Today I visited a couple of my favorite places to shop and got some good shit! The first is the thrift store that my mom manages where I bought the bag. Only $12!! Bargain forever! I really needed a big tote hoarder bag so I can hoard stuff when I go out to town. I want to shove my jacket, a water bottle, a book, my camera, pretty much everything in my purse sometimes and it is hard with my tiny purses.
The second was Ross. I love Ross and TJMaxx. They both have a lot of designer or like semi-designer clothes and accessories. They also have a lot of random electronic stuff. I bought a set of really good earphones from TJMaxx before I moved to Uppsala for like 14 bucks! But Ross is like the dirtier version of TJMaxx. Really good finds but sometimes it is really hard to shop there because it is like a mess. I usually like TJMaxx more because they have a bigger selection and the store is cleaner. But Ross does have a lot of gems for a lot cheaper that TJMaxx doesn’t have. So today I decided to try my luck with Ross and bought a great bathing suit marked down from $120, probably MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price–never the actual price, always marked down to make you feel better), to $14.99. BARGAIN.
With my body type I don’t look modelesque in a bikini. I want to enjoy my time at the pool or beach; I don’t want to spend my time freaking out about how my stomach looks. Solution: 1 piece. And I think they are flattering and really stylish.
I also bought the dress. Perfect cover-up. I just saw it in the store and couldn’t take my eyes off of it. It is like a really flowey maxi-dress…almost romanesque. Marked down from $20 to $8. Not a huge savings like the bathing suit but still pretty awesome. I love buying shit for super cheap.
All three of these things are going to be perfect for my weekend trip with my friends and boyfriend to Palm Springs to hang out in some 110 F weather poolside!!
Perfect!
