Fat Days (And Shopping Secrets)

When Schmoo and I took these pictures, I was having a total fat day. You know the ones I'm talking about...where you just feel like an amorphous blob and nothing fits you comfortably except your trusty ol' sweats. So what did I grab to wear? Well, the obvious choice: a loose, boxy dress that wouldn't cling to my body at all! I'm really loving loose casual Summer dresses lately...probably because it's currently so hot in Phoenix that you never want anything touching you, so they're basically the next best alternative to being naked all the time! Which could potentially be really awk.

In other news, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ended today. It seems like every blog in the world has been talking about what their wish list is and all the great deals there are...but you know what? I have a secret. The deals really weren't that great at all. Say what?

So I'm sure you've all heard of Nordstrom Rack, right? Well here in Phoenix, there is a tier of Nordstrom that comes AFTER Nordstrom Rack...and it's called Last Chance. Last Chance is basically a crazy ass ratchet mess that is always as busy as Black Friday, but for good reason-you can get the Sam Edelman shoes that I'm wearing for 19 dollars. Oh, and brand new Chloe boots for 100 bucks (true story). Dolce Vitas for 19 bucks. Cole Haans for 50. And the list goes on and on. This place is crazy. I'm telling you...it's like thrifting on CRACK (complete with crazy people that probably actually ARE on crack). Forget the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Forget Nordstrom Rack, even. If you ever find yourself in Phoenix, AZ, go to Last Chance. Hell, I will go with you, and personally convert you to a crazy bargain shopper...because it's just that good. In case you still don't believe me, I got 4 sweaters this past week for 2.50 each. That's cheaper than a Starbucks coffee! Guys, I'm obsessed.

Anyway, I digress. Basically, don't shop the Nordstrom anniversary sale...you will probably save more money buying a plane ticket to Phoenix and shopping at Last Chance. Ha! So everybody come visit Phoenix and I'll take you to Last Chance with me. Deal?

So what about all you guys; what's the best deal you've ever gotten?!

Cheers, 
Grace

    So glad I found your blog. I love the humor in your writing (and your pomeranian--I have one as well). I actually used to live in Phoenix so I know all about Last Chance. I miss that store more than I miss Phoenix...is that wrong?

    Love the flowiness of the boxy dress and your tattoo.

      Thanks Cheryl!! Ummmm no...not wrong at all. I actually can't stand Phoenix, so Last Chance is basically it's one redeeming factor haha. I'll be sad when I leave merely because I won't have access to their crazy deals anymore!

    Strict diets are not that important to heed as long as you are educated with the right food to eat and what food to abstain for you to know that you are in the right track. Knowledge about nutrients will be beneficial so that you don’t need to be fuss yourself in thinking if the food you are taking is good or not.
