Today's Shopping Trip - Markdown Report

Today I was able to visit the El Segundo/South Bay store. The store didn't have anything new I didn't see yesterday but they had some nice things on markdown. They had Ta Ta Tamers in Teal Zeal and Senorita Pink marked down to $44. They also had them up to size 38DD which is the first time I've seen that size in a store and been able to try it on. I've always had to try on the 36DD and it never worked for me. The 38DD was much better. I might have gotten the Teal Zeal one but I don't have any tanks in that color so I can't really use it. I also could really probably use a 38E in the Ta Ta Tamer. The DD cups just aren't big enough but I could probably get buy if it comes out in a color I need/like. The store also had The Bust Stops Here on sale for $44, just like the website, and they had black up to a 38DD in that size, too. I might have bought that bra any other time but I think I might want to get the Aruba No Limits tank so I decided I can live without it. I wonder if the El Segundo store regularly gets the 38DD bras or someone just returned a bunch. That size is always sold out on line.

The store also had brushed luon Wish Poncho Strides on markdown from $118 to $99. I really thought about getting this jacket because I have four tops in Wish/Static Wish/Multi Stripe Poncho.  I need to have three to four coordinating tanks before I commit to a jacket in a non-neutral color. However, I noticed a loose thread at the shoulder and the last time I bought an item with threads already unraveling (Zoom Knee Short), I had to take it into get fixed. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a hem but the shoulder is a visible area for a repair. All the issues people have had with their Stride Jackets make me extra cautious about getting one. If they had another in my size I probably would have gotten it but they didn't and I'll just have to wait until Wish makes another appearance or I find a jacket on eBay. I would have loved a Wish Define with the Multi Poncho Stripe in the logo area.

The store also had Sailor Stripe Strides also marked down from $108 to $99. That's not much of a sale but I am conditioned to respond to the purple sale sticker. I like the Sailor print but I need a bit more off to get this jacket.

There were other items on the racks and if you live in the area you might want to stop in and see what is on sale.
