Taking Advantage of Clearance Prices at Sears

posted in home |

As I’ve said before, my nephew is getting married in July and we need new clothes to wear to the wedding.  I got my dress purchased a few weeks ago and we were sort of thinking about waiting to start looking for my daughter’s dress just in case she has a growth spurt between now and then.  However, I’ve changed my mind about waiting and I think we really need to take advantage of the clearance sales going on right now.  The wedding is only 3 months away, how much can a 13 year old grow in 3 months?!

As luck would have it, Sears is currently having a phenomenal clearance sale with prices that are 75-80% off of original prices on most fall and winter clothing and the sale is going on from now until April 18th.

While I was checking out the Sears website, I found the cutest dress that I can’t wait to show my daughter. It has a beautiful sheer layer that is dotted with sequins, sparkly, but not tacky. The dress has little spaghetti straps and a tie in the back. I really love the color of this one, it’s called “wine”. As a mom, I really like the length, not too short, but still looks young, appropriate for a 13 year old. The picture is a little small, but what do you think?

Click Here I just hope my daughter likes it as much as I do. :-D

    We just attended a formal wedding for a family member last weekend. My 14-year-old daughter wore a dress kind of similar in cut to the one you’re showing. Only it was tea length. I was amazed at how much work it was just getting my family ready to attend a formal wedding!

    Another good place to look for formal dresses is on eBay. I bought my brand new Banana Republic cocktail dress (normally almost $200) for around $40 including shipping. It still had the tags on it!

    Such a cute dress! I can’t believe some of the sale prices I have seen on there in the past week. Did she like it when you showed her?

    Jennifer – I just saw your post on the dresses you purchased for the wedding. They’re all very pretty and I enjoyed seeing the accessories you went with. I’m still trying to decide on accessories, so it’s nice to see options.

    Laurie – My daughter actually picked something out quite similar. I’ll have to get a picture up of it. Funny thing is, she wants to wear her Converse sneakers with the dress!
