It may be January 9th but it still feels like Christmas to me
That’s because I still haven’t used all of the gift certificates that I received for Christmas. Tonight I headed to Fashion Bug, where they were having a fantastic 70%-off sale. How could I resist a sale like that? I had $75 to burn and wanted to get the most bang for my buck, so in I went and came home with:
- A dressy purple V-neck top with pretty jagged edging along the neckline, a criss-cross bustline, and 3/4 sleeves.
- A dressy royal blue top with some “jewels” along the bustline (to bring the eyes upward, to some of my better features). Hey, all I know is that it works for me!
- A dressy teal v-neck top (identical to a plum-colored one that I bought a few months ago) with beautiful gray seed pearls strung along the neckline.
- A glittery brown V-neck stretch top with a criss-cross bustline and 3/4 sleeves that I am hoping will shrink in the wash. I felt the one in “my” size was too clingy…and I’m not thin enough for that yet. I don’t want to accentuate the negative (my belly), ya know? So I wanted to go up 1 size BUT there weren’t any in that size. So I ended up going up 2 sizes because I liked it so much. While it does look big on me, I think I can get away with it, ESPECIALLY IF IT SHRINKS IN THE WASH!
- A light gray cotton knit hooded pullover sweatshirt that you TOTALLY have to wear a top under (because the bustline seems to end somewhere around my tummy).
- A matching pair of light gray cotton knit sweatpants.
- 6 pairs of knee-hi’s (3 prs in nude and 3 prs in off-black).
- 1 pair of silver dangle earrings.
As I was shopping, I kept asking the saleswoman to check how much $ I had left spent. At one point I asked the woman, “Where am I?” and she said…
Wait for it…
It’s a good one…
It so made me laugh!
She said, “Fashion Bug.” LOL
And I was like, “NO, I mean how much more $ do I have left to spend?” FYI, in the end, I got plenty of bang for my buck…and I mean that literally as I ended up having to add $1 out of my own pocket toward the bill. So thanks again to my Mom and my buddy Dianne for their thoughtful gift certificates that made this shopping expedition possible! I’M ECSTATIC!
