Throughout the past year I have been trying to find unique bottoms to add to my wardrobe. You see many bloggers today with an endless budget of designer clothes and you ask yourself, how do they afford all of this? The trendy patterned bottoms can be very wild and adventurous but you can't help but thinking you can't wear them very often because everyone will notice when you repeat. I frequently find myself having to say no to outrageous bottoms simply because of practicality. When is it right to say yes to those wild once in a while wears?

Before going on vacation this year I found these floral patterned shorts at Ann Taylor. If there is one upside to working at the Mall of America it is finding great sales. Since starting at the mall I have challenged myself to never pay full price for anything (and I do pretty darn well)!! These shorts and the hot pink jeweled bracelet I got for 45% off! It's these sales that make splurging on something bold worth while. The keys to finding sales at your favorite places are shop often and shop during the week. Traffic is less during the week so store host sales to draw customers. If you walk into a store and fall in love with a full-price necklace, I come back in a week and then the week after until I catch a sale. Sales usually change weekly; tops one week, bottoms the next and so on.
The great thing about these shorts is there are so many colors in the print that you can make them look totally different by changing your top to a different color. From a white tee to a lilac blouse each time you wear them you can draw attention in many different ways!
The key to surveying sales is deciding what the item you're looking at is worth. If you think it's something that will sell out and you love it buy it while you can. Invest in classic pieces and add trendy pairings through sales!
Where do you find the best bargains?
