Since last weekend was the last one in January I decided to be bad & blow the rest of my budget instead of being a good girl. Saturday I went to DSW and Marshalls with my Mom and sister. I must have had Tahari on the brain [you'll see why]. On Sunday I was supposed to go shopping with my friend, but that didn't happen so I did something else... You can click all the photos to see everything larger :D
Saturday: We stopped at Marhsalls first & I found this awesome leopard print Tahari sweater for only $20, normally $178! It's a little big since its a large & I'm usually a S/M, but I figure I'll mostly wear it unbuttoned or belted. AND I can wear it as a dress too, a short dress...but a dress ;)
They happened to have 2 so I picked up both & am selling the other on eBay, so if one of you lovely ladies would like it you can bid/buy it now HERE! :D Here's the deal: if there are no bids & you want to make an offer (at least $20 + $5 for US shipping/$15 international), I'll take it off eBay so you don't have to worry about bidding...the perks of being a follower ;) To make an offer email me at aclosetfashionista-blog[at]yahoo[dot]com.
*It starts at $29.99 so I at least make the $20 I spent after all the stupid fees, the buy it now price is $59.99 so I'll make $40 so its like getting the one I bought for myself free ;)
Then we went to DSW and there were lots of cute shoes on sale. I found these Tahari 'Travis' Oxfords for $79.94 & they were 70% off so I paid $24. I'm guessing they are normally around $110 since that's what DSW says... I'm not sure if I want to keep them though...what do you all think?!
On Sunday I did some more damage. I was supposed to go shopping with a friend, but as usual the plans fell through. I get very annoyed when people don't plan things properly. She texted me on Sunday morning to let me know that she couldn't go anymore... *rolls eyes* but that's better than on Sunday afternoon like I thought she would. So I decided to treat myself to a Chanel nail polish...I got the Limited Edition Riva shade, it was $2 more than the normal ones at $27 but whatever...I also got free shipping and 2 free samples [Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere and Inimitable Mascara (Noir Obscur)], yay!!! This was a big splurge for me, it took me like 5 hours to press the checkout button...I'm so crazy.
So all in all i spent $71 this weekend. (I'm not counting the $20 on the second Tahari sweater since I should break even selling it or I'll return it, haha)

I love your shopping stories and budget stories! You are a little crazy, but in a good way. ; )
ReplyDeleteI was trying to buy this glittery gold Opi nail polish on Amazon today, but with international shipping it was going to be $20. Uh, no. And definitely not the day before the shopping ban starts! ; )
That is one amazing deal on the cardi! WOW! And I would keep the shoes, but only if you really really love them...which if you're having doubts, maybe you don't!

The nail color is soft and pretty. I like your shoes. So preppy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome is the word for the cardi and the polish too. The two go together so well.
ReplyDeleteThe color of that polish is BEYOND pretty! It'll be so perfect for Spring.
ReplyDeleteHey, the important thing is you got great deals! And you may even recoup some of the cost if you sell your sweater for the asking price :) Can't wait to see that Chanel polish on your fingers, don't forget to share!
ReplyDeleteEverything is lovely! I especially love the detail on the sweater.
ReplyDeleteThe cardi was such a steal! Those shoes were a great find. I'm liking the dual tone

I love the polish color - so pretty! And perfect for spring and summer!
ReplyDeleteI think the shoes are cute, but whenever someone questions a purchase, my advice is to return it. If you were completely in love, you wouldn't ask for opinions.
