Does anyone else love the fashion segment where they show an outfit and share the savings for each piece or tell where you can duplicate it for 1/4 of the price? I think its fun when you can pull together an outfit for a bargain and plus have pieces that you will wear a lot. My math tends to think in what I have saved rather than what I've spent! So, here's my outfit for the day that includes some items I will wear again and again:
Black earrings (regularly 24.99 - I usually don't like to spend much for earrings because I lose them too often) -- $3.99 at Ann Taylor (you know the fun sales where they are marked down, then you taken an extra mark down and then you have a fabulous coupon and then you have a birthday discount on top of it!); Dog Scarf - gift to Pantera that I now wear (special and priceless); My long sleeve black shade that I wear almost daily when its cold - on sale for $9. I have worn it with everything this cold winter.Tan Ann Taylor Coat
Regular price: $188. I bought it for $37.08. It is really fun for the sale price. Its a classic I will wear a lot.
Red Gloves: Regular price: $14.99 (AT sale)= $4.99. They are the fun ones that go up to your elbow and you scrunch down. Black Boots: Bass buy one pair, get two pair free. Promise! It was an awesome sale and I have loved all three pair. So, all three pair = $109. Skinny Jeans from Banana Republic - they were 25% off. I love them and have been wearing them again and again so I think I'm getting my money's worth.
One guide dog = priceless.
Hope you had a great 3-day weekend. Back to work on Tuesday that seems like a Monday.
Kristine Carlson in her book Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Women states: "Close your eyes and contemplate what you are feeling. Try dressing yourself intuitively, and express yourself each day by making sure your choice coincides with your mood." I do that each morning (don't have to close my eyes, however)!

I agree that Cricket is priceless!!
Guide Dogs recently sent out a list of statistics in an e-Bark email. It said that the cost of a guide dog team exceeds $65,000. It's hard to beat that kind of discount!
I have been a little down recently and, believe it or not, this post made my day. I have wanted new levi's and didn't have the umph or money to go shopping. I think I will head out tomorrow to the Gateway. Thanks for being such an inspiration to me.
Mimi; Thank you for your comment. It is truly incredible isn't it! I am grateful each day for all who contributed so I can walk safely down the street and lead an independent life.
Valerie; Super good to hear from you. I hope you have a wonderful time at Gateway tomorrow ... yes, let's get together soon.
I always love your outfits & I share your passion in finding a good bargain. Yes, Cricket is priceless, there's no doubt about that!!
Cute outfit...I need you for my personal shopper! :-) Ha! I'm the same way, love a great deal! ...And you're right, Cricket's priceless. :-)
I have never been inside an Ann Taylor. But I have a consignment shop I can walk to. Mirage doesn't care for shopping and frequently has to step outside to relieve while I shop!
But I find treasures on the $2.00 rack. And yesterday a pair of new black slacks with a tiny pin stripe ( size 6) doe half price. $9.00
Anytime I want to lift my spirits I can drop a few bucks at the end of this nice walk with Mirage.
You are such a sharp dresser Becky!
