End Of Summer Sales - Fantastic Buys

I have been itching to shop for our trip to Hawaii in October, but the closest mall is about 20 miles away and all we have in our area is Walmart, Target and Kohl's, so I ran into Kohl's to see if I could find anything and I think I made out like a bandit.  I am planning on most of my wardrobe to be capri's, tees and one dressy outfit.  I have a really cute long floral skirt that will be fun too for a night out that isn't too dressy.

I found a ton of things and I think I got fantastic bargains.  All of their summer clothes are on sale at 70% and 80% off.  

Cute kahki capris with drawstrings at the legs and great side leg pockets.  Perfect for my camera.



 Another kahki cargo type pant that rolls up for shorts.


 Heavy weight (so you can't see through it) crinkle cotton pull on capris.  Perfect to throw on over a bathing suit, and they have really cute hip pockets.



 Can you believe these prices. 


 Denim pull on capris.  So comfy and great for a whole day of sightseeing. Cute topstitching on the legs and on the cute hip pockets.  I like hip pockets, I think they help camouflage the behind.


 At this price if they had another pair in my size I would have bought them all.  Too bad I can't wear a size 6 or 8, they had tons.  Do you think I can shrink from a 12 to an 8 in a few weeks.? lol


 A cute knit tee and capri set.  Black and white, so totally versatile and could look a little dressy.  I have a cute pair of black sandels with beads, so this could take me to dinner.


 I like the neckline and the embroidery is pretty.


 Cute embroidery on the bottom of the pants too.


A great pair of sandels.  I have already been wearing them, they are so comfy.


Ok, are you ready.  All of this for $58.91.  Fantastic.  So if you need some summer clothes to finish the season and for next year, head to Kohl's.  They had some really cute stuff on the sale racks.  Also since we are in the 70's and 80's all fall and winter, I can wear these all year long.  I am thrilled with my bargains.


Now all I need is a pair of flip-flops and a couple of tank tops and I am all set.  Next, I better find DH some new shorts.

Kohls has great sales! I've found great sweaters at the end of winter for the next season for just a couple dollars. Likewise, JCP usually has great sales at the end of the season too. Have fun planning and packing.

You did get some good deals. We have Kohls here, but have never been since not convenient. I need to shop for clothes, but don't really want to deal with it right now.

Judy said...

I don't shop in Kohl's too often, but whenever we do, it seems like they have bargains like no where else. My husband always says it seems like they owe us money at the end it's such an awesome deal. Lucky you to be going to Hawaii.

Just Stuff From a Boomer said...

Great bargain shopping. I miss Kohl's. The area I live in now does not have one. We have Belk and Walmart. Those are pretty much at polar ends of the fashion scale. You scored big. Congrats!

Cindy (Applestone Cottage) said...

I love Kohls and you found some great deals Marty!
Kohls started in Madison,Wisconsin by our current Senator (very rich) Herb Kohl.
When I was a student at UW Madison in the mid-70's he just had grocery stores.
Just a little Wisconsin tidbit for you!
We're going to be hot tomorrow but then we will cool off a lot. Highs in the low 70's. So...I will be thinking of warmer clothes.
Hugs friend,
Cindy

Kathleen said...

You did great! Yes, it is a good time to shop for next summer if you are like me and live in NY. We will only wear summer another month, then it is into the corduroys!

My Cottage Charm said...

We just went to Kohls day before yesterday and scored a bunch of stuff too..and ours came to $56.81...almost the same amount as yours! :) I used a 15% off coupon too...woo hoo!
Glad you liked my mirror molding...I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how you can do yours..but that medicine cabinet sure is in a weird place! :)
Hugs Missy
PS..I'll keep thinking :)

Sue (Someone's Mom) said...

Hawaii is the one place I would go if I would get on a plane! You lucky lady! We have a Kohls here too and I grabbed a couple great deals for my daughter while she was here. I also picked up a couple cotton sweaters for winter for myself at $7.50 each!! What a deal! I don't often find clothes there, but my husband does all the time. You got really great things for wonderful prices!
