Bloomingdales 40% off sale starts Tuesday 3/31/09

By Kathy Haines March 29, 2009 12:48 PM

I was driving to Coral Gables to celebrate my niece's graduation when I got caught in the worst traffic on I-95 for an hour and a half, with no let up in sight.

I figured I missed the dinner, so I turned around and lo and behold, my car exited at 'Ives Dairy Road' all by itself. It drove me to Bloomingdale's at Aventura. I think it thought, "let's not drive all this way for nothing."

Bloomingdale's is having a big sale starting Tuesday, additional 40% off, but the cute salesgirl told me I could pre-buy at the sale price. My new BFF.

I bought a Lauren dress, and two classic and versatile Lauren sweaters. I can't take them home until Tuesday, but they will ship free since I spent over $100, and I got an additional $25 off $100 for using my Bloomingdale's card. Long story short, I got $420 worth of nice classic clothes for $150.

I know...still not cheap, but I'm going to a family wedding in April, and I feel like my wardrobe is tired. Who wants to join me in a big backyard bonfire for tired clothes?
