Oh Kohls, how I love thee! The girls and I made a trip to Kohls yesterday to return an outfit that we were very disappointed in. And were SO excited to learn that they had just put almost all of their sets onto the 50-75% off rack! The girls each got a new outfit – cost me $15. They woke up quite cheery this morning and for once didn’t lag getting dressed. Since Maddie’s outfit is mostly black, when she asked what shoes to wear with it, I was stumped because she didn’t have a black pair of shoes. We recently got Lexi a pair at Target (clearance for $4) but Lexi’s foot is a size bigger so she couldn’t even borrow those. When I mentioned to Joe I should’ve bought Maddie a pair, he just rolled his eyes and told me I should run right out today and get her a pair. Well, I obliged…with bells on. But alas, the $4 clearance shoes that we got for Lexi were gone so we rummaged through the clearance section and found a super cute pair of black boots for $12. SOLD! Then Lexi decided she “neeeeeeeded” another pair of shoes. I told her if she could find something on the clearance rack for less than $5 we could get them. Alexis Julia is MY child…100%. She’s a shoe hound. We spent almost 30 minutes looking through 2 aisles of shoes. We looked at flats, heels, boots, slips on…you name it, we looked at it. She finally settled on a pair of black patent dress shoes that cost me a whopping $2.48. It was such a good deal that I snuck a pair in the cart in Maddie’s side for school in the fall. And while waiting for Lexi to pick out her shoes, I found these super cute brown boots with buckles on them for $4.98. SCORE! Bought the girls each a pair for school next fall.
Since losing weight, the winter coat that I’ve had for the last 5 or 6 years is way too big. I kind of confiscated Joe’s wool coat that he got at Old Navy last year. He rarely wears it and I was desperate for a coat that fit. It worked in a pinch but it was such thick wool that I had trouble bending my arms to drive! So I’ve been on the lookout for a coat…and since they’re bringing out the swimwear in the stores (WTF is up with that?), I’ve been watching sale racks. I took a peek at the coats on the clearance rack at Target and was pleasantly surprised to find one I liked. Tried it on…and it fit pefectly. Then I noticed that it said “maternity”. I went back and forth with myself on whether to get it or not…and in the end decided to get it. I mean, really does it matter that it says maternity on the tag? Nope, it fit me…it’s really nice and best yet, it only cost me $15.98 (retailed for $59.99). I was also debating on a red wool coat…I liked it a lot! And the kicker - it was only $10! I passed on it and now I’m having buyers remorse big time!!!
