End of May Sales!

There are a lot of sales going on this weekend. I went to the Eaton Centre and Yorkdale yesterday and bought a lot of new stuff. Banana Republic has a clearance sale right now, French Connection is having a Friends and Family sale with 40% off regular priced items, and of course there are the sale racks of other clothing retailers. So, if you're looking for something for less money, now's the time! In the span of a few days, I picked up some summer flats, 2 jackets, a skirt, a pair of jeans, and 2 shirts.

The good thing about working near the Eaton Centre is you can pass by stores on your lunch break and check out the sales before other people get there! The bad thing is that there is really no time to try anything on or pay for something if you happened to try something on, so in the end, there's no significant advantage except you feel smarter that you knew about a sale before everyone else. Which really is meaningless. Bitter? Yes. I can't help it, I'm waaay too results oriented.

Also, a lot of the times I forget about this: some stores offer price adjustments on clothing you purchased previously. You can bring the receipt in (some also require the item to be brought in as well, but most don't, so you should ask first) within a certain period of time and they will refund the difference in price to you if your item has gone down in price. That's pretty sweet in my opinion. That way you get the best selection and the size you want and the lowest price. The crappy thing is that you have to remember to do it within the time period and sometimes it doesn't change in price. I've only did this twice so far in my life. One time I got 20$ back and the other time I got nothing. Maybe I'll try it again this time... if I remember.

UPDATE on my Benton Chair
A few weeks ago, Bombay also had a sale with 50% off all regular priced items and I was totally ready to buy that "haute couture" chair I was talking about in an earlier post! But I looked at it and there were a lot of runs on the silk fabric of the chair. Silk is not for sitting on I guess. It's more for wearing. Hurumph. Very disappointing. Why must we sacrifice function over aesthetic beauty? WHY?

Little Miss Sunshine!

I feel a little dead inside after today's "mental workout". Good thing I came across these! These t-shirts are so cute!
Reminded me of the movie "Little Miss Sunshine" too. Have you seen it? Huge thumbs up. Makes me wanna dance! :)
