Getting something for a great deal or on super-sale is definitely one of my favorite feelings in the world. I always feel so frugal and resourceful! Ever since my mom starting seriously cutting coupons and planning out shopping trips to spend as little as possible, I hate paying full price for anything. It's not that I'm cheap (ok, maybe a little) but I spend a lot more time weighing my decisions - to buy, or not to buy. I have to really, really love something to be willing to pay full price (if that's anywhere over twenty.) Of course I have my weaknesses... dresses especially. Somehow $50 for a dress isn't as bad as $20 for shoes? I'm not sure... Anyway I found plenty of sales today and just had to share (I'm rather proud when I manage to save a bunch.)
This pair of Keds was originally $50 but I paid half that! I love Keds because they're soooo comfy, not to mention they look sort of like (use your imagination) these Sperry's that are $75. I've been jonesing for a pair of Sperry's forever and these are close enough for me to be a very happy camper.

This graphic eye mask from Urban Outfitters was marked down from $22 to only $4.99... sweet! Sometimes my room gets blindingly bright in the morning so I've been wanting a cute eye mask for a while, however I couldn't justify spending tons of money on one (I mean, my arm can do the same thing for free, right?) Another feeling I love is finding something you want/ need at a price you can actually afford.
Normally I can't get out of Urban Outfitters without emptying my wallet but today I left with three things for less than $15 which is probably the least I have ever spent there. Needless to say, I'm very proud.
