Happy Birthday to me!

So last week was my birthday & I am now the big 2-2, woo! Haha. I went shopping with my dad so that I could pick a few things as my gifts. I went to J.Crew which is one of my favorite stores. I picked out a pair of pants & a really cute cardigan.


Now even though I really love the store, I am a little upset with them. The pants I got (I hate to say) were $79.50, but since they were my gift it was ok. But 4 days later I was looking on their website & what do I see but my pants-under the sale items. Yep, that's right, they were on sale. And not just 10 bucks off or something-oh no, they were now on sale for $19.99. Yep they were $60 off. Now how is that even logical? The pants are cordoroy which means they are for winter. I was so unhappy. Now online they did not have my size so I called the store to ask them if they were on sale there & they were not. I told them they were on sale on the website & asked if I could get a difference because I had just purchased a sweatshirt the same day at a different store & found it on their website for $10 cheaper & they gave me the refund. Well apparently J.Crew does not work that way & they would not give me the difference, told me sorry & said there was nothing they could do.
This just does to show you that when something is that expensive you should really not pay retail. Now at that store they don't usually have all their stuff on sale later but I never thought it was going to be that much less in just 4 days. I am now trying to decide if I want to keep them just out of principle. I really think that them putting them on sale that quick they should give you the difference but I guess its different at every store. Oh well. You live, you learn.

Also for Christmas my brother & his girlfriend got me a Coach gift card & I was waiting to find just the right thing & the other day I did:

-->Isn't it adorable? OMG Thanks again Taylor & Amanda :)
