Good deals

So I recently discovered the awesomeness - or maybe the dangerousness - of the website Zulily.com.  I had heard of it once before I was ever pregnant and actually was getting the emails for awhile, because they have good deals for everyone, not just moms.  But then I thought, ok, I'm not using this, I'm going to unsubscribe. I ended up re-subscribing after getting pregnant and a few weeks ago, decided to make an order.  They had some nursing bras on sale and then I couldn't help but order this super cute shirt too.  The total cost wasn't bad at all and way under regular retail.

The only downside is, you have to wait until the "deal" is over before they'll process your order and ship your items.  So, I think I waited three weeks to get this stuff - but it was worth it.  I adore this shirt.  It's so soft and super comfy.  And of course - it has orange and we all know how much I love orange!

Apparently I'm practicing my flamingo pose in the above picture!  I assure you my leg was not amputated!  I think my leg was actually on the stair behind me.  Oops!

There are honestly so many other items I've seen in my daily Zulily emails that I've had to just pass up or I'd go broke.  There are good deals to be had, but you can't buy everything!  Have any of you ever ordered anything from Zulily?

Surprise of a deal

 I did a little thrift shopping over the week I was off because that is just what I do.  I went to my favorite little consignment shop Clothes Mentor because they were advertising 50% off winter items.  I ended up not buying anything that was marked down, but their prices are good even without that.

So anyway, I have talked a little about Clothes Mentor before, but if you're not familiar with them, they buy gently used name brand clothing - anything from Old Navy and Gap all the way up to Designer brands like Seven for All Mankind and even Coach bags and things like that.  When I shop there I try not to pay too much attention to the brands, it doesn't matter what they are as long as it fits well and I feel like I'm getting a good deal.  So I found these cute pants and they were a nice price, they fit nicely and I brought them home, never once really paying attention to the tag.

I get them ready to be washed and take the Clothes Mentor tag off and then notice that I ended up getting a really good deal because the original price tag was still on them as well.  And then I looked at the actual tag and got a really fun surprise - these pants are from Anthropologie!  May not seem like a big deal, but let's just say the prices at Anthropologie are not something I can just easily dish out, so the fact that I got these pants with original price tags just makes me beyond excited.

Aren't they cute?  They are so different from other pants in my closet right now.  I love the piping on the legs and the button detail.  I took a close up so you could see more of the detail, seen in picture below.

It was a fun surprise for me!  Now I can pretend that I bought them in the real live store and that I can actually afford things like Anthropologie new.  Ha ha.

In other news, I have a link to my Facebook page at the right now, no pressure, it's just another way to connect, so feel free to "Like" my page on Facebook if you wish.  

Hope you are all having a great week, we're halfway through!
