Yay for Shopping!

So I really don’t do much shopping any more.  Not that I don’t absolutely love shopping…because I do…I just try to limit myself.  So one of my favorite places to shop these days is Kohl’s.  I never really liked Kohl’s…but over the past few years…it’s slowly risen to the top of my “must shop” list.  This is partially due to the fact that I now have a home that I like to fill with decorations (which Kohl’s has).  This is also due to the fact that Vera Wang came out with a line of clothes there.  Regularly priced…they’re still way out of my budget.  (Seriously…this is Kohl’s…nobody wants to pay $200 for a dress here!)  Either way…fortunately Kohl’s always has great sales and great Clearance racks.  So my new mission is to find great Vera Wang pieces for my wardrobe this way.  I’ve gotten several tops and dresses recently that were all priced under $10 a piece….some under $5!  Now that’s a bargain!  I also made a stop at Target last night…and picked up a few things there off the wonderful land of clearance racks.  The best purchase of the night…a new winter coat and matching scarf and hat.  It’s super cute…and thanks so some uber clearance deals…I got the coat and hat and scarf for well under $50.  So I was pumped to pick up a few new things so I could spruce up the ol’ wardrobe a bit.  Now I just need to clean out my closet a bit more.  I had a major clean out session this past summer….but I know there’s still more stuff in there that needs to go.  It’s all getting stashed up for a yard sale this spring.  So far…3 tubs of clothes are ready to go!  (Yes…I know that’s a lot of clothes…but I’ve been wearing basically the same size since early high school…and I have issues with getting rid of things!)  So anyway…moral of the story is to go check out the clearance racks at Target and Kohl’s…you might find some super-great deals!
