Friday Fasting Update: Week- WHO CARES?
Alright, I’m embracing a new tactic, so as to make sure my updates don’t get boring. I thought that I would show you some of the things that I would buy, if I weren’t on this fast. And broke. Whatever.
Okay, so here is an adorable cowlneck belted dress from Banana Republic that retails for $130. I would totally wear this to work with heels and then out with the hubby with tall black boots.
Next we have another belted dress in black, again from Banana. This one is a trench style dress that would make me feel like a spy/executive. Who could ask for a better mix? Price = $225.
For a more casual look we have this fantastic silk shirt that is paired here with jeans and a really great necklace (both Banana). I think accessories make the outfit, more people should embrace them. The shirt is $69 and the necklace is on sale for $29 (aka practically free).
Our last Banana item is this amazing camel colored sweater dress shown here with brown tights and knee high brown boots. I think this one is my favorite because I even like the models’ hair. Plus, tights are so hot right now and I’ve been looking for an excuse to wear them. Dress is $110 and the boots are $250 (ouch!).
On to more casual wear, I’m gonna need this coat from Old Navy for the winter – don’t you love the color? Old Navy calls it “Siberian blue” but I call it “will look yummy with my hair color blue.” Best part? It is Old Navy so it only costs $89.
I am also really grooving on this little hoodie from Old Navy. Once again they get the color wrong, they call it Spinach and I call it Fall’s best green. I really should write for these websites. Price? $16 (again practically free).
While the Abercrombie website is practically pornography, I did stop by long enough to “heart” this little navy blue shirt that would look adorable with some chino’s and ballet flats. It is $69.
Oh man, I found the chino’s too! How cute are these? And they are only $59!
Alright, I will stop there. Let’s see what our total is so far:
Cowlneck dress 130
Belted dress 225
Silk shirt 69
Necklace 29
Sweater dress 110
Boots 250
Jacket 89
Hoodie 16
Pintuck shirt 69
Chino’s 59
Total $1046
But let’s be honest, I have 30% off coupon for these items because I am a super great deal getter.
Total $1046
Less 30% 313
New total $733
Plus tax (7%) $52
GRAND TOTAL = $785
Not bad for a day’s work people. This is how you shop like a champion. Any questions?
I think mental shopping is still kinda shopping. You even mentally tallied in your coupon! You are at one of the stages of grief… bargaining. Who doesnt like a bargain though,really? Shop on!
First off I am totally impressed by how much you saved…..second is I loved the jacket from Old Navy. Funny thing is that I went on their website and could not find it!!!
When are we going to have a play date????
I about fell out of my chair seeing how much money you would have spent on clothes! One thing is for sure, you would be fashionable.
Ooooooo very cute stuff!
