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.~
Hi friends. It's time for an AWESOME sales/deals post. Ever since last Sunday, JoAnn's and Michaels Craft stores have had quite amazing sales going on. I'm talking REALLY REALLY great deals on many things...most of the sales being between 25-60% off certain supplies and crafts. And heck yes, I found that 60% off & it was something(s) I needed/used so I had to give in...several times. 
In this pic I got scrapbook paper (6 sheets for .96 cents), pack of hard canvas (3 pieces for 4.99) 2 sets of cardstock paper-for my collages (2.49 a pack), and 8.5 x 11 frames (2.39 each)-the frames were the 60% items I found. BIG SCORE!!! Hm...IDK what else in the store was 60% off & I searched it pretty good. Hmm...but it must not have been something I used (like fabric, stuff like that, cuz I didn't check out those areas much).
Stickers and epoxy stickers were all 40% off. And those epoxy stick ons/stickers can be pricey so I stocked up. I will use those on whatever they'll stick to-boxes, frames, collages, and probably some canvas too.
Clear stamps, acrylic block, an "A"-hm, you know what I'm gonna use that for right? Also to the right, necklaces with clasps you can put on (25% off) as well as a needlenose pliers (I think they're called that)...I need those for the necklaces. Because I've been making necklaces lately (for myself so far)...think the NNP were 25-30% off. Sweet!
OK, I lied this was the ONLY thing regular price (well, actually those stamps & acrylic block weren't on sale but for only $1 each, that's a score in itself!). It's Square Mirror pieces. 25 pieces for only 1.99, pretty good deal. And it keeps me away from the hammer when I break mirrors for some of my pieces. :)
