Recent Purchases
It seems like I have been shopping a lot lately, but it really has been on accident. I go to a store looking for something for my kids, and I end up falling into these huge sales. So, I thought I would share with you some of my recent purchases (with photos).
First of all, I know that I had already shared with you my Gap purchases from their huge sale, but thought I would show you some photos. I also bought a maxi dress at the Gap. I was looking for black pants for my son at Gap Kids and found myself at the regular Gap, saw this dress and had to have it. I always wanted to try a maxi dress but didn't want to spend the money on one. Why? What if I wouldn't like it the next season? Would I be able to pull that look off? I am vertically challenged!!! Well, I ended up getting it for free by using my Gap rewards certificate. YEA!!!!! I have also included some of the other items I purchased there.
Yesterday, I went to Old Navy looking for a Halloween t-shirt for my daughter and found that they were having a huge sale, too. Additional 30% off their clearance. I didn't find the t-shirt for my daughter (I know, I'm a little late for looking for Halloween items) but found a few good deals for me. Yes, I bought two tie-neck sleeveless blouses, ivory and black, for only $8 each. They are perfect for wearing with a cardigan or a jacket. Check them out below. The other top is from the Gap.

Do I feel guilty spending all this money? NO!! I got everything for so cheap!!! I didn't even spend over $100. Personally, I feel that when you go out shopping really wanting to buy something and spend money, you never find anything. It's the times I don't go out looking is when I always have luck shopping. When you least expect it...when it's by chance...that's when you find the hidden gems...the deals...the steals!!!
Enjoy you day!!!
