Soho Shopping Haul

6/13/2013

0 Comments

 
A few weeks ago on a Sunday morning  I got up early and headed down to SoHo for a little bit of shopping. I am always looking for a deal as you all know and I found some really great pieces (most of which will be coming with me my travels later this month).  I managed to get 9 pieces for well under $100. You will be surprised at my grand total. 

Here is what I picked up: 
First stop was Necessary Clothing. I picked up two dresses and a top that set me back a whole 26.97. The store that is located on Broadway between Howard  and Grand has a great clearance section downstairs. I always hit those racks first when I go there and have managed to score lots of great stuff. The retail price for all my goodies would have been 91.97. I ended up saving  71%. 
Picture
Retail Price: 34.99 Sale Price: 9.99.
Picture
Retail Price 19.99. Sale Price 6.99.

Retail Price: 36.99. Sale price 9.99.
After Necessary Clothing we went to  a bunch of other stores but I managed to pick up some stuff at Old Navy. Once again I shopped the sales. I picked up three bikini pieces and a pair of neon shorts. Grand total was 18.47. Retail these pieces would have all came in at 79.93, a  77% savings.  Here is a poor in a private plane hint. I ALWAYS mix and match my bikinis. I rarely wear matching pieces. This helps me save tons of money because when bathing suits go on clearance its hard to find matching pieces.  I just buy what I like and is in my size and worry about putting it together later. I have managed to collect tons of pieces and rarely pay more than $10 for each piece. 
Our final stop was a leather store on Orchard Street in the Lower East Side where I find two genuine leather skirts for $10 bucks each. Retail Price is 79.99 for each so that is a 87% savings. Now I am not planning on wearing these skirts anytime soon but they will be great for the fall. I am already thinking of how I am going to style them. 
So here are the numbers: 
I got a total of 9 pieces. 
I spent 65.42. 
If bought at retail I would have spent 331.88. 
I saved 266.46 (80% savings). 
Enough for another few shopping hauls if you ask me.

Last week didn't really start until Friday for me.  Once Friday hit it was pretty much non-stop. Friday night we did hibachi followed by the Ride to Montauk on Saturday and shopping on Sunday. I have no idea how I survived work on Monday but as soon as I got home from work I made dinner and fell right to sleep. Now that I have recovered here is how my weekend went. 

On Saturday DH and I did the Ride to Montauk. Although I had a great time the ride itself nearly almost killed me. I definitely need to train more for the next one.

My morning started at 5:45am. Most people would cringe at the idea of getting up so early on a Saturday morning but I was waaaayy to excited so I didn't care. 
Picture
Once we made it to Montauk (and after my near death experience) we showered and stuffed our face with burgers and beer. Nothing makes me happier.
Picture
One of the best perks of this ride was the food. They had fresh baked pie at one of the rest stops. It was amazing. I think I ate a little bit too much. 
Picture
Somebody went a bit crazy with the free beer. I think he was a bit overwhelmed at one point. 
We spent the weekend in the city so on Sunday while DH went out to do the Brooklyn Bike Tour I opted for some shopping in SoHo with Mom followed by brunch. 
Picture
First stop was Necessary Clothing. I love this place. I especially love their clearance rack down on the lower level. Stay tuned later this week to find out how many pieces I picked up on Sunday for under $100. 
Picture
After shopping we went to brunch to one of my parents' fave spots. My mom threatened me not to share the place or location but if you follow me on Instagram or squint really hard at this picture you can figure it out. HINT: It's in my hood and it is amazing. 
Picture
After the bike tour DH joined us for brunch and tried his first Michelada. It was really good. He didn't care for it much.
