The Clearance Gods, they smile upon me, yes they do

In the past two weeks, little treasures (perhaps returned from other stores) have popped up on the 80% sale rack at Field's:

1 plum colored knit Grace sleeveless shell - was $59, now $11.

1 black knit Grace trumpet skirt - was $79, now $15.

And the steal...
1 Ralph Lauren knit black cardigan with a polka dot silk satin front and little pearls for buttons - was $159.00, now $7.88. I saw versions of the sweater in brown and navy that didn't thrill me. But black? That works. Who the hell cares that I have to dry-clean it once in a blue moon?

And the old saw is true - if you want to find TJ Maxx or thrift store prices at the department store, you gotta visit often.

Now to wait for the bathing suits to drop down to nothin'.
