I never seem to be...Just Looking

    I have some great deals to tell you about tonight that I got today on my lunch break. I worked today (I guess technically yesterday), on Veteran's Day, and decided to go shopping on my lunch break instead of reading like I usually do. I hadn't been to Just Looking in a while and figured there would be a lot of new stuff there with the changed season. Just Looking is in Raynham in the plaza across from Bob's and Aldi. Well, I was right about them having new stuff and I found sweater that I liked immediately. It helped that it was one of the first shirts hanging on the rack when I walked in. lol It's an Ann Taylor, mostly cotton blend, empire waist, turquoise, 3/4 sleeve sweater. The blend makes the sweater really soft to the touch and because it had been there since August, it was marked down from the original $8.50. Here's a picture of me trying it on when I got it home:

     Next, I found purple jersey cotton turtle neck from the Gap. I love the length of the body and the sleeves because they are extra long. It was also marked down-from $6.95, because it was brought in back in August. Here's a pic:
    
    The next shirt that I found was also jersey cotton and is from Banana Republic. It's bright orange with long sleeves and a gathered scoop neck collar. Like my other finds, it was marked down. I just now, looking at the tags again, realized that they all came in on the same day, so they probably came from the same person. I guess she had good taste. haha Anyway, the orange shirt was marked down from $8.25. It looks a little pink in the pic instead of orange, but here's the pic:

    The sweater that I found after that is a grey leopard print wrap style sweater from Dress Barn. Since it came in on the same date in August, it was marked down from $7.95. I may end up taking it in a little so it fits better around the waist, but I'm going to see what it looks like with a tank under it. Here's the pic:

     After that, I glanced at the pants and didn't see anything that I "had" to have, then the dresses. I found a cute grey sweater-dress made by a brand I'd never heard of but that caught my eye, Ashley! It was only $6.95 and looked like the right size since I'd already decided I wasn't trying anything on. (this is not typical and may even be a first) Here's a pic of the sweater-dress:

      The sweater-dress will look better when I don't have it on over a pair of jeans. :) Oh, and please try to disregard/forget the mess in the background in the pics....it's just my room. hehe
   
      So I brought all of this up to the register not knowing exactly what to expect because I couldn't remember how the discounts work depending on how many months things have been there, and everything totaled out to $21.00!! The shop owner reminded me that a purchase $25 or higher would get me a stamp on my frequent buyers card-yes they have one too,so I went back and grabbed a short sleeved shirt that I'd looked at and didn't take the first time. It's from Banana Republic and it's green cotton with bunched sleeves and a slit/v-neck. Here's a pic:
 
      For everything: five shirts and a sweater-dress, it came to just over $25! Deals like that don't happen every day, so I needed to share and couldn't wait to do it. I hope I didn't overload you with pictures.

      Today's deal of the day comes from Sears.com. I actually found these booties during my online search last night but was already stuck between two items. These booties are faux suede with a side zipper and a 4.75" heel. The description may sound similar to last night's, but the booties aren't. What sets tonight's booties apart is the large rosette accent on the side of boot. They are available in three different solid colors: beige, red, or black. Sears.com seems to only have the beige in stock but I've also seen them on other sites. Here's the link and pic: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_0000000000000000334200000000000ELLIOT-12P?ci_sku=SPM5706389601&ci_src=14110944&i_cntr=1321078554818&sid=IDx20101019x00001a

       My wishlist item is kind of a revision of one of my first wishlist items. It's a Juicy Couture starter charm bracelet. This one, unlike the first one, would match my Juicy necklace. It isn't all that expensive but I still don't think that I'd spend the $42 on a bracelet that's silver plated....even if it is Juicy....and it matches the necklace. I swear I'm not caving. lol I found the bracelet on Piperlime.com when I was actually looking for something else. I'd heard of piperlime from Project Runway, but I'd never been to the site. It seems pretty easy to use. Here's a link and pic of the bracelet:
On that note, I'm going to bed. I may try to post again before the weekends over considering my successful trip to Savers tonight, but I'm going to leave you in suspense for now. Goodnight.
