Res Ipsa Loquitor... The Bargains Speak for Themselves

So I promised I would tell you about the bargain I found yesterday and I am a little late. My Cman got his shots today and the only way to keep him from crying was to sleep on mommy. Poor guy. However, to make up for my tardiness, I am going to tell you about two bargains! I am actually wearing them together tonight for a date night! Yay!

In the law, there is a negligence theory known as "res ipsa loquitor" meaning the act speaks for itself. Basically it means without any weighing of the facts of the situation, the mere fact that the situation occurred is enough to establish a claim of negligence.

Soo now that you know more about the law than you ever wanted to, I'll tell you how it relates to my bargains. A few days ago I got a sale email (I get about 20 a day) from Banana Republic that caught my attention. 50 percent off five full price items. Now usually I just delete these emails but when I see a 50 percent off, I pay attention. So I decided I would head over to Banana just to see. And I was getting a little frustrated because there really wasn't much I was seeing, until .....

The fur esque vest was super cute and originally 125.00. But with my email ... 67.50. Res Ipsa indeed. The bargain spoke for itself. I scooped it up and felt quite satisfied with my find.

So when I went to get dressed tonight I was reminded of another Res Ipsa bargain I found a while ago. One day at work right before maternity leave, I was ammm online shopping on Lohemanns.com. Lohemanns is like Westlaw for bargains. I could do a whole other post on the wonders of Lohemanns. Anyway, I was aimlessly browsing when I saw a Tibi shirt
for ... wait for it ... 50.00!!!!!! Originally 275.00. Done! I actually bought it when I was still pregnant for our first date night. It's silk so can't really wear it with the little one... i.e. spit up.

So here they are together!

Happy Friday!!!!
