Clearly there is an evil force out to get me…

You see I broke 3 pairs of sunglasses in this last week all within days of each other! What are the odds of that?! No I did not sit on any of them which I will admit to having done so in the past.

The fact that my last pair of sunglasses broke today so I couldn’t use them while running errands coupled with the loss of all of my back up sunglasses forced me to go in search of new sunglasses. The bright summer sun is kicking in these days and it feels like I am being tortured to drive without sunglasses.

Normally I would go to Burlington Coat Factory for sunglasses, but today I felt like giving T.J.Maxx a try.

And look what I found!!!!

Please excuse the semi-lackluster picture (from my iPhone), my digital camera accessories have wandered off and the battery is useless without a charger. Note to self: Never EVER buy a camera that requires lithium battery packs.

Franco Sarto Carlisle Satchel Black MSRP $79.99 at T.J. Maxx $34.99

Franco Sarto Sunglasses MSRP $36.45 at T.J. Maxx $9.99

Oscar de la Renta – Who knows?! According to all my searches this model does not exist, but they are still fabulous at $9.99

The look on my hubby’s face when he saw I went shopping = Priceless

Did I really need a brand new black purse? Yes and no. I have a really beautiful black leather purse with a gold chain that I won from a giveaway. I love it, but it is just too fancy for regular errand running. I have a gently used teal Lovcat tote that was handed down to me from my aunt that is in great condition, but I wanted to another color bag to be able to switch from time to time.

I’m starting to feel like a Maxxinista!

Oh and don’t worry I bought the hubby crew socks that he had been asking for and I bought Little Monkey an Activity Book that uses dry erase markers.
