four cards later.

after dinner with family on saturday, we took a peek in old navy since our car was parked in front of the store. nothing really excited me, but i had a few gift cards, so i grabbed a few things (most of which were on clearance) and headed for the checkout. four gift cards later, i still had to pay. when i got home, i noticed that the price for this shirt was originally $29, red tagged at $25 and called clearance.
hardly a clearance price, if you ask me.

i love the shirt, nonetheless...it's one of those collared, button down types that i like, sheer-ish but not see thru,
and super bright.

this color looks great on you!! love the outfit!!

that's not clearance! what are they thinking? they need to change the sign to sort of 15% off?

The colour of this blouse is so wonderful!! It's kind of crazy that it was 25 and called clearance? That's ridiculous! It looks lovely nonetheless, and I adore that studded bracelet

I hate that- you get excited about clothes because they are on clearance, and tricked into buying it when really its only like a dollar cheaper.

Ugh! Annoying! That is def not a clearance price. This is why I haven't bought those amazing bright blue pants I keep seeing at Target marked down to $22.99 from $29.99. On the plus side, I really love this bright orange blouse! And those flared jeans are really amazing and very flattering on you!

Unknown said...

Wow, girl you look amazing in orange! I adore the skinny neon belt as well! What a perfect touch.

Oh they shirt really is nice. I need more orange in my wardrobe, but I can't find nice orange pieces. I stepped into ON a few days ago and was kinda disappointed at their clearance section a bit. I mean, they had some pieces that were really marked down, but most of it was just a few dollars off. I mean, Cmon now, Old Navy!

And that's why I shop at thrift stores. For the price of one item, I can usually get three or four. It's a great colour though, so bright and fun. That salad is making me hungry...

I know what you mean about "discounts" that don't really save you that much. You look great though :) I love this look on you. Very chic 70s inspired.
