White House Black Market

My new favorite store is White House Black Market.  My good friend Gaby has been shopping there for over a year and it wasn’t until a couple months ago that I went in to check it out.  Yes. Everything in there is either black or white, but they have some fun animal and floral patterns.  They sell dressy dresses and casual outfits.  Their shoes are really very comfortable for heels because they have super padding in the soles. 

I got a great coupon in the mail that was $50 off a $200 purchase, plus I had a $40 gift card that my friend gave me after she puked on me.  That’s a whole other story that I might blog about later.  Anyway, it’s not the cheapest store in the world, I mean some of the tops are about $50 to $100, but they do have a decent sale section and tonight they were offering buy one get one for 50% off, so I was able to stock up on 3 cute tops and 1 nice black pin striped jacket for about $140 after my coupon and gift card.  Since the holidays are coming up I’m pretty much set with the tops I’ll wear to all the holiday parties, so it was a good shopping day.

If you see this store in your mall, stop in and check it out.  The only thing I think is kind of a rip off is the jewelry.  The last time I went there the sales girl asked if I wanted to add a cute black necklace to what I was buying.  I didn’t look at the price, but realized when I got home that it was $50. At that point I went ahead and kept it, but typically I’d never pay $50 for a necklace.

This store received some national attention when Michelle Obama wore this dress on The View that she said cost about $100.

So if you don’t take my word for it, take the word of our future first lady.
