After much pondering, and many many days of looking at the website I finally caved in last night and decided that yes, I can afford another new pair of flats (to add to the collection of course!). When I saw that the only sizes left were 6 and 6.5 I took it as a sign that yes, I am supposed to purchase this shoes! And these are the adorable white and black flats from www.gojane.com that are just darling! they scream classic, school girl, but grown up. in 9-10 days i will have these babies! yes!
We also went back to C-Mart on saturday afternoon to see if there was anything new to get. I almost bought a lovely caparros sandal, champagne color with a little bit of oomph. but there was only one shoe! the other shoe was a completely different one!!!! and as much as c-mart is awesome, most areas looked like a tornado went through it and threw up all over the place. needless to say i didn't get anything. there was a nice messenger from Longchamp that was decently priced at $240 but I've decided to get the Kate Spade messenger instead.

Off Post: C-Mart, oh the insanity
It was the most insane thing i'd ever endured in my years of shopping.
C-Mart opened in Lansdowne MD this weekend and M and I went up on opening day. Parking was nuts. Traffic was tolerable. Inside the former Sam's club? ABSOLUTE CRAZINESS. There were so many people there...so many...soooooooooooooooo maaaaaaaaaaaaany! Not that I can blame them of course, C-Mart offers massive discounts for designer goods.
The coolest finds? Their bag department. Chloe bags for 50% off!!!!! Gosh I saw me some paddingtons....not to mention they had decent prada stock too. Naturally of course that was still uhm, pretty much not in my budget.
They also had Seven and Citizens of Humanity jeans for $50. of course by the time I got there (11 am) they were absolutely out of my size. Mind you C-Mart opened at 10 am!!!!!
So, in the end I purchased a pair of plaid pants from Theory (for work) and a pair of really awesome jeans for $21 (what a steal!). M made out with 2 hoodies from American Apparel and 2 pairs of great work shoes from zengara.
The worst part? We waited in line for 4 hours to pay for these. I kid you not. FOUR HOURS.
We were there from 11 am to 6 PM...
There were hundreds of people there and only SIX cash registers. And they did not have a scan system, everything was inputed manually. Hence if you brought up an item with NO tags, you would go through an long price check process. I am also assuming that some of their cashiers were not that experienced and were having trouble putting in the right amount, etc etc.
I do not think I will ever want to repeat that experience again. Well, only if Chloe bags were less than $200, then that would be worth the sacrifice. Here's hoping that C-Mart was only like that because it was opening weekend.
