Shopping is one of my favorite activities. I love to "collect" shoes, clothes, and purses. I am working on having a very extravagant collection one day. This weekend was very successful for shopping. I found wonderful deals! My first stop was
Shoe Carnival. I really feel that this store is a really little known secret. From having "Family and Friends" Day to providing a great selection of shoes for the entire family, no matter what time of year, you can always leave with a great bargain. On Thursday, I purchased a pair of
SODA suede flats and DILBA brown and caramel heels. Both pairs were less than 50.00!
On Friday, my next stop was to
Francesca's Collection in Dogwood Shopping Center, located in Flowood, MS. I love going straight to their clearance rack. I purchased a great geometric A -line skirt for 9.98.
I didn't forget to stop by
Shoe Dept to return a pair of gorgeous brown heels that hurt my feet sooooo bad. In exchange for these shoes, I found a great pair of
Nine West slingbacks. I was so excited to find them in a size 11 and on sale!
My last stop was
New York and Company. Since I am on their email list, I decided to take advantage of one of the many coupons I receive from them on a daily basis. The experience was draining at first. My initial encounter with a sales associate almost discouraged me from trying on and purchasing anything, but I asked for the manager on duty. She was so helpful and knowledgeable that it was a understandable why she was the manager there! I was able to get a great pair of brown slacks for buy one get one 75% off. I then hit the clearance rack up and find another great pair of black pants and a red shoulder handbag. To finish up the trip, I purchased a burgundy wide belt (my signature accessory) and a brown trouser belt.
I was really proud of the success I had this weekend shopping for myself. It was so phenomenal. Most of the time it is really easy to find things for others and not myself.
