Not dead or missing or married or pregnant.
Promise.
Will get back to being single-gal-about-town just as soon as I have a moment or two to spare.
Did some great shopping this weekend. J. Vincent black platforms with an ankle strap, regularly $160, I paid $40. Gianni Bini red kittenish-heel shoes, regularly $70, I paid $17. Faux-wrap black dress with a cute pattern, regularly $90, I paid $45.
I have high, high hopes for this dress, though. I don’t know why, but I feel insanely sexy in it and have tried it on twice since I brought it home, spinning around and debating if it showed too much cleavage. (And I was only tipsy one of those times!)
Saturday night over a glass of wine, Southern Belle and I discussed our shopping successes of the weekend, as one of the department stores here is having not only a great sale, but also a Clinique Bonus. (As a side note, apparently every blue-eyed girl in my town rushed out and bought up all of the BadGal Blue, which just broke my little blue-eyed girl heart.)
“So, we have to do a fun night out soon. We should go out downtown to [The Wine Bar]. It’s been awhile,” I said. “I bought a dress that I’m saving for a night like that and it is either really cute or really slutty.”
“Well,” Southern Belle said, with a sly grin on her face. “Either way works.”
“I mean, it is no sluttier than anything else I own, I guess,” I said.
“Well then! It’s perfect.”
I wondered what happened to you, glad you’re blogging again! You got some great bargains; love hearing good bargains stories!
Missed you- good to know you’re back! And oh wow, those are AMAZING deals- I love getting deals like this when I go shopping, so I bet it put a grin on your face for a long time. . .
Dress sounds hugely promising. . .
Ohhh!! I know the joy of getting expensive stuff cheaper. Yay for that. And thanks for checking in. I was wondering where you were.
Good to hear C, hopefully work is going fine too & keeping you more than busy. Me, I dropped about 5-600 on art this weekend. (Many for gifts). The amusing thing is that by now most of the artists in town know me, so I get good discounts for ‘volume’. The sad thing is realizing those that don’t know me, don’t fall for this ploy, and I buy less from them upon just meeting them for the first time. It cost the last fellow I met at an arts festival today close to a C note too. Good stuff & I appreciate it, but if you can’t even do a cash discount for someone walking away with potentially one of your biggest sales of the day, well then maybe next year, right? But I was surprised, you can usually find something to come away with that’s interesting. Even amongst all the schlock. But there’s plenty of that around too. Cheers & Good Luck, ‘VJ’
Haven’t been around for a long time and since last time i have changed my blog site so i am glad i have yours sent by email.
Which department store has all of those fabolous things on sales because you just got a whole caboodle of stuff for under half the price - AMAZING!
Hope you get to wear your dress out soon - if a guy thinks your too slutty in it then it is because he can’t get you!
So just go with the sexy feel!!!!
Well i will be back!
Take care

Yeay for hot deals and sexy shoes.
You must wear that dress out.. must must must! And where, bychance, did you score such great deals. Thx for the tip on BadGalBlue… will have to check it out…
Hey there!
You might not remember me but your blog was one of the first dating blogs I stopped by when I started blogging. Well, I have finished my blog so I just wanted to say hi and thank you for being an inspiration. Much of the traffic I got came from your blogroll! THANK YOU. In anycase, I wish you the best of luck in the future! You are a blogger rolemodel.
GOOD LUCK!
*glomp* Glad things are well.
Glad to see you’re still ‘kickin! Come back soon, there’s a distinctive lack of witty bon-mots in my life of late…
I’m a terrible shopper. Clearly I need to make more friends like you.
Sooo…got any plans this weekend?
there’s no such thing as too much cleavage
cool to hear about your awesome shopping excursion. love those!
Glad to see you’re back.
We missed you!
Im glad others are enjoying end of season sales. I just hit up macy’s myself. I got to bath myself in ralph lauren
Oh and on the upside I was told by several men that a woman in any dress is much more attractive than a woman in pants. I guess old traditions die hard. But of course in a dress you get to twirl so I dont mind the stereotype.
I love kitten heels! Any chance of photographs of the shoes?
i’m going shopping tonight! i can’t wait to buy something NEW!!!
YAY!!!
and now 2 people have told me about Bad Gal, so i HAVE to try it.
that mascara sounds sweet. methinks these blue eyes need to find some. wicked great deals you found- im jealous!
Just found this blog! Hope you had a fun night out, can’t wait to read about it.
I love wrap dresses!
Just started reading your blog with great enjoyment! I hope you keep posting. Great haul from that shopping trip!
Everyone needs at least one sexy dress. Congrats.
