Karma for My Cheating Ways

Got my package from 6pm.com with my Tsubos. Unfortunately, they are both going back. Per the customer reviews I ordered both pair in my usual size 7.5. One pair was too big and one pair was too small. How is that even possible when they are the same brand? What was even more disappointing is that you can't do an even exchange on 6pm.com, even if they have the item that you need. You have to return your item, get a credit, and repurchase if you want it. I'm not going to because the shoes are no longer on sale, so for instance, to get the green booties in an 8 will cost me an additional $35, not to mention paying to ship the return and then paying for shipping again.

I apologize for the rant, but online shopping is just completely ruined when a site has a poor return policy.

On a brighter note, I have several 30-for-30 outfits to post, they are all patiently waiting on my camera. I also decided to make my own rule, my gold flats are no more. They fell victim to a chewing-prone cat. So I've made the decision to replace them with a different pair of shoes.

To bring some color to this boring-ass post, here is a crappy cell phone picture of our tiny tree and two little holiday cats. The one to the right is the chewer!

Cheater

I must confess, I totally cheated on the 30-for-30 challenge. No, I didn't wear something outside of my 30 items, I shopped! Yes, I did it. I totally bought two pair of shoes today. But I couldn't help it, 6pm.com has Tsubo Shoes for up to 70% off. What's a girl to do? I mean, really, could I sound like more of an addict?

I got the green booties and the nude pumps. I'm most excited for the booties and I really did need a pair of nude pumps (again, total addict rationale). The boots that are in this set are an item I'm still lusting after. I want them SO bad, but they are not as deeply discounted as the two I already purchased. The booties and the pumps were both the full 70% off, but the boots are only 40% off and still slightly over the $100 mark. Oh, what's a girl to do?

*Note, when you mouse over these items they are not all giving the 6pm.com prices so Polyvore is showing them as much more expensive that what I paid today.

Let's Talk About Bags

I am in the market for a new bag. I've picked out several. Let me know what you think.

I really love all three of these bags. I think I have a tough decision ahead of me. I seem to really be into the chains and studding this season.

Clearance Shopping

I was going through my closet the other day and realized I was seriously lacking in the layering tank department. I use to rely heavily on the AE Boyfriend Tank for layering and I still do wear them, like I did with my red sweater, but they can skew a bit to casual sometimes. I have some nice tanks like the one I was wearing yesterday, but I didn't seem to have any that were plain enough to truly be versatile. So I did a little shopping. Some in person at Target while the husband was trying on jeans, you know at his twice-a-year shopping outing. I'm not even kidding, the man shops for himself twice a year, at most. Usually a new pair of jeans, a pair of work pants, a few casual shirts, a few work shirts and a few crossover shirts. That's it! I would never make it.

Sale Shopping by Sara 2579

Back to my shopping, because let's be honest, it's much more interesting. I think it's clear from the polyvore set that I needed some neutrals. I snagged the black lace layering tank and the skinny jeans at Target for $10 each. The other tanks are all from Forever 21 online; four tanks and the embellished tunic for under $40. So I got everything in this set for under $50! I call that shopping success.

Now, I'm challenging myself to not buy any more clothes until the new year. We'll see if I make it.
