When You Wish Upon A Skirt
Today I would like to tell you about a miracle.
What happened was, I was drooling over this Alpine Skirt from Anthropologie.
What happened was, I was drooling over this Alpine Skirt from Anthropologie.
And I kept seeing it and I kept wanting it. But I kept being unwilling to pay $98 for it.
And the, a week or so ago, just doing some online window shopping, I saw that the skirt of my dreams was on sale! For $19! And I snatched it up right away.
It came yesterday and I could not be more thrilled. I am already planning to wear it out and about this Memorial Day weekend, probably with a tucked-in blue graphic tee and some gladiators. Swoon!
So, the moral of the story? Retail dreams really do come true!
What was your last retail miracle?

Good for you! I love when that happens. My most recent retail miracle happened with you, Shabby Apple! I had been STALKING (and I mean that in the most extreme way) your website for the West Coast Swing dress in my size. I had exhausted all avenues - I emailed your returns department, I emailed customer service - to put me on a notification list in case you received a return. One day, I called Mary in customer service on an unrelated issue. Before we got off the phone, I asked, as an afterthought, if you would be getting any more of the West Coast Swing dress. She asked me what size I needed, and she JUST happened to receive a return in my size. Coincidence??? I don't think so. That dress was meant to be mine. Thanks, Mary! :)
There was a dress that I had seen at Ann Taylor Loft but it was around $90 and out of my price range. I waited but, when it gone from all the store around me before it even had a chance to go on sale I figured it just wasn't meant to be. But then, months later, I found it at a location that was closing downtown for $15! I recently wore it to a wedding and got tons of compliments. Happy times for sure!
