Chambray dress (exact); Blue sweater (exact, similar); Yellow dress (similar) – all Old Navy.

Working in an office attached to a mall is one of the best and worst things that ever happened to me, professionally- and financially-speaking. Once I’m off for the day, I just can’t resist browsing a store or two. Luckily, when I did this past week, I found an epic clearance sale happening at Old Navy. Really makes me wonder why I buy things full price. Here are my finds.

Chambray Dress — Original Price: $29.94, In-Store Clearance Price: $7.47 + 30% off =

$5.23

My dress didn’t come with a belt like it should’ve, but I still spent the whole weekend wearing it. And it’ll be perfect with leggings and boots in the fall.

Blue Waffle Sweater — Original Price: $29.94, In-Store Clearance: $1.47 + 30% off =

$1.03

You may think I’m crazy for buying a sweater in late June, but it’s a classic fit that won’t go out of style in a color that’s perfect for more transitional weather. No shame in hoarding it until fall.

Eyelet Fit & Flare Dress — Original Price: $34.94, In-Store Clearance: $11.49 + 30% off=

$8.04

No brainer. I can’t wait to wear this to work or a dressier occassion. I love the eyelet and the color.

TOTAL = $14.30 (savings of $70.79, or 84%)

Not bad, not bad at all. I got three versatile, above-average quality pieces for less than the cost of one of these items full-price. I’m pretty proud of myself. (In case you couldn’t tell.)

In other blogging news, I wrote a guest post on hostess gifts for Michelle at Locked Out while she was on her honeymoon, so go read it! Also, now that Google Reader is dead (RIP), you may need another RSS reader to keep up with your favorite blogs. While you can follow me on Bloglovin’, I personally recommend Feedly. You can pin straight from the reader. Amazing.
