Hey, I'm Kerri and I am the webmistress of this blog! I am a young mother of two children and one on the way! I'm working towards becoming a wedding and event planner in the near future, but I also build a lot of websites for no reason and I like to drink coffee. :)

Plain White T’s

Comments (0)No, this post is not about the band who sings “Hey there, Delilah”. It’s about real plain white t-shirts!
I always love to go through Dustin’s clothes and wear one of his t’s because they are comfortable and are big enough to cover my post-pregnancy flab, haha.
Recently I was browsing the website College Fashion and one of the writers says that having plain white t-shirts are a staple because it literally goes with anything and if you buy the v-neck kind, it’s fashionable.
So here I go to Walmart to buy a pack of four v-neck t-shirts in the men’s department all because I want some of my own and that College Fashion website told me to do it.
Lets just say that I think you should do it, too. 
It cost me $8.50 + tax for four v-neck t-shirts by Puritan at Walmart versus the $8.50 I spent on one v-neck t-shirt at Forever 21. They all look the SAME. Ughh, I should have seen it before.

Shopping Withdrawals
Filed Under: General, Life, Shopping Written by: Kerri on Wednesday, August 25th, 2010 | Comments (1)Lately I have been going through withdrawals… from shopping!
I do love to save money, so I only shop if I know it won’t break the bank. Most of the time I can convince myself why I don’t need whatever I’m wanting to buy. But today, that didn’t quite work. Here’s what I purchased and the discounts I used! 
American Eagle Outfitters
The AE Uniform Shirt was a piece that I wanted for a while. I stuck it out until it went on sale from $34.50 to $19.95 and quickly added it to my bag. It’s a staple in my eyes. It will be good for interviews or work or anything!
Now that was the only item I wanted, but I found out that if you add a bra, you automatically get free shipping! Plus, all of the bras are 30% off! These great discounts are valid until Tuesday, August 31st, 2010 at 11:59 PM PDT and they do not require any special promotion code to get the discount. Sweet!
So I ended up adding the Hannah Cotton Bra, which is $24.50 originally and $17.15 with the discount. Since you don’t need to enter any kind of promotion code at checkout, if you DO have a promotion code, you can add it and get an additional percentage or dollar value off your order! 
My total ended up at $40.08 for both pieces of clothing.
Forever 21
Okay, so this one I kind of went crazy with accessories, but all of them at Forever 21 are really cheap!
So Forever 21 has a free shipping deal if you spend at least $40! This ends on Sunday, September 12th, 2010 and you must enter the promotion code SHIPFREE at checkout to get the free shipping!
The items I purchased was, again, another staple: a plain white cotton t-shirt for $8.80. Normally I would just hit up Walmart and buy a package of five for the same price, but they don’t seem to fit me like I want them to.
Next, I have a Ruched Trim Knit Top which looks like a top for work or just to dress up. Well, that’s “dressing up” for me anyway. 
That top was only $9.44! Then we have the accessories, buddy!
The Double Banded Headband cost just $1.50 and I’ve been looking for one EVERYWHERE. The sunglasses were $5.80 and I basically added them to reach my $40 and because Bryce Avary has a pair and he’s my absolute favorite. 
The Butterfly Ring was $4.80, Well-Endowed Ring was $5.80, and the Faceted Bead Necklace was $4.80! Tell me a place where you can get accessories cheaper and I will quit getting mine at Forever 21. Even Walmart’s accessories were more than this!
My total ended up at $44.22 which means the grand total for my little shopping spree is $84.30!
Someone should really stop me from shopping. Or give me some sort of medication for my shopping withdrawals. Seriously.
