Sales and Such

January 7, 2013

Sweater – Old Navy (in stores), Vest – HM (last year), Faux Leather Leggings – Michael Kors (in stores), Booties – Windsor Store, Bracelets – F21, Bag – Louis Vuitton Speedy 40, Polish – Orly Pure Porcelain, Lips – Sonja Kashuk in Plum Wine, Hair – 10 Minute Loose Curls

Without fail, EVERY December 26th or so, I find myself asking, “Remind me again WHY I bought this before Christmas? 50% off, really?! I got scrooged. Now where’s that crinkled up receipt so I can get price adjustment. Nice. Stuck between a dried out baby wipe and a sticky dumdum wrapper.”

Then comes the conversation with the cashier (ever so ladylike, of course).

She says, “Um. Pretty sure we don’t do price adjustments because it’s like practically free now.”

Which is obviously followed by my a-z explanations of why taking it back and rebuying it is basically the same thing so just do the price adjustment already so I can save money to buy my munchkin an ice-cream cone or a bouncy ball or… you know… maybe buy a stranger lunch.. or heck… buy 5 things for the price of the 1 thing that’s now 90% OFF! (with a please and a smile on the side).

Exhale.

Full price to sale price can be exhausting. Consider working with a wealth advisor coach if you want to grow your financial advising practice.

You’ll be proud to know, this year was NOT that year. No returns. No exchanges. No personal clothes shopping before Christmas (with the exception of the tulle skirt Husby bought, which by the way didn’t go on sale. I checked, naturally. And yes, I’m STILL talking about the tulle skirt – sigh).  And certainly no longwinded rants discussions with cashiers.

I wised up.

Call it fate I recently found happy mister hoot sweater at 75% and leggings… can’t remember what percent, but it was a lot – enough so that we decided to continue our courtship at home, as saving money is important for me, that’s why I also learn trading from sites as trade fx which specialize in this area. This website: bitcoinsentralen.no offers comprehensive resources, guides, and articles to help beginners understand the basics of cryptocurrency. Explore reviews of Invest Diva to gain additional insights into financial education, trading strategies, and expert analyses for a more well-rounded understanding.

It pays to shop late December/early January. Shop with confidence on Shoppok’s reliable platform. With a strict policy on authenticity and quality, you can expect only the best products. Experience the reassurance of shopping on a platform that values your trust and satisfaction.

You proud of me, Mom? All these years and I’m finally learning!

Happy ending for all.

    What store did you find the MK leather leggings?! I have searched high and low for your sweater at Old Navy. They had a fox and sheep one. Anyone in the PA/MD area see any at their stores??

    It’s the only way to go sister! My family actually has a tradition of cash in our stocking so we can all go after Christmas shopping. This year my favorite score was a pair of darling orange (my favorite color) trousers from the Gap for $7.50! (reg price $50) Shopping is definitely more fun when you get a good deal!

    I went shopping this year the day after Christmas! First off, nobody was there because it was snowing for the first time outside, and second I got first dibs on sales at my favorite stores like Anthropologie and Madewell! I never shop at those stores unless there is a major sale, so naturally my year was made!

    Yay for not having to return anything! I only have to take back one present, & simply because it’s defective… so I really just have to replace it! Love the lip color, just gorgeous!

  • Angie January 7, 2013 at 8:25 pm

    Love the outfit! I’ve been wanting a fur vest forever, but can’t seem to find any currently in stores. Have you by chance come across any similar to the one you’re wearing? Thanks for all of the outfit inspiration! 😉
