I know it’s July and clearance is in full swing, but I’m just not feeling it. I don’t need anything.
I can’t believe I just said that.
I have been extremely happy with all of my purchases this season and have enjoyed wearing it all. And that is not always the case. I have been known to make errors in judgement. Usually concerning my hindquarters.
I did have Capri Deb take home a couple of pairs of carpi’s to customize for me. Because apparently, just above my hindquarters, I am very small. That sounds nicer to me than saying below my waist , I am evidently abnormally large.
Anyway, it is a dream come true to have my own personal tailor to cover up those superficial imperfections. I highly recommend it! Thanks Capri Deb!
So onto the 3 bargains.
First up, a top for Mousey. Found while shopping at Marshall’s with Capri P. I wondered why it had been marked down to $3.00 until I turned it around and saw what looked like coffee spilled on the back. I was pretty sure that my finely honed laundry skills could handle that. They could.
Next up was also for Mousey. She found this when I was making a return at J.C. Penney. She thought it was $5.00, but when we got to the register, it was $2.99. Even better!
And lastly, a bargain for Capri K. ! Found at Marshall’s for $25.00. I’m not sure what the original price was, but the price was not the biggest value for me anyway.
I needed a pair of shoes to go to Capri P.’s daughter Erin’s wedding in August. I had already found a dress. Very cute and reasonably priced, but not really a bargain. Dress shoes are a bit more problematic, as Honey and I are exactly the same height. And I don’t want to feel like a lummox towering over him in high heels. I also felt that my Bare Traps were WAY too casual. I thought these were perfect! Black patent leather, very small wedge heel, and a little bling for fun!
I will show you the whole ensemble after the wedding. It should be so much fun! The reception is on a yacht! Plus, the Schmenkman’s are coming up from Virginia to attend, WOO HOO!!!!!!!

I am very fortunate to have my own personal hairstylist, who includes going to lunch and shopping with just about every haircut. Very cute bargains.

Very cute! I might need to borrow your seamstress when I get there cuz I tried my dress on yesterday and it has become a bit loose!!

Love the Blingy sandals & can’t wait to see the ensemble. Maybe with your skill & shopping prowess there’s a way to dress up the hobo pants-now-shorts?

Is it bad luck to see the wedding attendee before the wedding as well as the bride? Is that why we have to wait until after the wedding?
