Test-Drive: Sears' Fall LOOK Report

I'm a sucker for a challenge, especially when it involves shopping. And so, when Sears Canada asked me to check out their new fall collection (and I saw how insanely beautiful Bar Refaeli looked in their new Nevada campaign), I replied 'Count me in!'

The mission? Test-drive the new fall looks from the Sears Fall Look! Report, including pieces from Nevada, Jessica and Attitude. I'll admit that I'm not a regular Sears shopper but was excited to see the new fashion direction in person. After all, Sears Canada was my first internship after fashion school. Meeemoriiies....

I arrived at the London Sears and immediately made a beeline for the Nevada section, plastered with posters of the lovely (and now Leo-less) Bar Refaeli. I loved the camo pants (if I didn't already own a pair, they would have been #1 on my list) and was smitten with the floaty blouses and cognac biker vest. 

Next, I cleaned up in the Attitude section. Graphic black & white pieces, from a perfect black skater skirt to sleek and super sexy leggings to cozy colour-blocked and patterned knits made their way into my ever-growing pile.  

Finally, I had to check out the Jessica section and scored a gorgeous merlot peplum dress (this would make a perfect office dress) and a printed Tory Burch-esque shirtdress. They both fit like a dream and were under $50 each. I honestly could have easily taken both home if not for my compulsive shopping problem. Remember what my imaginary therapist says, ‘Breathe. Control. Restraint. Is another pair of shoes really going to make it all better?’ The answer is yes. Yes, they will. But right, breathe, control, restraint. Phew.  

An hour later, I emerged with the skater skirt, faux-leather leggings and an amazing chevron print knit, all for just over $100. Don't be a hater, you need to check out this new collection. You will not believe how far Sears has come in the last few years.

Oh, and before you go, don't forget to check out the full Sears Fall Look! Report or follow Sears Canada on Pinterest for some outfit inspo. 

Happy shopping and happy Friday!
