A Major Score!


I opened up a magazine (can't remember which one) last week and spotted this dress. It was under an an article that said something like, "Dresses under $50.00." I immediately LOVED it and looked over to see where I could get it. I was surprised to see that it was from lulus.com. It was exciting to see a local boutique (they only sell online now) get into a magazine!
Like I have described in previous posts, I am a penny pincher especially when it comes to clothes. So I didn't think much of it and moved on.
Fast forward to Friday night, I was browsing craigslist to see if there was any good yard sales the next morning and I noticed Lulus was having an outlet sale the next morning at 8am. I got up early, showered and headed on over Saturday morning. I got there a little early because I anticipated a big crowd.
When I showed up, the employees were still getting things situated and hanging clothes on racks. And then I spotted it, an employee pulled this very dress out of the box and hung it on a rack! I was so excited! It was time to get our shop on and I went straight for this dress. Remember, I move a little slower than others these days so by the time I got to the rack there were girls everyone. But I nicely asked, excuse me please and pulled the dress out. There wasn't a price tag on it but the owner had been saying we are willing to bargain, which I am horrible at. But I was hoping she would have mercy on a pregnant woman and she did! I scored it for $10.00!!! Thats 1/4 of what it cost!
I also got another dress for $10 and two purses (big ones!) for $3 a piece!!! I would say thats a great shopping trip!
