Hit Or Miss Shopping
I am very hit or miss when it comes to clothes shopping. Sometimes I will head out, walk around the mall for hours or drive from store to store trying to find something and come home empty-handed. Other times I'll find lots of great things, all for a great price, in no time at all. My shopping trip this past weekend was, fortunately, one of the good ones.
I have been in need of a long wool dress coat for years but have managed to get by without one. It's been super cold lately and I have a wedding to go to this weekend, so I figured now would be the perfect time to try and find one. I had a gift card for Macy's that I got for my birthday so I decided to start there. I found a really beautiful long, black, wool dress coat by Anne Klein. It was 40% off. And they had my size... in Petite, even. So I ended up paying $140 for a $265 coat.
Next stop was Banana Republic. I went in, flew by all the super expensive stuff in the front, and went to the sale rack in the back. I found a cute corderoy jacket that was originally $98, on sale for $36. And then a matching tank top to go underneath, also on sale.
After that I ran into Kohls. I wanted to find a plain white long sleeve t-shirt to wear under other sweaters and vests, etc.. I also just wanted to look around and see if I found anything nice. I ended up finding the white t-shirt, picked up a pink one as well, and found a nice argyle sweater (love argyle). I think the total came to around $36 or $38.
Not a bad shopping trip, right?
What about you -- do you usually have trouble finding what you're looking for or do you usually find more than you need/your wallet can handle? What's your favorite recent purchase?

I went into Coldwater Creek the other day and they had a 70% off sale going on. I usually don't even step into CC bc their clothes aren't my style, but they had the CUTEST sweaters. I bought two of them. Both look handmade. One is this beautiful burgundy color, sleeveless with a big wooden button in the middle and the other is a long sleeve,soft brown with a full collar and a zip up the middle. LOVE IT!
Heidi, wow! That's a pretty amazing deal you got. And those sweaters sound great. Perfect fall colors!
I do EXACTLY the same thing at Banana, fly right to the back and look for the hidden gems - too funny!
I also have fairly frequent success at Winners, I'm loathe to admit. ;)
You are a smart woman! :) The prices in there are ridiculous if you pay full price. Nice clothes, though. I'm afraid I don't know Winners -- guessing they are only in Canada. Do you know any US equivalent?
