At the mall this afternoon I wandered into the Gap. Not surprisingly, there were signs posted all over the place announcing various sales. Doesn’t it seem like there are always sales at the Gap?
I did find a couple great deals, though. This plaid belted bucket hat, originally $16, was marked down to a mere three dolla dolla bills, ya’ll!
Or how ’bout this tan conductor’s hat? — on sale for $9 (originally $16).
Look at that chocolate brown and pink polka dot liner. Mmmm…
The $3 bucket hat came home with me… 🙂
I checked the Gap website when I got home and noticed a bunch of heavily marked down women’s clothes and accessories here and here. The hats are there, too, but the prices vary. The conductor hat that I saw in-store for $9 is only $4 online.
Hope your weekend gets off to a good start. No big plans for me. Tonight, I’m just chilling at home with El Hub and Tabs, getting ready to watch a little TV. Stargate Atlantis, anyone?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I used to work at the Gap – you can always count on markdowns!
Karen, I have a request: could you please, please, pretty please swatch the Shu Uemura Mika Holiday palettes? I order all my Shu online & have a friend in the US ship it to me (cheaper), I want in on some of the palettes but would like to see some swatches.
Pretty please? 😉
You got a great deal!

Very cute!
I used to work at the Gap too. They usually have awesome deals. I have tons of jeans from there that I bought for like $10 because they were on clearance.
I’m thinking about heading over to the outlet mall by my house today to check out the sales. Either that or the flea market. I want to find some cute scarves for super cheap.

Did your store have the people who knew when the markdowns were? We had a bunch of hardcore shoppers who would be there first thing on markdown day. They loved the deals!
You are seriously working that first hat, hon! Must go run to the Gap now – what a great deal!
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s Tabs ^^
Those hats look really cute on you.
And could you swatch OPI Lunch at the Delhi?
Karen B´s last blog post..Complicated? Nah!
Cloudburst,
Yeah, we did. I didn’t even know how they knew we were going to have markdowns sometimes, because I didn’t even know 😛
That is a cute hat!! And the price is awesome to boot! 🙂 I’ll have to go check the site out.
Hi Cloudburst,
I don’t know when I’m gonna get down there again, but if I can swing it next week I’ll try.
Did you like working at the Gap? I worked lots of retail when I was in school (Limited, Macys, Millers Outpost), but never quite made it to that store! I always thought it looked like fun, though…
Hi Marisol,
Yeah! Gotta love getting accessories that cost the same as a latte. Hope you’re having fun wine tasting!
Hi Brittany,
Fun! I may pop by the mall again to start window shopping for presents. I know it’s kinda early, but I like getting stuff done early. 🙂
I am a scarf person, too. It’s a quick, fun way to change an outfit…
Hi Rae,
🙂 Thanks! They also had some cute purses on sale, too, so don’t forget to check those out. Hope you’re having a good weekend!
Hi Karen B.,
Dunno when I’m going to hit up the beauty store next, but I’ll try! 🙂
Hi Daya,
Thanks! I think it’ll come in handy when it starts to get really cold and rainy. You can’t beat a three dolla hat, so I hope you find some good deals!
Hey Karen,
Im soo jelous Gap is sooo much cheaper in the U.S than here in the UK but there is a store next to where I work that give us 10% off because we work at the same place which is pretty good, you have just inspired me to take a little look on my lunch break tomorrow!
I just got back from my Chanel training last night and I have to say the freebie haul was pretty good! whole skincare set, no 5 goodies and lots of makeup so im a happy girl! Plus I just put in my order for my staff allocation- im in Chanel heaven at the moment ha ha!!
Im not sure if you have them near to you but if you get chance to go into a Chanel boutique you HAVE TO smell the boutique exclusive fragrances i tried them during the week and fell in love! In particular I loved no 22 and Gardinia but at $220 each I had to leave them in the store 🙁 I did get a pair of Chanel earings though which was naughty but im in love with them!!
