Recession, je t'adore

Remember that store-closing sale at Scarborough’s that I posted about a couple weeks ago? I was driving past the boutique yesterday and saw that they were having an even BIGGER sale. Figuring I would give it another go and maybe buy a couple of the dresses I held off on last time, I gave into my impulses and headed inside.

I ended up passing again on some Shelli Segal summer dresses, but what I did find were some old displays from Lancôme. One of the women working there said she would “give me a deal.” I eventually decided on three sets of these tablecloths that were originally meant for makeup counters. Scarborough’s had a surplus of them, and a lot of the packages hadn’t been opened yet.

I got two sets of the white cloths and used one of them as curtains in my bedroom at my parents’ house.

I also ended up with a set of these purple and green ones that will likely turn into table runners one day.

And the best part is that I got all three sets for a dollar! Not too shabby at all.
