the seventh sense


So this post was supposed to go up yesterday.  But I had no internet.  And also I napped during my son's nap time (ie. blogging time).  So here I am.  It's Tuesday.  Everyone do the Tuesday Dance (you shake your hips just so).

Now, last week I promised I would talk about clothes this week. I know I tend not to keep blog promises (can't help it, a woman's prerogative to change her mind and all that).  But this week I am still feeling it.  So, enough preamble, let's commence.  

Do you see MY PANTS?  Totally awesome, right?  Oh yes.  I think so.  And guess the price tag.  Just take a moment, close your eyes, and imagine a number in your head.  Was it 70 cents?  Because if it was, you're right.  Seriously, these pants cost me less than a dollar.  You see, I had a hankering to go to my favourite thrift store.  And when I got there I found out it was everything you can stick in a bag for five dollars day.  So I stuffed 7 things in a bag, including these pants (which make my butt look awesome, next time a butt picture, I promise ;-).  

I seem to have this sixth sense about sales.  I just "know".  Whenever I have an especial strong inclination to go to a shop there's a sale on.  Seriously, ask my husband.  It's like a seventh sense: the shopping sense.  

outfit total: $334.05

jacket, danier: $300

  1. Can I borrow your seventh sense when I go shopping this weekend? Being a poor college student, well, that would benefit me a lot ;)

    You look chic. Not that that is anything new, because you always are. I think you have an eighth sense of always looking amazing, too.

  6. Great trousers! Those high waisted ones always look scary on the hanger, that must be why they are reduced to buttons in the sales. Well done. Gorgeous as ever! xxx

  8. The trousers look amazing on you! I think Vix is right - they're terrifying on a hanger which is why I never look twice at them but they always look great on other bloggers.

  16. Well they look great on you. That is a great talent to have. What a great sale. I wish I walked into a store with a sale like that.

  17. That's a deal!! I believe you about your sixth sense. I can tell sometimes when certain people are going to email me that day -- people I don't often hear from. It's odd but I just know. Sadly, I don't have a sixth sense for saving money...
