They are, and they're also very excited for my 21st! (I just hope I don't puke on them.) I think I might be bringing them a friend in black soon, because really, at 50% off, you can't lose! :D

The folks I knew that wore them were sorta hippyish. But it's good to hear there are some that aren't that way ;)

I go shopping about once a week, even though I never need anything. I dropped by the mall today and found a dress for my friend's wedding.

Sauconys are cute, but in terms of function, no one will ever separate me from my New Balances - I have terrible ankles and New Balances support my feet the best!

And in terms of shopping:

frequency - several times a week

last thing I bought - an internal frame backpack online
shockingly functional for me, but I'm going backpacking in 3 weeks and you can't go backpacking without a backpack!

But in terms of frivolous purchases, I have an eye on a super cute pair of black flats - good for city exploring or nights on the town! (Very limited as to how much I can take with me for the month of backpacking).

Last time I went shopping was Friday night for groceries. The last time I went shopping for fun in a store was last Wednesday when I bought SATC Complete Season 3 on DVD and some other fun stuff at Target and Barnes & Noble.

I also have an online shopping addiction where I will put lots of stuff in a shopping cart until I get paid and then buy it in shifts. I'm the queen of wish lists in my LJ! :)

I go some 4-6 times a week, but don't always buy.

Last thing I bought:

A Banana Republic pink grapefruit cotton pique peacoat. It was $29.99, down from $178 original price. The manager said they just put it on the floor that day.:p

Me too!!! The first time I knew it bothered him was when he looked at me and said, "You just bought another pair of shoes?!"

Seriously, I go shopping probably every day (I work across the street from one of the best malls in Charlotte!)....and I still get frustrated b/c I feel like I never have anything to wear! lol.

Just got back from shopping *AGAIN*. I needed some stuff from Tar-zhay for my house. I also ended up buying the puppy a bed and some more toys, Old Navy also has a lot of stuff on sale. I bought 3 more basic black and white perfect fit tanks because you can never have enough of them. I bought 2 pairs of flip flops because they were on sale 2 for $5.00 and my puppy is always chewing them anyways. I got a really hot reversible fushia bag too. Who said shopping wasn't a sport?:D

That's such a great color.

Okay, I think we need a separate thread just for hardcore shopaholics like me...to update their daily shopping activity. :D

Last night I went to Ann Taylor Loft. I had a coupon and a gift certificate. I got a pair of capris and a cute halter top and only spent $21 of my own money. I need to get over to a different store b/c I saw another cute pair of capris, but the store I was in didn't have them in my size.

Went to Ann Taylor to return some items...ended up exchanging them for 2 tops (select tees are on sale for 20% off!). I'll be getting back over there one day this week to get one or two more in different colors.

Today on my lunch break I bought 2 eye makeup brushes from Aveda. I also went over to Bath & Body Works & picked up 3 antibacterial soaps for $10 (they're having their sale!). I wanted to look at some of the aromatherapy stuff...but I was being picky and running out of time on my lunch break. I'm going to go back over there either tonight or tomorrow evening to look, and I also want to get a wallflower (they're on sale for $5!!!).

I also want to get over to the Limited - they have a cute khaki skirt that I saw in the display but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.

I'm also looking for a pair of red kitten heels. Anyone have any suggestions? Gap is out of theirs. :(

Steeltrap, you continue to amaze me. I don't think I know anyone who gets as good of deals as you do!

winneythepooh7 06-08-2004 02:45 PM

I was back at Old Navy today on my lunch hour. I bought 3 more of the 3/$15 white perfect fit tank tops. You can never have enuf of them in the summertime. Also I ended up getting the 4th of July Collar and Leash for my doggie. Yes, I second we need a shop-a-holic thread:D

I just happen to be in the right place at the right time -- which is very easy when you're in Southern California and have easy access to Nordstrom Rack, Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet, thrift and consigment stores.

My deal-hunting skills were honed more than 20 years ago, when I was a freshman in college.
My parents gave me a few hundred dollars, which I turned into a pretty decent wardrobe.

Naturalizer has two styles you might like - the Marcy and the Cotton. You can check them out at Naturalizer.com.

I don't think any of the outlets will have them yet because we just marked them down, but they'll probably have something similiar from last year.
