After getting in to the Salt Lake airport, after a flight delay that left us sitting on a runway in KC for a while, then RUNNING at top speed through the Denver airport to make our connection, we were ready for something fun.
Honestly, though, traveling with these two is always a pleasure. And Sugarwings was so grown up, she seems to know more about getting around airports than I do. I don’t think I could’ve made it without her.
(Doesn’t this guy look like a bluebird of happiness, or is that just our point of view?)
While waiting on the plane, not knowing how long it would be, I was told that I should go speak to the agents at the desk.
While leaving the two girls alone on the plane?
At first, I was totally against it, and wondered how I could load both girls and all of our stuff off the plane then reload, but the stewardess looked at the kiddos and said they seemed like they would be fine. I viewed them through her eyes and realized that they weren’t so little after all, and that she was right. I left the plane with confidence in them, and even took time to stop at Starbucks to buy the ingredients for a cocoa party.
We had such a good time, the college girls seated around us chimed in on a chorus of “Shake it Off”
Still, after the flight was over, I was ready to leave it behind.
I have been wanting to go to the Sundance store’s outlet, and the girls were kind enough to indulge me. I figured that the festive weekend would be so kid centric, that I could indulge myself for a quick visit and they would still have plenty of fun.
And yes, they did. There was so much fun to be had, I don’t know how it was all squeezed into one weekend!
Our stop wasn’t a long one, barely enough to whet my appetite, but about as much as the little sprites could handle, so I scooped up my beautiful deals ($10 lace top, $69 velvet jacket originally $200, a lace skirt, still high for me, but worth it, and a $19 Johnny Was tee)
Plus a $39 silver and moonstone ring.
I was very satisfied with my binge bargains, and told the Guncles about them. And mentioned that all men’s wear was 30% off the sale price. So, the three of us left the grand fairies with cousins at the pool and made another quick trip over. Kevin found $10 wool slippers and Randy got this great, casual jacket for $70 (originally $198).
And yes, I over indulged again.
Johnny Was leggings, $39, black velvet and lace top $10, and thought I was happily finished.
Although, it was hard to tear myself away from these bins.
So much treasure hunting! This is where I found the $10 shirts. I made some friends there, as we all dug and looked for each other’s sizes. There were ladies from all over the country, and even a family from Europe who were exploring the boxes.
Not everything in the store was at a huge savings, the Sundance store’s prices are way up there to start with. But ooooh, so pretty! And so much to see. There were new items on Saturday that weren’t out on Thursday, so if you go, try to check back again.
As the Guncles and I were leaving, Randy pointed out this jacket (and it was cold outside, much chillier than I’d packed for).
it was $249 on sale for $49, and I fell in love with its furry lined coziness. (Looks like someone else in the crowd buys Johnny Was pants, huh?)
Typically, I’m a tee shirt (usually from Walmart) and jeans person. But I do love pretty things and am glad I let loose to get these new pieces!
Even though I don’t seem to have enough sense of style to avoid wearing a J. Was shirt with a kid’s $3 jacket from Kohl’s clearance.
Oh well, works for me!
Although it ended up being a bigger “bash” than I thought it would be…
