Stir Crazy on Day 14

Your Fancy Notecards, $4.99

So I knew I was teetering close to the edge when I contemplated buying $9 plaid tops at Wal-Mart on a grocery run this weekend...I am on Day #14 and what is the hardest day so far.

But then I hit UrbanOutfitters.com on my daily internet fashion fix (since I am staying verrrry far from the mall) and discovered their under $5 sale. Yep, under $5. 3 pages of items under $5.

It's a very sad day, because I would have filled my shopping cart with not only the cute as a button notecard above, but these sweet finds as well:

rosary necklace, $4.99

wildlife plate, $4.99

My Favorite Time of Year

...is when retailers change seasons. Summer to Back to School/Fall usually happens in July, when its getting hot enough to really wear all those tanks, minis, and espadrilles...Winter to spring usually happens right as its finally chilling out in the South...and my favorite, spring to summer, happens just as the winter chill breaks (most years, anyway)I unexpectedly happened upon the first (great) spring to summer transition sale....and retailers are obviously hurting because they are practically giving some of this stuff away!

Old Navy is currently featuring 75% off their lowest price on marked down items. I got an adorable navy blue cardigan printed with hot pink flowers for $5, marked down from $29.50! I couldn't find the picture on the website, but I did find some other items you might be able to find in (one of) your local stores: (I can't gurantee pricing/availabilty, but you get the idea)

Ruffle trim top, $19.99 (oldnavy.com) I didn't see this one, but I will be looking for it everywhere I can...adorable!

Yellow twill blazer, $24.99(Oldnavy.com) I didn't see this in the store either or I would've snatched it up in navy ($12.99) or khaki ($24.99 also)

metallic ballet flat, $12.99 (oldnavy.com...not featuring the 75% off on the website, so it will probably be less in store) I saw these at the one in Milwaukee...sooo cute but they didn't have my size.
