shopping with jr

Turns out Jack isn't the only amazing shopper around here. Here's the list of things Jr and I picked out, I tried on, and he approved for purchase yesterday:

1. Four pairs of pants--green corduroy, solid gray, gray with plum pinstripe, gray with pale blue pinstripe.
2. Two Vera Wang silk dresses--one a delightful print in dark sage, plum, mustard, and the other dark sage and lime with plum and dark sage jewels.
3. Two sweaters--one lightweight plum, one for fall in brown, cream, and black.
4. One black jacket--falls just past the waist, with big black buttons, a big shiny zipper, and details too numerous to count.
5. Four pairs shoes--black slippers, classic black heels with the pointy toes, black heels with rounded toes and pleats all around, and brown mules.

This is what we spent:

1. $10
2. $14
3. $24
4. $22
5. $46

This is what the original prices were:

1. $124
2. $166
3. $156
4. $50
5. $200

That's right--$116 instead of $696.

We also found a pair of slacks, a shirt and a tie for Jr that were on sale for $48 instead of $100.

And two pairs of brown shoes for him--one pair of dress shoes and one pair of slip-ons that were $73 instead of $160.

If only we'd had a little more time to find accessories.

Well, there is a streak of mad genius in your household--shopping genius. I am particularly impressed with the original prices and the prices you paid. Nice work on the Vera Wang.
