75% Off Sweaters? Yes Please!

Sunday was one of the most wonderful days of the year! It was Old Navy's 75% all sweaters for adults sale!

Being a fiscally virtuous person is sometimes a difficult thing to do. I received the numerous emails last week from Old Navy announcing the sale. I ignored each and every email with the resolve to not attend the massive sale. I knew I'd buy sweaters that I really didn't need.

Then I received a phone call from Tata. She wanted me to attend the sale with her. Sure, I wanted to go, but I also knew that if I went I would have to buy a sweater. It's just the socially responsible thing to do. It's a matter of etiquette really, not fiscal irresponsibility. Attend a sale, buy something. So still being a fiscally virtuous person, I declined the offer to shop with her.

Instead of shopping I opted to rearrange the furniture in the master bedroom with my husband, followed by a quick jaunt to Goodwill, and McDonald's for a one dollar Diet Coke. While sitting in the unloading zone at Goodwill, I received a text from Tata saying there were tons of sweaters left and to 'get my happy ass out here'.

Hard to withstand such a swanky and highfalutin invitation like that, but I resisted. I replied that I had no makeup on. I said I hadn't fixed my hair after my shower that morning. I was wearing my Life Is Good T-shirt that had a picture of a fireplace with the caption 'Log On' under it. I said I didn't want my appearance to embarrass her.

She reminded me that it is dang near impossible to embarrass her, so I met her at the mall.

And bought eight sweaters to her measly four.

It was one of the most wonderful days of the year. Pin It Now!
