February Recap....

I spent most of my time and energy in February preparing for my ski trip to Whistler, BC.  This meant that I spent most of my time searching for snow friendly clothing for the family.  I did however buy a fantastic faux fur jacket that when wearing it you feel like you are wrapped in a blanket (I call it my pimp coat).  I picked up that find for a whopping $39.97.  The coat was altered and then the customer didn't like the alterations so they wouldn't buy it and I purchased it for a steal!  

I bought a charcoal colored wool hoodie sweater from Vince www.vince.com on clearance in the men's department (too cute to care which department I was in) that I proceeded to shove into the washing machine on accident and it came out of the dryer sized for a little person....thankfully I only spent $22 on it!

I also purchased, on the last day of February, a Missoni scarf.  This scarf can be worn as a scarf, a poncho, or a wrap.  This was on sale for $101.00. 

A look I have been seeing and one that intrigues me is sequined sweatshirts.  I love the contradiction of fancy mixed with casual and I have been keeping my eyes open for one.  I passed the Forever 21 window display and lo and behold there it was for $24.80, gleaming like a disco ball!  Forever 21 is a fun store for silly, trendy things that you won't be wearing for years to come.  Another little factoid about Forever 21 www.forever21.com  is that this brand is a best seller at Crossroads Trading Company www.crossroadstrading.com.  I was not so excited to hear that as I walked in to Crossroads with my bags of designer labels to sell, but it all turned out well when I walked out with a check for $200+.

Anyhow, that was it for February and all of it for under $300!  On to March....
