Birthday Loot!

42 has come and gone without even a post about My Birthday Week Gifts To Myself. I'll get to that. First, here are some of my birthday shopping trip purchases.

Behold, the J. Crew Tweed Contessa Dress. Marked DOWN to $119 on the J. Crew Website. No, I didn't get it. Why? 'Cause Me So Cheap!



I got this:



Banana Republic Outlet. Originally priced at $99, marked down to $47 – then an additional 40% off. Stolen by me for $28.

Clea Platforms by J. Crew. Website: $168.



Banana $59, got them for $19!!!


Can't find the J. Crew version of the Ruffled Tank, but here is my $49 marked down – blah blah blah – to $12.



It's kind of hard to tell, but there are different tiers of chiffon down the front. The perfect little tank to wear to work since the humidity has already hit triple digits!

Alas, that's the damage. I'm sure more would have been done, but Lovey's plane landed. Thanks, Delta. My Gapcard thanks you, too!

Saving Some Monies

Ross Dress for Less. What can I say? Love it for the home accessories department, love the occassional shoe find (black platform Nine Wests for $9.99 what?????). I usually stear clear of the clothing sections (especially the junior section - helllo, Jersey Shore!)

Yesterday, I ran in to see if they had some cheap pet beds. I found 2 little round ones for $7.99 each. Awesome!

I stopped in the intimates because I have had *some* luck finding my odd bra size. I looked around and hit the jackpot. There on the bottom rack...in the wrong size...was my bra!

I love these Wacoal bras.

Soft cup, wide range of sizes. This one is $42 via Amazon. I have a nude one and a black one in the front close racerback. I put another one on my annual birthday list. There it was....just waiting for me....for $12.99! Shut the front door! Do not think I didn't scour that place for duplicates.

My Lovey has issues with the Ross. Not from personal experience, from this clip which is high-larious!



And yes, he did ask me where I found the bra. And yes, I told him in the toy section.
