2010-11). I noticed two things: 1) online clothing sites are still having impressive sales to unload their fall and winter fashions, and 2) some of the fashions are just right for early spring. Take, for instance, the Jones New York Dress Verona Glass Print Scrunchy Dress (Blue) at the top of the post. Right now the Jones New York dress is reduced from $138 to $59.99.

Below are a few more illustrated examples. At this point, the sizes may be, but not always, limited. You may have to visit a few sites before you find something you like that is available in your size. Still, there's a lot out there. For instance, click on to Ralph Lauren. The famous designer has pages and pages of RL clothing under $100, many of the items ready for spring. The same is true for Calvin Klein. So do check out your favorite online clothing site because you might find some great spring steals for women over 50 in February.

Here's a couple of sale items from Max Studio. Anoraks made a comeback last fall and I'm seeing them again among the spring fashions. Anoraks are very hip and flattering for older women.



BUBBLE ANORAK-M-KHAKI reduced from $198 to $68.


Here's a soft HANKIE LINEN TUNIC-M-IVORY that can be used a coverall for the beach or over jeans, reduced from $98 to $58.





This post would be much too long if I included all the Jones New York dresses that are still on sale. Many are under $100 and some are under $50. Here's just a few...



Jones New York Dress Floral Cut Away Dress (Red) reduced from $119 to $46.99.






Jones New York Dress Paradise Palm Print Shutter Sheath Dress (Pattern) reduced from $160 to $79.99.

Finally, don't forget to check out the accessories. Many handbags, shoes, jewelry and more are being offered a discounted prices. Here's a Michael Stars Leather Skinny Belt reduced from $39 to 4.99.
