So let's start out with the really good news. What could be better than the smell of spring in the air? What could be better than pedicure and flip flop season right around the corner? What could be better than cranking open my sun roof in my car to the tunes of the 70's and dusting the cobwebs out of my sun porch in anticipation of watching my rose bush blooming? Yes this is a pretty impressive list of "great, good and awesome" things coming my way but wait til you see my "very" impressive list of bargains I have snagged over the long, cold winter season. This encompasses three cities, a lot of leg work and a lot of fun. On that note, so much to tell, let's get started!!!
I love Nordstrom Rack!!! I live about 40 miles from one but it's worth a trip any time. They have a brand that I just love called "Bobeau" which is described as "casual, contemporary, chic...free spirited Bohemian hippie", yes that's me!!! Actually, confession time, 2 trips to the rack in a month...yep deals are just that good!!! First trip purchased: a bright orange sweatshirt with funky holes all down the front, retail for $58 but there is a big red tag saying 78% savings and selling for $12.97, next purchase: a gray and white stripped long tunic top that buttons down the front and has a hood(perfect with leggings and boots), retails for $52, down to $26.97 and with that big red tag that says 70% savings down to $15.60.
Second trip to the rack... first purchase is a light sweatshirt trimmed in lace, perfect with jeans and flats by the brand "Democracy". Retails for $58, down to $34.97, then $23.20 and lastly my 75% savings down to $14.50. Second purchase is a ribbed black and tan sweater with an open front(I always add a decorative pin to the open front) by another brand I love "Fever", all I see is the red tag and 75% savings down to $17. Also purchased a bracelet but that is just icing on my cake. So both trips together with my savings of $137.43, my receipt says that I saved more than I spent and that I'm a "shopping genius". How nice!!!
Onto JCPs...their brand "JoeFresh" is bright, fashion forward, a nice approach to style. When they move merchandise, they move it!!! I bought a great lime green and blue stripped waffle style Henley top, retail for $16 down to $3.97. And a matching beautiful lime green cable sweater(looks hand made), retails for $29 marked down to $6.97...yes a savings of $34.06.
Let's talk about SteinMart...just gonna list 'em:,
1. Great crocheted vest, pinks, blacks, greens...$12.44.
2. Beautiful "Peck & Peck" black & white stripped blazer, retails for $29.95, half of, $14.97.
3. Love the brand "Cha Cha Vente", forget the description, they were marked down 50% and then another half of, first top, SteinMart price $24.99, I paid $5.97, second top, SteinMart price $24.99 and I paid $7.47. Total paid was $43.71 with a savings of $215.15...YES!!!
And the shopping bargain bonanza continues...I will be brief and to the point.
My love affair with Bob's shoes continues: 1st pair at Steinmart bought for $19.97 savings of $30, second pair bought at Shoe Carnival for $25.00(camouflage...cool), yes a very good price.***Crocs,(love them) flats in bright pink(with furry insides) bought for $14.99***Bass shoe store, pink flats(different than Crocs, these have silver embellishments) bought for $16.99***Chicos outlet, cranberry slim pants bought for $14***Dillards, 2 necklaces each for $6, they were half off***DSW Adrienne Vittadini black suede heels,$69.94 down to $41.96.
So that is my shopping extravaganza thus far. I'm patting myself on the back for a job well done. I want to share others great fortune, good finds and bargains here in this column...please e-mail to harleydiva@bex.net for a reader appreciation column. Tell me all about your good deals, you deserve a pat on the back also!!! Could there be any bargains out there I have
