Spring Shopping
I guess Spring is here. It was a clothing shopping extravaganza at the O’Connor household this week.
On Saturday I stopped by the Flux Nouveau Warehouse on Saturday and grabbed a few tees for both hubby and me and a totally cute cotton dress for my daughter. Spent $40 on 6 items. But I saved $160. Not bad. The quality and cut of their tees is phenomenal. I am now a devoted fan. Simple, well cut, and sexy.
Then I drove across town to the LF Warehouse Sale. I passed on the Charles David sale with the heavy crowds and lousy parking that was on route. I went last time and though it’s a great sale, I didn’t want to struggle with the parking.
The steals at the LF warehouse sale were plentiful. Instead of going the first day as was my mode, I went on the last day at 1pm. I though I was just gonna say hi to the hard working crew, browse a few accessories and maybe find one special something. But no, I went ape and scored big time on spring wardrobe staples: tops, tees and jeans. I got 4 pairs of jeans, 6 tops (2 were doubles for my daughter) for $157. Regular retail at the LF Stores would have been $700.
Hubby also scored this week, stopping by his fave, Armani Wells. He’s a tough to fit guy. My rocker /musician /web dude is on the shorter side, but owner Claudia totally gets how to dress him and holds things just for him. He came home with a couple of casual cotton summer trousers, a pair of army type Nike boots and an amazing Michael Kors cashmere windbreaker. Retail would have run him $840. He paid $200.
Shaelan scored as well with two tees from the LF sale, Paris Blues jeans from Ross, and a couple of graphic tees. The scary part is she is wearing a size one now. No more baby kid clothes for her. I am trying to teach her to never pay retail.
I am sure we will get more summery clothes at several upcoming sales. But this is one heck of a good start and a nice little pick up from a rather difficult winter.
