Cheap drawers, broadcloth shirts and monograms

I have a disease involving monogrammed crap. I like it--alot. I used to make fun of those southern girls who tool around town with the curlz monogram on the back of their car in pink and green complete with polka-dots (and dont get me wrong, I still do--for that is tacky) but I became obsessed with monogrammed towels and glassware about a year ago and the trend continues. Dress shirts are my new thing. I bought Master P one for christmas and I got it on clearance at jcp for dirt cheap, but a womens broadcloth shirt is a little harder to come by...unless you go to Lands End!Yes, that is right. The catalog full of unflattering bathing suits that were "church appropriate" (if you ever were at girls camp you know what I am talking about) and polo shirts in every color of the rainbow (and some not ever to be found in nature) had some surprisingly great buys on button down shirts. I found this broadcloth shirt for only 9.99 and with monogramming it was only 14.99. Now I shall be the belle of the dorkulus ball!
There were all sorts of other monogrammable goodies that I would wear shamelessly. I also hit up the Brooks Brothers outlet here in Ham-town (which would be a misnomer--the real ham-town is in VA) and found some more dirt cheap crap. Merry Christmas, friends and family! I am cheap and you are getting cheap crap!

  1. You know, anybody who can't appreciate being at the receiving end of a good bargain doesn't deserve a present anyway. Also, was this really posted December 6? It just came up on my feed-reader, this is why I ask. Also: the broadcloth shirt link wouldn't push through for me, but I know this Land's End you speak of, and haaaaaayell yeah.
