I went to the mall before meeting my friend for dinner the other night, mainly because I don't go to that mall often...and because it's been a while since I bought a new OBEY shirt. And also because I got part of my taxes back, so yay! My 1st stop was Buckle, where Obey is sold. The shirts are near the front so I looked at 'em all, trying hard to decide because they where ones I haven't seen before and I can never decide right away, although usually I go with my 1st instinct. So I grabbed that one after several minutes of debating, & then walked further into the store to see what they had. So I go almost to the back of the store & I see some Obey hoodies on sale. Then I start getting the ever so annoying sales people talking to me.
That was only my 3rd time in that store & lemme tell you they are VULTURES. One girl says something to me & then another joined her because they were convinced I was some other girl. I was kinda thrown off by their weird behavoir & it must've shown because soon they asked "Wait, do you come here a lot?" I say not really. Then between them two and a couple other girl associates they start getting more annoying by constantly saying "You're a really big Obey fan, hm?" Well, I am but how would they know? I wasn't wearing anything else showing Obey...and just because I said do you have any other Obey hoodies on sale means I'm hardcore (???). Weird because it got very irritating. And they are on commission so it's not a surprise but still they act so weird. Weirder than any other store I've been into. Couldn't wait to get out of there before long, so I tried my best.
I finally found a hoodie I liked but when I was about to go in the dressing room, the sales girl said "Let me give you my favorite one to try on. What size do you wear?" I told her my size just to be nice, and she brought me back one I saw but didn't like. And after I came out of the room she's like how did those one fit? And I said fine but that I only wanted to get one thing today, which was true. And the hoodie she chose was a very blurry image and you could hardly make out Obey on it so no thanks. And again, I wasn't there to buy a few things Obey (again, it's pricey)...just one for the time being.
I was trying on the hoodies because they were all 25% off and then for some reason, another 10% off, which is awesome for Obey merch since it's pricey. So the one that I tried on was nice, but only said Obey in the left corner of the front of the shirt. I like when Obey is written a bit bigger on it, and on the front. BUT the back was really sweet. It was a BIG image (covered the whole back) with the saying "War is Over" on an airplane flying over a battlefield. It was a really nice image BUT the words were covered up, not to mention some of the image, by the sweatshirt's hood. {Oh yeah, did you know that at that store you have to ask for a room with a mirror? Yeah, insane right? The 1st one I went into didn't have a mirror & I'm like "WTH?" What was the point of that? All I was trying on was hoodies to see how they looked on me...with a mirror! I could've just stayed in the store trying 'em on if I didn't need a mirror! Totally bizarre!}
So I left the dressing room and saw another Obey hoodie sitting out that I thought might be the better choice because it was one size up (other fit a big snug) and because the word OBEY was BIG and right across the front. So that was the one I decided to get in the end...and I saved $20 dollars on it after the 35% off, major score!!! {Oh, & I decided to not get the shirt I first saw. Basically the shirt was about the same price as the hoodie (on sale)...which is insane for a t-shirt! But I did like it...but the hoodies prob wouldn't be on sale next time I go back. So hopefully it'll still be there in a month or so.}
Yay, finally someone got me a Hot Topic gift card. But oddly enough, I couldn't really find much I wanted. So I just ended up getting these lil' things you put on any type of zipper (I put 'em on my hoodies...think I'm gonna start putting 'em on my purses/bags). They were only .98 cents each. Yay, clearance! One is a star, then a pistol, and finally a skeleanimal that's a purple rabbit. I put the star on my new Obey hoodie. :)
Last stop, Bath & Body Works. This mall is the only one I know in the area that sells Goldie products. So I walk in and don't see where they're normally displayed. Hm, curious? So I ask and I find out they 1) got marked down and none were probably left and 2) got marked down because B & BW won't be carrying Goldie anymore. :( The only thing left in the stoe was this mini lip gloss. It normally would be $7 dollars but I asked her to see how much it was & it was only .70 cents. I had to get it, but of course. I talked to the manager briefly because I was in there quite often when Goldie products were BOGO free a few months back. He remembered me cuz I was in there debating (well, it was Alice stuff!)...and prob one of the few peeps that actually loves the products. He asked me if I knew where Golide products were sold during our conversation. Hm, wha'''?! I only buy 'em there I told him & have never looked into finding them anywhere else.
O.k. that was my mall adventure for the week, as well as my scores of the week. Happy Saturday to you all by the way. I know I said no posts or that I'd ease up on 'em but I wanted to discuss this because I'm actually going out to another mall today for my very antipicated Dunnys, yay! I feel a lil' better today, hope it'll last...because I've had this very odd migraine since Thursday night. Plus, I got up before anyone else here so the computer was ALL mine. Have a good rest of the weekend and be talking to yous soon.~

3 Curious people had this to say...:
I've never seen OBEY before (but I'm old, so that stands to reason) - those are cool. All I've asked my son for this year for my birthday is a Jack Skeleton hoodie from Hot Topic or FYE. I love the purple rabbit/skeleton zipper pull - I'm going to have to go to the mall this weekend to see if "my" HT has them!!
Bummer about Goldies - glad you had fun shopping!
Obey is only at certain stores-usually the more pricey ones that I don't personally go to myself. But if I want an Obey shirt/hoodie, I MUST go. :( Yes, I had fun & it's always MORE great when things are on sale! Take care.~
those are cute zipper pulls :)
andd it also looks like i need to check out B&B more often...
