Aahhh, such deals and steals!!! The Lizzard can never turn down a true bargain, but one bargain-identifying criterion is, “Does she really need this?”. She does her shopping at (usually) discount shops, including a regional chain called Gabriel Brothers, in which one can find, depending on the day of one’s visit, fabulous treasure, or more often, absolute trash! Bestest bargains include:
* a $900 Ellen Tracy leather jacket (mauve-lavender-subtle metallic) for $50
* a long black leather skirt, was $600, for $49
* an Armani gown, chiffon floral, was $1700, paid $80
And let’s certainly not forget the shoes!!!!!!!!!
The Lizzard, she wears an 11 narrow, so a great fit, even when not necessarily cheap, can still be a super-deal:
* a coupla years ago, on vacation, a pair of fantastic Jimmy Choo pumps, black, 70% off
* and, just last week (another vacation!), a pair of Ferragamo peep-toe pumps for a mere $140
Viva la bargains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
