A few weeks ago, I got an email telling me about a "Bag Sale" at Divine Consign. I've been to the bag sale at Divine Consign before so I knew how it worked. You can bring a paper shopping bag or similar sized reusable bag with you and you fill it with sale items for $10. The last time that I'd gone was at the end of the summer so most of the sale items were spring/summer items. I expected most of the items this time to be winter items. Since I left Ken in the car, I shopped around and picked out an armload of cute stuff but didn't try any on. All 12 of my items fit in one bag so including two brand new items-with tags, I only spent $10. One of the skirts that I bought, I gave to my mom since she'd been trying to find a grey skirt and I was able to find two. I also ended up giving away a pair of pants from Express that still had the tags on them and a plaid pair of capris that didn't fit quite right.
I found two nice pairs of corduroys, a dark brown pair from J. Crew and a pale khaki pair from London Jeans. In the second pic with the light cords, I have on a cardigan/tank set from Van Heusen. The cardigan set has Asian style buttons:
I found a great grey pencil skirt from Banana Republic that buttons in the back:
This top is Ann Taylor and ties at the end of the sleeves. The empire waistline sits at just the right spot which is an issue in smaller shirts. The black pants have slits at the bottom of the legs which make it easy to show off a cute pair of pumps:
I also bought a pair of lined wool pants from Express that are a variegated black/grey:
In the photo I'm wearing the pants with a blazer that I bought at the sale also. It has a custom lining with black and white animal print:
One of the items that still had the tags on it was a cute plaid skirt from Brooks Brothers marked $69.50!
The last thing that I found before I went to the register was a button-up shirt that looks brand new and is from New York and Co. :
I've been to quite a few sales since so I have a lot to share but that's all I've taken pics of so far. I'm going to put this item as my wish list item tonight even though I don't think it's a bad deal or overly expensive. I just have certain limits to what I'll spend on a dress. I have the same limits for shoes, purses, jeans, shirts, etc and they help keep me in line. lol This dress is listed on Etsy because it's a vintage Betsey Johnson. I love the lace overlay and the contrast of the lace and the dress underneath. The seller has it listed at $55 which is cheap for a Betsey dress. Here's a pic and the link:

For today's deal of the day, I chose a bathing suit from Victoria's Secret. One of the things that I like most about VS bikinis is that they're sold in separates. This top is sold by bra size which makes it even easier to guarentee the right fit and it's on sale for $24. The bottoms come in different styles but this style, the "cheeky hipkini" is on sale for $15. Here's the link and a pic:

That's all for tonight. It's late and I'm going to hope that I'm not so tired that I'm posting a bunch of typos. Goodnight!
