July was supposed to be a 'no shopping' month for me, however LAST weekend when our A/C was on the fritz (part on order) and temps hit 85degF in the house, DH and I went on a mall crawl in the burbs of the Big City. Since there was a big White Sale going on at The Bay, we decided to return THIS weekend (with bathroom tile sample in hand in order to match towels). To be honest, I also wanted to revisit a cross body bag that I had spotted at Danier Leather - and couldn't forget.
I know some folks hate the jumbled mess that is a Hudson's Bay store, but I LOVE department store shopping. I roamed the two stories and when the closest line up put me off, found a willing clerk in the perfume department who rang me up! Linens, towels, DH's items, plus some things for me! Then on to Danier Leather!
Analysis/rationale/justification
#1 Calvin Klein traditional midrise (?? - covers my belly button) needed a pair of full length jeans - for F/W, Tommy Hilfiger V-neck cotton sweater (Stripes! Colour!) love at first sight. Red leather bag (I've been looking for a leather circular canteen bag for a while without luck. The light weight and perfect colour of this bag called out to me. The shape might have more longevity than a canteen bag. Small purple change purse.
#2 Calvin Klein traditional midrise jeans
#3 Tommy Hilfiger stiped top (couldn't find my colourway - label says 4/2019 and it was the only one on the (sale) rack. Specs are identical
#4 Danier leather bag - comes with TWO straps - one a 'guitar' strap that can be shortened so it becomes a 'bum bag'!
#5 to demonstrate size - fits my largish wallet, phone, keys, tissues, change purse. Lightweight!
I'm LOVING it all!
