Here’s another reason to keep your receipts!

After-Christmas sales are in full swing as stores try to clear their inventory and get people to use those gift cards they received beneath the tree. Prices are dropping everywhere.

That’s good news if you’ve got some more shopping to do — and it’s great news for everyone who kept their receipts from Christmas shopping!

Here’s how to take advantage of the sales to get some money back.

I just checked out the huge sale Macy’s are having right now. The best find? Over 100 different styles of dresses, including some fantastic bargains that will work well into fall.

These three are my favorites:

Updated 90s retro: Michael Kors colorblock dress

A fresh take on a 90s-revival trend (color-blocking) this MICHAEL Michael Kors sleeveless colorblock sheath dress is a scene-stealer. Add tights, a wide black belt and a trench coat or cardigan and you’re ready for fall. It’s now…

There are lots of really stylish small bags out there. Some days, though, you need a big bag you can just throw everything into: a small cardigan, a mini umbrella, that oh-so-elegant but really tiny clutch that you’ll want to show off that evening. This is that big bag.

This purple nylon hobo bag from Gap is spacious but stylish. The beechroot color is gorgeous and the simple design won’t get in the way of your outfit…

This short-sleeve cropped cardigan from T Tahari is the perfect layer for the first autumn breeze or an over-air-conditioned office. The regular price is $88, but you can toss one in your tote bag for the sale price of $39.99!

Want to know my secret to always having something to wear? Making great matches from my closet is easy because I collect solid color tops with interesting details like this Fleurish back keyhole top. Available in both fuchsia and black, this comfy jersey top is just as easy to coordinate as your basic t-shirt, but with more pizzazz.

It’s now on sale for just $9.99 — down from $36!

Jeans started off as pants for those whose work demanded tough clothing.  Now they’re ubiquitous in all walks of life.  That doesn’t mean that today’s casual jeans can slack off, though.  We women want jeans that work just as hard for us.  They should be comfortable, stylish, do wonders for our figures, and not cost an entire paycheck.  That’s not too much to ask, right?

From the original jeans company, Levi’s 512 Perfectly Slimming jeans are definitely…

I usually don’t spend a lot of money on my nails. I can count on one hand the number of professional manicures I’ve had and, although I do love great nail polish like OPI’s Russian Navy, most of the time my nails are a very frugal au naturel. However, there is one area where I don’t cheap out: my nail file.

Sure, you can get cardboard files for super cheap. I used them for years. However,…

Ahhh…. summer. Time to kick back and stay cool. Fortunately, it is possible to dress chic despite the heat, especially with the right pair of shorts.

Knee-length shorts like these Style&co. Bermuda shorts are a flattering length for most women — especially compared to less forgiving styles like short shorts and capris. Plus, they’re easier to dress up. This pair is especially flattering and versatile thanks to the dark coffee bean color and lack of fussy embellishments.…

This season’s floral trend isn’t just about flirty, feminine skirts. Flowers are popping up everywhere, like on this sprightly floral ring from Glitzs.

In addition to being fun and fashionable, this piece is truly a work of art. The ring is sterling silver and platinum vermeil; the intricate flowers are gold and platinum vermeil, each featuring a created diamond. In short, it’s playfully posh.

This unique piece is now on sale for $28.26, down from $64.42.
