$9 Jeans… Fantasy turned into reality for this bargain-hunter!

I thought finding cute jeans for $9 was something like finding a unicorn on my patio. Probably not going to happen. I kept hope alive and last Saturday was my lucky day at My Sister’s Closet here in San Diego.

Okay, so maybe these aren’t over the top glamour-jeans but for $9– I’m okay with that. My original idea was to use these to make “distressed jeans”. I had a plan to use sandpaper, razor blades, a scissors and possibly bleach to make these a little more interesting.  I’ve worn them a number of times already this week and now I’m not so sure I want to ruin a good thing.  After all– fabulous $9 jeans… like finding a unicorn!

I had a great time shopping here. The staff was friendly and helpful without being overly pushy. I found some amazing coconut jewelry priced from $15 to $64. The gray dress pictured below $78 and the beige dress $52. So while this may be a bit more than my typical thrift store finds– still not way over the top pricing. And they do have a sale rack priced anywhere from $5 to $10. Live a little… and shop on.

When you need a little retail therapy stop by miss match along Newport Avenue by the beach. Colors pop! There was a tray of fantastic bangles by the check-out marked $3. Excellent!

I walked thru the door and was dazzled by the beautiful accessories and cute handbags. I’m in the market for a new purse and this was a great place to “check out the sights.” You can see the amazing brown bag I found in the photo below.

The earrings and necklace selection was delightful. And colorful for that matter. I found an impressive selection of dressy clothes too. I really feel like I did experience retail therapy at miss match. (next time I have a bad day I’ll just go shopping. Bravo!)

Lucky me– I received a surprise email from The Black Bead in Ocean Beach. This awesome shop is celebrating its 19th anniversary! I was the lucky recipient of a 20% off coupon. Woohoo!!

I purchased the light blue pendant pictured below for just $12 over the weekend.  It will look great with summer dresses and t-shirts.   As you can see from my photo– there are a lot of beads and jewelry supplies to choose from. This is one of those places you could spend hours in and totally lose track of time.

Happy shopping!!
