Pink Day
Yesterday was a good day for pink. Eric and I went out to our PO Box to pick up mail and decided to hit the mall out there (JC Penney's is having a big clearance thing).First stop was Hot Topic where they actually had the Special Effects Cupcake Pink hair dye I like! A little too pricey, but I'm worth it. I'll be re-pinking my hair after my workout later today.
Next stop was JC Penney's. I found some nice pink pants that fit me perfectly. I believe I'm officially a size 6 again (down from the 8/10 of the winter). I'll have to talk about the Velocity Diet in another post -- but I'll say I've lost nearly 5% body fat since I've been on it.
Eric went upstairs to look at belts while I continued to cruise the ladies clothing. I wandered through the jeans and found nothing in the right size. Then I made my way over to the coats. I spotted some nice leather jackets, sort of a gray/silver type color. Then it hit me: One hot pink leather jacket. It was a beacon.
I can't afford a leather jacket, but I had to look at this lone pink leather blazer. It was on clearance for $29.99. I could almost afford that just because it was such a good deal. The jacket was an extra small. I'm small, but I'm not that small. But I tried it on anyway because -- well -- it was pink!
It fit. I guess because it's a ladies' XS and not a juniors' XS it was actually exactly my size.
What a dilemma I now faced. I grabbed the jacket and went looking for Eric. Of course he agreed that it was a good deal and we should get the jacket.
But that's not the good part.
We got to the register and the jacket rang up at full price! $150.00. I pointed out that the tag read $29.99. The clerk fiddled with the cash register. The final cost of the pink leather jacket? $14.99.
Yeah. It was a good day.
