Ever read the book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie?
Well, I felt a little like the mouse yesterday when I was out and about running errands.
After dropping off some paperwork and picking up my summer pay stubs at school, I decided to stop by a cute boutique one street over.
This boutique is known for its jewelry…its Sorrelli jewelry.
I was on a mission.
I usually am.
I’d discovered a surprise in my paycheck…my Reading Endorsement pay incentive.
It was more than enough to treat myself to something nice plus have money left over to take care of a couple of household things.
I’d been wanting one more set of bling for a while.
I love the Running Water that the Mr. had started me off on…
He’d also bought the matching earrings.
In February, I purchased the necklace after receiving my Fred Jones training money…
I also have Auburn-themed Sorrelli…
Now, though, I wanted a color scheme that would go with the school-themed colors…red, black, and white.
Being an Auburn fan, I could not purchase jewelry with red in it. Just wasn’t going to happen if I didn’t want the Mr. to change the locks on me.
I walked into the shop and tried on three different colors.
Snow Bunny was the first one, but I didn’t want a pastel stone in the mix since Running Water already has pastels.
I also tried on White Bridal, which was lovely but did not look good up against my skin.
When I put on Midnight Moon, I was in love…
The necklace was shorter and much lighter than the others I’d tried on. The color, black, with the clear stones looked good against my skin.
Of course, I couldn’t stop with the necklace, so I perused the bracelets…
As I walked to the register, I realized I was forgetting something.
We went back to the counter, and the young gal pulled out a bucket full of earrings! I tried on quite a few pairs before setting on these…
I was nervous when I thought about what my total would be, so I was surprised when the girl told me that I would get a 15% discount for purchasing three pieces! I would up saving $37.50, which covered most of the cost of the earrings!
I wore the jewelry out of the store…that’s how pleased I was.
I’m happy because now I have bling to wear with any outfit I select, and I do like to sparkle when I go out. That’s one thing I’ve picked up from my friends, Barb and Maegan.
