Hi, Happy Saturday.
Do you go shopping in the January sales? Do you ever get anything really good? What was your worst "It's on sale, I'll take it!" decision ever?
I try to avoid the sales because I really hate crowded places. I'm also not good at making quick decisions when I shop. If I'm going to buy something that isn't on my regular grocery shopping list I usually go back to visit the thing a few time. Just to make sure I want it as much the next time I see it.
The best thing I ever got on sale was a huge Bodyshop gift basket full of soaps and shower gels and body lotions, 25% off. I love that kind of stuff
My worst sale decision ever was a floor length, halter-neck 70's style dress with a purple and blue swirly pattern all over it. Kind of like this.
I needed something to wear to my Brother-in law's wedding. Tried it on and thought, "Yeah, this will do." When I got it home I showed my MIL and she went very pale, then pulled Mr Husband aside and whispered at him furiously. Turns out the wedding was going to be a very formal affair and I was expected to wear black.
I couldn't get a refund on the dress either, as it was in the sale. I ended up exchanging it for something equally hideous, which I then gave away.
How about you, any sales shopping horror stories?
