fun finds for the boy at jc penney

i went to jc penney on a hunt for window shades. i ended up finding a ton of great things for the boy. the best score was this quilted jacket, regularly $40, on sale for $25.  the image online makes it look awful and super shiny, so i made the boy pose for a picture for the blog. i had to crop out his face because he looked crazy. anyone who knows the boy in person knows he is prone to making crazy faces to annoy me. one day, i am going to embarrass him and post the crazy face.

he loves the jacket. we had been looking at many similar items that were a lot more expensive. for a casual, knockaround town jacket, you can't beat $25. the quality seems decent. it is lightweight,  certainly not appropriate for a harsh new england winter. layered with a sweater if it is colder, the jacket is perfect for fall, early winter and spring in this region.  i am thinking about getting one for myself!

here are the other items i loved for men at jcp:

$35 plaid sport shirt. this shirt is just like the trendier ones j crew is selling for $70.

i loved this sweater, only $30

obviously, i like striped sweaters. this one was only $20 and is very soft.

i didn't find as many nice thing for women. everything i checked out for women looked like it only cost $20. i was really surprised by the men's selections. The quality seems surprisingly good for the price.
