April Haul: Dresses

If you live in Canada then you'll probably be familiar with the brand Suzy Shier?

Well just this past weekend (April 28th & 29th), Suzy Shier had a 30% off sale on all regular merchandise plus an extra 10% if you were a prestige member. That's a total of 40% for me!

Every since they had their Spring/Summer 2010 album posted on Facebook, I've been dying to get my hands on this dress.

Unfortunately the Suzy stores near me never ever had them! I checked back weeks after weeks but they just weren't there! Finally on the 27th when I was passing by my local Suzy *gasp!* It was here!!! I was so excited! And there was only one of each size left!? Shocked much? Very.

I grabbed my size and went to try it on. I knew it was perfect the moment I slipped it over my head. The dress fell on all the right spots. It was really form flattering and best of all, it hid my belly!

I took the dress and I was on my way to pay when I noticed a sales flier dropped under the clearance table. (o.O) I picked that up and... died (x.X)

40% off starting on the 28th!? Now who doesn't love a good discount? I really really wanted the dress but I also really really wanted the discount! With only one of each size left, I stood there debating should I buy it or risk it? I even went to the cashier and asked if they could hold the items for me till tomorrow but was denied. (T^T) One of the sales joked I should risk it for the discount since there was only two hours till closing, but the other sales just had to be the devil's advocate and say "but there's always a chance someone might come in to buy it!"

This so happened on the same day I found my Kathy Von Zeeland bag. So I put the dress down and comforted myself with the thought, "Hey! At least I bought a bag!" and swear to come back first thing in the morning as soon as they opened!

The next morning I woke up at 9 to get ready and catch the bus. One of the most stressing factors for that morning was the bus. There's only one bus that goes near my house and it only comes once an hour. If I miss that one I will have to walk four streets to the next nearest stop. Luckily I got there on time and I got to the store as it opened! There was only two dresses left, a small and a medium. I was so happy my size was still there for me!

I looked around the store since it was 40% and found a few more items that I liked. In fact, between the folds of the long dresses I found another dress, last of its kind and in my size!

Needless to say, I left Suzy Shier completely happy and smiling with my two new dresses!
