new arm party additions + shopping finds

I swung by Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale (and the whole mall, and another mall...) and I think I behaved pretty darned well. I had a $200 Nordy gift card in tote, and only spent half of it. If that's not self-control, I don't know what is. I got three new bracelets to mix and match with my current favorite wrist party attendees. The single channel bangle, initial bracelet, and diamond-shaped crystal bangle are the new goodies. And the best part, each one was under $36 (and comes in silver for all you silver ladies). #WIN. I also accidentally went to J.C. Penny and picked up a few things. You see, the Macy's restroom had a line of 14 women. FOURTEEN. I swear, it must've been national 'Use a Department Store's Restroom Day'. Obviously, I wasn't about to wait for fourteen people, so I wandered over to JC Penny's restroom where I had to wait for SEVEN women. Seriously folks, what's the deal?! Since I was already there I wandered around and ended up snagging a few wicked bargains. I've been hunting for the perfect 'jogger' pants, or what should more accurately titled 'swishy tapered pants that are deemed fashionable and dressy instead of pajamas for who knows why'. Not only did I find an awesome pair of navy joggers, but two $11 Joe Fresh mega-bright button downs I can't wait to layer up.

And I passed up a few goodies that weren't as great of deals or I just didn't need. That doesn't mean I didn't pick up an ogle them (and set a sale alert on shopstyle...)
