A Spree of Shopping!

A girl's dream :) It actually came true for me today, I had a wonderful gift certificate to Macy's that I needed to use up, so the hubby and I headed on over for a mini shopping spree! WEE!

I'll start with the shockingly priced piece. Now...disclosure...you know how Stacey & Clinton (from What Not To Wear) always say to spend a little more money on a piece that fits correctly, than spending less on a piece that doesn't!? Well, I blame them :)

They also say you should have three to four quality jackets that really bring out your figure and cover up the bad stuff. Thus the goal of today's shopping!

I bought this Tommy Hilfiger Denim Jacket at Macy's for...$79.50. I know, I know...your jaws are dropping in disgust. But, it really is the best fit for me, it hugs at the waist and it's a nice light color that can be dressed up or dressed down. I dig it :)

Now, with my gift card, I put $40.00 towards this $45.00 Charter Club jacket. Folks, if you really like a classy look, the Charter Club brand really has a lot of good items. Only sold at Macy's. Total money out of pocket - $5.00. Bring those jaws back up!!
Then, I found this absolutely adorable cardigan (again, Charter Club) and HAD TO HAVE IT. The material is almost jersey-like, and I really like the print...it's different. This piece cost $29.99. Not too bad.
Here's a close-up of the print...what do you think?!
And there ends my shopping spree for today (this month). I think I got some really cute items, I'm super stoked! Total money spent out of pocket today: $114.49.

GOOD NEWS! The banks have accepted our offer for the house that we want, so we should be getting the contract on Tuesday. SO EXCITED to really get underway with this. No more sitting and waiting :)

So, since things are going well in that department, I've been thinking about getting a new master bedroom bedding...I found this 12-piece Bed-In-A-Bag for only $149.99. Now, the hubby convinced me to not get it just yet, but I fell in love pretty quickly. The 12-pieces even included the decorative pillows, which are usually atleast $35.00 alone! So, this really was a steal.
I controlled myself for tonight, but...I may just have to go back and get it. I'll keep you all informed ;)

Here's a sweet picture of our Brody who's saying "Happy Valentine's Day!" to all of you, blogger friends!
Hope it's a great one!

PS - I'm going to update this post later today and let you all know where we decided to go for our Valentine's dinner...so, remember...go to the post below and comment. Tell us where you think we should go!
