luvscruising2007 Posted October 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I need to share! I have just made 2 purchases on line with great savings. I had been looking at a pair of shoes for a couple of months. I finally decided to make the purchase but wanted to find the best price. I googled the shoe name and found many options and finally settled on Old Pueblo traders for an $80 pair of shoes, and I paid $40. In checking my purchase, I discovered the deal had disappeared. Whew! Then a couple of days later I accidentally found a dress I had looked at but decided I didn't really need. It had been marked 50% off. Well yesterday it was 70% off and DH said go ahead, get it. I did and it disappeared off the website. I never get deals like this and just wanted to share my good fortune.

luvscruising2007 Posted October 28, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Got the shoes today and they fit. They seem comfortable but I may have a problem. I broke one of my toes last summer and it doesn't like the shoes as much as my other toes. I am not sure how to fix it. A band aid may do the trick. Anyway, the shoes are keepers and I do love them. The dress is due in Wednesday. Can't wait to see it and try it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvscruising2007 Posted October 31, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Got my dress today. Unfortunately, it is not a keeper. It is very pretty but just isn't quite the right fit. I am in between sizes. Anything fitted doesn't fit me in the waist, too tight, or in the bust, too big. I also have found I need to go with dresses that just go over the head. Zippered dresses don't work as well. It was worth the try for $30 for a long dress. I'll return it and keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middlehaitch Posted November 1, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I think a 50% success rate buying clothes and shoes on the web is pretty good. Congrats, h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2001 Posted November 1, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 1, 2013 oh, too bad the dress you wanted so much doesn't fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted November 2, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted November 2, 2013 It was disappointing to say the least. However, I got a dress out of lay-away yesterday, color block black, tan, burgundy. It is very flattering and should get a lot of use out of it. Perfect for non-formal nights on a cruise. And of course, I had to look around Dress Barn while I was there and found the perfect black dress. Simple lines, no embellishment and should be able to dress up or down. Unfortunately, neither of these were on sale. But, I am happy. I just can't wait until our cruise. I want to wear dresses most nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzisme Posted November 2, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Well, there was a family wedding just passed and for the last couple of months, I had been looking for something nice to wear. Wound up with a very pretty deep blue Lauren dress, then a gorgeous deep rich purple lace top dress, followed by a simple red sleeveless dress. Wore the last two and will wear the blue one to another family wedding soon. Being petite, I buy when something fits!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
