The Thrill of the Hunt

Today marked the first day of my mini-vacay between my old job and my new job which I start on Monday. So I switched my alarm clock off, slept in and kicked off my time off with a little outlet mall shopping (so much for my goal of cleaning out my closet).

I don’t really understand the outlet mall system. Is it stuff that is out of season, irregular or just plain ol stuff that doesn’t sell at regular stores? I don’t know, but if you don’t watch out you wind up paying full price for stuff. 

Just when I was about to give up I ran across a couple of cute day dresses at the ESPIRT shop for under $15 each. I couldn’t resist when they fit and I realized I could walk out the door with them both for 30 bucks. It gets super hot in the summer around here and most of the time pants of any sort just won’t do, so these will be perfect.

The dress above was listed on the ESPIRT Web site for $59.99. I haven’t found any major flaw with my outlet purchase so I guess I just was lucky.
