S-A-L-E...My Favorite Four Letter Word

I got an e-mail from Lucy, the women's activewear store, announcing their end of season sale. An additional 50% off of already marked down prices. Lucy's stuff is basic, but high quality. And expensive. My philosophy for purchasing workout wear is that I won't spend more than around $10 for something I'm going to end up sweating in. Maybe up to $20 or so for yoga pants or a track jacket. Usually my visits to Lucy have me zooming straight to the sale racks in back and then right back out the door empty-handed.

But 50% off the already marked down price? I was pretty sure I wouldn't walk away empty-handed today. So I trekked out to the Century City location in search of new yoga wear. And this time I left with a little orange Lucy bag stuffed with a brand new outfit. First off, the top. It's a pointelle, cap sleeved T-shirt. The website says the color is "zinnia." It looks peach to me. Maybe salmon. Or cantaloupe. OK, zinnia. Whatever... Originally retailed for $34, marked down to $22.99 and then 50% off that equals $11.50. Just a tad more than $10. Sue me...

Next, a pair of Lucy's Ideal Dance pants. Although I won't be doing any dancing in them--just downward facing dog...These I got in "olive" although they look more "moss green" to me. (Can you tell someone had the really BIG box of Crayola crayons when they were a kid?) These retailed for $54 originally, marked down to $36.99 and with 50% off--I got them for $18.50. So that's a whole new yoga outfit for $30! Whoohoo--how cool is that?!!!

They also had really nice track jackets (in brown) marked down to $15 after 50% off, a lot of capri length pants (if that's your style--they don't really do it for me...) and even some cute, striped Splendid camis. The sale goes through Sunday so if you have a Lucy near you, I suggest you check out it soon before the selection gets too picked over. I can hardly wait for yoga class tomorrow night!

  1. That's so good to know. My bosses daughter shops there so I KNEW it was out of my price range. But that's great prices. I'll have to try and check it out tomorrow or Saturday. You rock!
