I am a bargain finder when it comes to shopping for apparel. I have a hard time paying full price, even when I know it would be the perfect, gotta have it piece. When it comes to athletic apparel, I have a lot of it. Give a girl a break, I like wearing spandex. I find it extremely comfortable. I find myself post bike race, changing out of a cycling kit and into a different spandex outfit. So, I make an appearance at Dick’s Sporting Goods on occasion, sale rack of course. I got a reward card coupon in the mail today. I swear I should have had many more by now unless a) they get thrown out b) they have been swiped by other people or c) half of the time I tell the cashier to forget looking up my name because it takes so long.
Me? Untouchable? Well thank you. I like getting pep-talks in the mail. However, Untouchable? A different adjective could have been used here. I will consider it to be recognition of awesomeness!
On the topic of sale racks and bargain shopping, I ran into some spectacular deals today. I bought an Alice + Olivia Tiffany dress at 70% off; fits like a glove. I bought an Elizabeth and James chamomile silk blouse at 98% off. I probably skipped out the store after finding these gems.
I don’t know why, but wearing something that I got a great deal on feels so much more amazing than something I paid a full price for. It makes me feel like I found buried treasure or won a scavenger hunt trophy.
