I love me some good deals!

Retail therapy- it's the best kind. Whether just window shopping or out to find the perfect pair of work shoes, nothing beats a stroll through store aisles.I usually go shopping without much in mind. ..I am usually just trying to escape reality for awhile and have a little "me time." But it seems that whenever I walk into a store, sales and deals are jumping out at me! I'm pretty frugal with my money, but when a good deal comes my way I rarely pass it up and tonight proves that I have an eye for bargains.

First up, my post Christmas wrapping essentials purchase...



total cost = $7.82

Next, my "I don't really need these but they'll make great birthday shoes for DC" purchase...


total cost = $12.97

And finally, the perfect shoes for the perfect dress. I found all of the bridesmaid shoes on sale and in our sizes so I had to get them...



total cost = $6.49/pair

But wait, I know you are all wondering what the perfect dress is, so I will show you! Below is what we will be wearing as we watch my beautiful sister walk down the aisle in July...




I can't wait to stand by sister's side as she says I do!!! The shoes were by far the best purchase of the night because it made her wedding that much more real. I can't wait!

But...to get back to the focus of this post....BARGAINS! I love finding quality clothes/shoes for much less than full price. Some will say I'm a shop-a-holic and I'm okay with that! Yay for relieving stress and makin' out like a bandit during my 'therapy session' at the mall!
