y husband encouraged me to get out of the house today and do a little bit of shopping. I've been taking care of 2 kids at home for all of this week (my oldest didn't go to daycare this week) so this was a much needed break. Of course I had to go to my favourite place to shop- Holt Renfrew Last Call. I always find excellent deals there. Yes, you do have to go through racks and racks of clothing, but if you have the time and energy it's well worth it. They were having a huge clearance sale on all their end-of-season styles so it was buzzing with people. I ended up only buying 1 thing- a black Isabel Marant jacket/blazer. It was originally $420CAD and then marked down to $289. It was in the 60% off the sale price rack so I was pretty happy with my find. Little did I know that it was marked down even further. When the cashier rang me through it was only $44.75 WITH TAX. OMG. I was so flabbergasted that I asked her if the price was correct. She double-checked and she said it was. She then asked me where I found the jacket because I think she wanted to get one for herself! If I had more time I would have looked in the store even longer, but I didn't want to stay away from my daughter for too long (she is still solely breastfed and can't take the bottle). Anyways, here are some more pictures of the jacket/blazer and some other random pics I took in the change room. |
| I know it doesn't look like much and that's what I thought at first, but I never judge a clothing by how it hangs on the hanger. The jacket/blazer is not really structured and the material is a cotton blend- different from all my black blazers in my closet. |
 |
| As soon as I tried it on I Instagrammed it to see what people thought and everyone seemed to like it. So did I! |
 |
| It just drapes really beautifully. I think it's a great basic to have in my closet. |
 |
| Here I am trying it again at home. Sometimes clothes look different in the stores. I still love it :-) |
 |
| I can't wait to wear it tomorrow. |
 |
| Here's a Smythe jacket I tried on. I wouldn't wear it with what I'm wearing now. The jacket was made of a bouclé material and cropped with gold buttons. At first, I was drawn to this jacket more than the Isabel Marant, but it didn't look as great on… |
 |
| It sort of looked old lady like. I decided to pass on it. This was also 60% off of $350? |
 |
| Haha. This was something ridiculous! It's a cropped hi-lo top. I forgot the brand. It was originally $69, marked down to $39, then 80% off of that price. I was thinking of getting it because it was so cheap, but I wondered if I would ever wear it. So I passed on this. |
 |
| This sweater if from Robbi & Nikki. This was quite nice and I considered getting this, but I wish it was a bit longer and a bit softer. The material was a bit itchy on the arms. That's what made me hesitant on getting this sweater. I can't remember how much this was, but it was under $90? |
 |
| Here's a close-up of the sweater. It came with a built-in tank so that only the arms are sheer. It was quite nice… |
Next week I might go back and see if I can find any more deals.
