Cleaning Out My Closet

I recently cleaned out my closet with the help of my sister-in-law. She loves fashion as much as me so we spent around 2-3 hours trying on clothes and deciding what to toss or keep. I ended up with 2 bags full of crap clothes to be tossed.

 

I had no idea I accumulated so much stuff.  Now that I got rid of a bunch of things I have been shopping like crazy. Since it is Memorial Day weekend I have been taking full advantage of sales. First on my list was a bic band and a sports bra. 

I have been hearing a lot of great things about Bic Bands. They are supposed to really stay in place and that is just what I need for all of the hair I have. I bought the skinny sparkle silver. They are currently offering a 10% discount on purchases over $24.

The sports bra I got was from Moving Comfort. I hear that these sports bras are amazing for us girls with a little extra. I'm a 36D so I need all of the help I can get when working out. I got the same size in the sports bra that I wear in a regular bra. This particular bra is currently on sale. It is called the Fiona. I hope it all works out. 

JCrew Factory and Banana Republic Factory were having 50% off of their entire store. I bought a really cute dress from BR and some colored toothpick pants from JCrew.

BG Time: Shopping

I will admit that I have a slight shopping problem. I really cannot control myself. There are things that people put in stores to taunt me.......

Dillards is by far one of my most favorite places to go home goods shopping. I am not a big fan of clothing shopping there, its just something about how the clothes are all over the place and you can go from country girl to rocker in two steps. I have a certain style and I like to shop at only a few select stores......Banana Republic....DUH!

BTW: I am extremely upset about Banana Republic being closed down in my nearest mall. I will have to drive almost 30 miles to get to the closest one. What's wrong with these people? Don't they understand that that is MY store!

I digress.. What did make me happy was the awesome steal that my mother-in-law and I got at Dillards. We went to one mall and they had all of their Christmas decor on sale for $1.99. They didn't really have a great selection so we paid it no mind. We decided to leave and go to another Dillards (she shares my same passion for home goods at Dillards) just to see if they offered any thing else. WELL......as we were walking past the Christmas decor we noticed a few Vera Bradley pieces along with some really expensive Christmas ornaments. The prices were not $1.99 though. They were MUCH higher.  BING......Shopping brains are working.......If the other Dillards are selling their Christmas stuff for so cheap then we need to speak to the manager (much to the salespersons demise). We explained while smiling and batting our eyes and he agreed to let us have the stuff for $1.99. Vera Bradley Christmas Ornaments orig. $30.00 for $1.99 and Waterford Crystal Ornaments orig. $75.00 for $1.99. How Fabulous!         

 

These make great Christmas gifts! 

Later we bought out the entire Christmas section shopped for the Lenox Chirp bath set. I am obsessed with Lenox's Chirp Line. It is so dainty and beautiful. I really want to do my guest bath and half bath in their bath line. Dillards is discontinuing it so it was just our luck. 

Unfortunately, we only found a few of the pieces that day. My mother-in-law is also decorating with the same line. She is going with a Tiffany Blue theme for the walls. She love me!
