This is a Sandwich.
I was all talk earlier when I said I felt “spectacular.” By “spectacular” I meant: “I feel pretty ok right now but then I’m gonna go do yoga in a hundred-degree room and after that I’ll be a worthless pile of hungover turd.”
And so that’s where I am right now. I actually left the 90-minute yoga class 20 minutes early because I just couldn’t take the, uh, heat. Literally. But this didn’t stop me from swinging by Marshall’s next door to the studio for some goodies on the cheap.
I’m not afraid to say that I am the master of bargain store shopping. TJMaxx, Marshall’s, Ross, Goodwill. Bring.it.on. I don’t pay full price for anything. I can root out those diamonds in the rough and walk away with major wins the likes of Coach bags, Betsy Johnson dresses and Seven jeans at crazy discounts. And you better believe I’m not dropping much money while I’m at it. (I don’t have much money to drop, remember?) Working at a “luxury” retail store is funny for me because 1) I can’t afford the clothes I’m selling and 2) I could get all of the following for the price of one item there:
$10 Calvin Klein jeans
$16 wide leg jeans
$30 blue and brown dress
Cat lady dress
HAHAHA cats.
This is not my foray into fashion blogging. That will never happen. I will, however, teach you how to bargain shop. My mom taught me everything I know. If you are so inclined, meet me at TJMaxx with an open mind and about two hours of free time. I’ll make a believer out of you.
After all that rummaging (and finally taking a shower, yes) I started to feel like death and all I wanted in the whole entire world was a sandwich. So that’s what I ate while drooling over David Muir’s newscast.
LOOK at this sexy man.
Whaaaat?
This is what my life has become. Eating sandwiches and stalking sexy news reporters. Please tell me he’s not gay…
What is this post even about?
Oh! Speaking of sandwiches, my friend Sandwich (real name: Lauren; but I’ll never call her that) just started a new blog about her work in India. She’s a fabulous writer and doing amazing world-changing things over there. Check her out at Miss Doubt-Fire.
Me? I’m gonna go Google Image search David Muir…
I need to learn how to bargain shop – I just don’t shop period. Clothing swaps all the way! All those stores make it unfun to shop because everything is unorganized and hard to sift through
I LOVE those white jeans! I also love going to TJ Maxx…you can find so much but you just have to dig
. Plus, a full day of shopping counts as cardio, right??
I was watching abc news last night and thinking the same thing…. I however was not eating an awesome sandwich
haha, I was just telling my husband today how weird/ ironic it is that I am SUCH a bargain hunter and so frugal w/ my meager means in daily life, yet I work at the same “luxury” retail store you do (in Jacksonville, FL). Glad I’m not the only one!
Yay!!! Thanks for the ref! When you get a shoutout from Sweet Tater you KNOW you’ve made it.
For all your readers … Katie ain’t lyin’ about the bargain bin shoppin’. The one time this full-price shmuck went shopping with her at TJMaxx (recommended), I walked away with like 5 new dresses under $20. Charlotte folks, just do it.
I’m the worst shopper. I usually get so annoyed by the lack of organization in those stores I just give up and leave!
I’ve always liked you but now that you bought a cat printed dress, I think I love you! Please be sure to wear the cat patterned dress covered in cat fur. Cat ladies unite!
I want that cat dress!!!
