Tonight I went shopping after work, hitting the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. I like to think of it as doing my part to help the economy. I did quite well, too. I picked up a present I had in mind for someone for $5 less than I had seen it listed at another store. Sadly, Smashbox has discontinued the foundation I like, so I've switched to tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. We'll see how it goes. The all-star purchase of the night was a beautiful new pair of black Cole Haan boots which I got for 40% off. I love buying boots, and I love buying discounted boots even more! Now I just need to find a decent pair of loafers. I don't want patent, I don't want a crocodile pattern, and I don't want loafers that are completely flat. I'm short. I need a little heel.
After the mall I stopped by Linens and Things, which is going out of business. I had high hopes of scoring some bargain towels and sheets, but the place had been totally picked over. All they had left were the ugly colors, and on top of that, they were only discounting sheets and towels by 20%. I was looking to get a deal on high thread count sheets, but they were still ridiculously expensive. I bought some "irregular" high thread counts sheets at the outlet mall one time and got addicted to how soft they are. But damn, they aren't cheap. Anyway, Linens and Things was a huge disappointment to me. I can (and will) do better at Target.
Still, I'm delighted with my new boots, and I've purchased the first Christmas present of the season. Not bad for a rainy Friday night.
I don't have expensive tasts in anything that I can think of except sheets. I will take generic on just about anything...except sheets and I love me some high thread count sheets.....
