Hi everyone,
I know it has been a verrrrry long time since I last posted
on the blog, but I have been sooo incredibly busy with assignments and revision
for exams at school. Luckily I only have 3 exams this term! Anyway, last
Saturday I went to a Lorna Jane warehouse sale where they sell old stock that
didn’t make it to the stores as my cousin works at Lorna Jane with Marketing,
so she helped make all the advertising for it. Also, it was a lot cheaper than
buying them in store. I bought three items and they totaled $130 (I miscounted
the cost as I thought it was worth $90, but it was still quite cheap compared
to in-store prices).
The first item I got was the Celeste sports bra. I really
like the sort of lacy detailing around the edges (and the fact that the padding
makes me look absolutely stacked – did I just say that on the internet?). It is
a really pretty sky blue and I am going to use it for dance and running, that I
do on Saturday mornings. It is called parkrun and I might tell you more about
it soon. The bra cost me $40 and would have ordinarily been $65.99, so that is a
saving of $25.99 or about 40%.
The next item I bought were Hidden Tropicana tights. They go
all the way to my ankles and on the inside, the top bit is all tropical (hence
Hidden Tropicana). Oh, and are they tight!
I could almost not get them off! They are really nice and I will use
them for running in the colder months, as it is getting into winter now. They
were the killer for my wallet at $60, but would have ordinarily have cost
$99.95. That is a saving of $39.95 or about 40%.
The last item I bought was a Sabotage Excel Tank top. It is so
nice and breathable. It has a four-way elastic thing on the back which looks
cool and stretches at the same time! I love the colour scheme of it and I will
probably use this for running in the colder months, as it is nice to feel
colder when you are running. I bought these for $30, but they would have
normally been $65.99. That is a saving of $35.99 or about 55%.
The cost of the items I bought if they weren't marked down would have been $231.93. Overall I made a saving of $101.93 or about 44%. This
makes me really happy and really excited for the nest warehouse sale as they
still have way too much stock, apparently. It also makes me feel like applying
for a job so that I can keep affording them, even thought they are marked down
considerably. I want to be able to just about drown in Lorna Jane stuff,
basically. Haha, not really. That would cost a lot.
Anyway, I should get going now, you may see more frequent
posts on here as I have so many days off from exams its not funny. I have about
5 days, which is a really good opportunity to get writing for the blog because
I feel like I have neglected it a lot, but my main priority is school at the
moment.
Bye!
