A Little Shirt Here, A Gym Uniform There
We went and picked up the rest of the school uniform Madison needs for school. I lucked out and got about $150 worth of uniform stuff from the uniform exchange they had at the end of the school year. They are having another in August, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to pick up what we were still missing. Then I figured the uniform store would have them on back order. I decided to head over and get what we needed for they were too picked over.
Before we went, I had already gotten her 2 jumpers, 2 shirts, a sweater, and a pair of pants. Yesterday, I got her 1 gym T-shirt, 1 pair of gym shorts, 1 gym sweatshirt, 1 pair of gym sweatpants, 2 shirts, and 2 headbands. I almost fell over when it rang up to $80! However, my mom informed me that school clothes probably would have costed me more.
My question to you is: How much are you spending on school clothes this year? Will it be at department store? These Macys coupons could save you big bucks!

Retail Therapy
Nothing else makes you feel more than buying yourself something nice. As mom, I will be honest, that doesn’t happen too often. However, when I do actually buy myself something nice, I like to go all out (since I rarely do it). One thing that you can get yourself is a great pair of jeans. When I went to the Mom It Forward event a couple of months ago, I was talking to Liz Strauss. She told me it was soooo worth spending the extra money and getting yourself a pair jeans that truly fit you. Not only do they look better, they make you feel better too.
Now, no matter how great a pair of jeans looks there is no way I am going to spend over $1,000 on a pair of jeans. However, the Armani Exchange has New Premium Denim starting at $98. That is a price I can afford. Also, if you purchase a full price pair of denim from Armani Exchange, in store or online between 7/7/09 – 7/19/09, you will receive a gift card of $20 off you next purchase of $100 or more. Here are a couple of jeans I would definitely pick up:
These are three styles that I think are cute and would definitely wear. Now, they also are running an awesome text A|X contest. They are giving away a pair of denim every day for the month of July. To enter, all you have to do is text the keyword “DENIM2″ to ARMANI (276264).
If you are needed a little retail therapy or just want a new pair of jeans, make sure you check out the Armani Exchange first!
