I Love End of Season Sales!

As promised, I am going to share my amazing finds with you from last nights shopping trip.  I figured there should be plenty of sales for end of season clothing.  I was right.  Before I share my amazing scores with you, I have a rant.  Since when did all of the latest fashions turn into sacks?  I tried on several things things at Younkers, and they all looked like gigantic bags on me.  If I wanted something totally shapeless, I would wear a garbage bag and tie a rope around the middle.  I wasn't a fan.  After being thoroughly disappointed, I moved on to Eddie Bauer, one of my favorite stand by stores.  I also enjoy Lands End, but after cruising their website the other night, I didn't find anything I couldn't live without. 

I saw on Eddie Bauer's website earlier in the day that they were having a buy one get one 50% sale on their jeans.  I am always on the hunt for a pair of jeans that fit.  Enter other rant re: pants shopping.  I HATE shopping for pants.  My hips and waist and thighs and rear just are not proportional at all.  If I find a pair of pants to fit my thighs and hips, they are huge on my waist.  I have never been one for jeans that make me look like a stuffed sausage.  Some of you might be thinking duh lady, just get a bigger size if you don't want them suctioned to your thighs.  All well in theory, but not in practice.  Even the trouser jeans I tried on last night, which I thought would have a wider leg and mean they weren't suctioned to my thighs, were still suctioned to my thighs.  All in all it was depressing.  I'm not knocking Eddie Bauer on their jeans, they just re-did their jeans to be better for women, I think every company has the same issue.  I feel like jeans for the "curvy" figure aren't curvy enough.  I would much prefer dress pants, their legs are made wider.  Rant over, now onto the bargains.

Rather then stay depressed about not finding pants to fit, I found several new shirts!

Shirt #1 Original price $44.95-- my price $ 17.50

Shirt #2 Original price $39.95--- my price $15.00

Shirt #3 Original price $44.95--- my price $ 5.61

Shirt #4 Original Price $44.95--- my price $ 17. 50

Shirt #5 Original Price $19.95 --- my price $ 7.49

My only pants purchase of the night...

Original price $ 79.95 ... my price $15.00

All in all, a good night shopping.  A total of five shirts and one pair of pants for $80.00.  The t-shirts I will wear all year and just throw on some sweaters over the top.  Now I am off to look for some awesome new scarves.  Off to etsy I go!  Tomorrow I will share the recipe of the week, upside down ravioli.
