Online Window Shopping

Call me cheap.  Call me thrifty.  Whatever, but when I want something, I shop around.  Sometimes I shop around too much and it ends up meaning the item is no longer available.  Sometimes I'm extremely disappointed and continue searching and sometimes I realize it wasn't that big of a deal in the first place.  Often, however, shopping around saves me a buck or 30.

In recent cases, it's saved me much more.

I'd had my eye out for cardigans and booties to wear for my maternity pictures for quite a while.  I had pretty much decided that I was willing to spend some money on them since I haven't purchased a whole lot for myself wardrobe wise the past few months, I wanted something special for maternity pictures, and they were staple pieces that I could wear during and after pregnancy.

Some online window shopping saved the day!

I adore the boots on the left.  Seriously, adore.  They're from ModCloth.  And if you're doing one of those No Spend November challenges don't click on the site.  Seriously.  I want all the things.  I honestly don't think $68 was a bad price either.  When I saw the pair with cut-outs for $32, I couldn't help but save the $34 and get the adorable new trend.  I mean, that just means I have $34 more dollars to spend on myself later right?! *wink to the hubby*

And...I had decided on a cardigan - actually decided that I was willing to spend the $80 price tag for the one from PacSun.  I went online to look at it one more time and take the plunge only to find it was marked down to $24.99!  Talk about a total score.  It is the softest, best cardigan ever and it will be perfect for pictures or snuggling up with baby.  And unfortunately, it's no longer available - glad I jumped on it when it hit the discount.

Pretty much I got my entire outfit figured out for the price of the original booties I wanted.  Which I still love, but how about those cut-outs on the ones I got?!
