icky icky

sometimes you just have one of those days, you know? i mean, it wasn't awful. it just wasn't good. but since i'm trying to model my life after Poppy from 'Happy-Go-Lucky', i'm going to try to giggle it off and focus on the happy.

this morning i went to the corporate store (its open wednesday mornings and friday afternoons). i resisted the first time kristy asked me, but then i caved when i heard they had new dresses. as it turns out, they have this maxi dress in two different colors that are actually IN fossil stores now. for $3 (it retails for $78). i should be jumping for joy, right? well...yes and no. see, on the day that we got 50% off at one of the local fossil stores, i went in and bought one of the colors - for $40, thinking i got a GREAT deal. then i go to the corporate store not one month later and it's on the rack for $3!  did i buy the second color? yes. am i a little pissed that i paid $40 for the other one? of course.

to any non-fossil person, i sound like a huge brat i'm sure. we really are super lucky not only to get great deals all the time, but to be able to walk downstairs and go shopping twice a week for great merchandise. but i've become desensitized. when i look at a bag that retails for $350 and they sell it in the corporate store for $75, i scoff and refuse to look at it again until they mark it down to $50. i get PISSED when i buy something for full price...well, sort of....and then i see it for 3 bucks. grrr...

i suppose if you average the two costs of the dresses, they average out to $20 each. that ain't bad. but it SHOULD have been $6 total....

now i'm off to read until the american idol results show is over so i can start it and fast forward the parts i don't like :) go kris allen!
