Shopping Strategies

Kindly sponsored by 

I like Lent. Surrendering the delight of something dear only sweetens a more moderate reunion.

In honor of Lent two thousand + eleven I have selected a spending fast. Meaning, in addition to other extras, I refrain from the purchase of clothing for Missus, Mister, Little Miss, and Tiny Mister for a minimum of forty days.

Even in case of emergencies (such as Baby Boyfriends approaching Baby Blessing), we must borrow, trade, or remake.

Sun Forever Dress, $34.99

And according to the official spending fast handbook, winning is also an acceptable means of maintaining Lent.

Therefore, I encourage you to win the DownEast New Arrival of your choice in time for Easter, without disturbing your nest egg:

I love the entire spectrum of this lucky hue, but today’s focus is on the misty organic shade between amulet and woodland. Specifically the color that looks stunning between the folds of your pocketbook. And below are three ways to keep your wallet blushing this St. Paddy’s Day!

MARFEVT: 25% off through March 18th

My Pick: Seychelle’s Pot Of Gold Pump, fatefully named to coordinate with my holiday theme

Click here for coupon: Enjoy 30% off from March 17-20 at Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy plus they’ll make a 5% donation to a non-profit.

My Pick:  My Mister would look amazing in this.  It would also be amazing if I could actually get him to wear a color not defined as neutral.

JJFRIEND: 25% off March 18-20
Free shipping over $100

My Pick: Little Sailor – if Levi’s slowly dimpling thighs were peaking out from below this ensemble, I believe the Bellview Bagley’s would be naturally transported to Chincoteague island. Or at the very least a sack of fresh salt water taffy would magically appear.

LUCKYKIDS: $10 OFF $10 OR MORE

My Pick: Coco + Easter + Lola et Moi = Bliss

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, enjoy your pot of gold savings!

And while you’re saving on new pretties, don’t forget to find a new outfit for your Ellie Cutler photoshoot. You are going to win aren’t you?
