i shopped til i dropped

i hardly ever go to the mall unless it's for christmas shopping or if i'm with my bff, adrienne (she's always dragging me to a mall somewhere). but yesterday i had to work late so my ex picked up the kids for me. i met him at the mall because he took the kids there to run some errands. so i ended up walking by petite sophisticate. now, i love that store. that's where i get all my work clothes. they're nice, classy, and made for short chicks. but i don't go in there too often because their shit is EXPENSIVE! i mean, a regular suit is $250. slacks are never less than $50. so you have an idea of the clothes there. anyhow, i see the store and then see a sign for 60% off (usually it means something ugly on the clearance rack). but i thought i'd try my luck, maybe i could find a cute shirt or something. i start looking and notice that none of the tags have the sale price. so i asked the sales girl if the sales price would be marked on the tag or rack, or what. then she tells me that the ENTIRE fucking store is on sale! not only that, but there was an additional 15% off. there were some shit for 80% off already, with another 15% off, etc. that got the wheels in my head spinning. i looked at my kids and told them "have a seat because mommy's going to be a while". so i just start piling shit on the counter. "hold these, i'm not done". hehe

i got jackets! i guess the best way to describe them would be like the really cute fitted and short blazer type jackets? i think i got 6 of them. i love those jackets, but they're expensive. they cost between $60-$100. i have a brown one and a black one but i'm swimming in them since i bought them before i lost weight. so i got one in pink, green, blue, white, gray, black. hehe. i'm so happy! i don't have to shop for the rest of my life! well, at least for work.

here's my breakdown:

6 jackets - total $348

3 sweaters -total $153

7 blouses -total $262

4 slacks -total $203

1 skirt -total $40

2 scarves -total $40

2 pairs of pantyhose -total $12

grand total including tax = $1178.00

HOLY FUCK!!! over a thousand dollars on work clothes?!

BUT! guess how much i spent?

including tax? $338

yeah, you read right...

$338! woo hoo! and they're all cute!!!

i gotta say.... it's pretty cool when you can pick up a really nice $100 jacket for $20. hehe.... and i got a $70 jacket for $11, and a $80 jacket for $17... and... well... you get the idea.

short chicks all over the world, RUN to this store! they're closing down!
