It's a rare day when Banana Republic is having a good sale AND I have gift cards to spend there! And credits from returns!

So, today I went to Gap and BR and went CRAZYBANANAS!!! Hey, it's other peoples' money, not mine!

I got:
-4!!! new sweaters
-A new pair of dress pants (That would be $98 marked down to $35!)
-2 tanks to layer with things
-A jacket/blazer (whatever you want to call it, but it's cute!)
-2 long sleeve t's in really pretty colors

I'm really excited for my Barnes and Noble gift cards and my Petsmart ones!

Anyone else get anything exciting at the sales??? I wanna hear about it!

I went shopping with my gift card at Pottery Barn... I wasn't lucky enough to have selected things that were on sale though
Sounds like you did great!


I did, however, buy a wine rack that sits on the kitchen counter that I have had my eye on. It was a little too expensive for me to buy with my own money, but I splurge a little more with gift cards

Awww! No gift cards? Well I asked for gifts not gift cards but people still managed to give me gift cards. last year $$ and gift cards made my christmas sooo generic


I went to Kohls today (its a department store like a cheaper Macys) and got:
1 tee shirt
1 pair of pink work out shorts
some jammy bottoms for my new years sleep over
and with my Kohls gift card I bought new gym shoes.
I looked in the womens sections FOREVER and the three pairs I thought i might liked ended up having NO SIZE SMALL ENOUGH!! they smallest in most sizes were a 7. I am a 6 or a 5 in kids.
I ended up going to the little girls section and the two choices i had that were OKAY were white with pinks or gray with pinks....It looks like Barbie threw up on my feet
. I bought them for like $35. Since i go through shoes fast no reason to spend an arm and leg on them.
now you can see why I bought the pink work out shorts...
