So the downtown Lazarus is closing. I'm upset about this, not because I shopped there, but because this is the last nail in the coffin for City Center.
However, there's nothing I can do about that, so I've been shopping their clearance sale. I've seen two things I've loved. The first is a Kate Spade bag (when did Lazarus ever carry KS? I don't know) that's the 10th anniversary print. However, it's enormous. Like huge -- you could carry small children in this thing. It also is only 30% off the regular price, where everything else is way cheaper.
If they don't sell it, and it goes down to some reasonable amount (right now it's still $255) I'm going to buy it and ebay it. I think the fact that it's stuffed in the back of a dark display case is in my favor--no one can tell what it is back there!
The other thing I found is a ring. I tried it on today at lunch time. It's in white gold and it's a trangle shaped tanzanite, with tiny little channel set diamonds in the band. It's very modern, but without being too out there. They also had a vintage look one in a filagree setting, which would normally be more my thing, but it's enormous. All the fine jewelry is 50% off right now. So it's a great price on the ring. But I don't really have the funds right now. Yes, July is a three-paycheck month, but I promised myself that pseudo-extra was going to debts, not pretty things I don't *really* need. So, I'm going to put some stuff on ebay this evening, and start packing my lunch religiously, and if I have about half the price of the ring by next week, I'll go ahead and grab it. And if I time it right, maybe they'll slash the prices further by then.
Waiting is hard though. Especially for pretties. I'm learning though. Even if it feels like it'll kill me, I'm learning.
