happy days

i can't believe it's been almost an entire month since my last post--much has happened. i'm headed off to work in just a few moments, so here's a story for the road.

as many of you know, i do not like to shop very often. last night, though, i stepped inside a department store while i waited for a friend to meet me for dinner. i felt totally out of place. Actually, i couldn't remember the last time i was in a department store. see, whenever i feel the urge to purchase new clothing articles, i generally wander into a consignment shop.

so there i was, aimlessly and awkwardly meandering through designer labels when i spotted a shirt that marginally appealed to me. $70. what the...?


you've got to be kidding.

anyway i looked through the rack because i had time to kill. i noticed that one of these $70 shirts actually had a tag that said $34. i decided to try it on.


i liked it. i figured i'd treat myself.

the woman at the register proved to be totally incompetent/new. this worked in my favor. the shirt rang up at $17. still pricey for me...but when you think about it, i basically got a non-sale item for 75% off. not too shabby...



high ho, high ho. off to work.
