Really Downeast? Really?

So the last night Lisa and I decided to do some serious digging shopping. That means we hit up our top 3 digging spots, Ross, TJ Max and Downeast Outlet. We seriously love the digging shopping because you never know what you are going to end up with. If you are going to do this type of shopping you have to go with a complete open mind and you certainly can not be looking for anything imparticular.

So, we headed to the Downeast Outlet. Now, I am certainly not bagging on the outlet by any means, let me tell you a little about it. It's like the rejects of the rejects as far as clothing is concerned. If it doesn't sell at the store it came from it heads to Downeast....and then if it does not sell there it heads to the outlet. This makes for some serious digging, but I enjoy it. Guilty pleasure. So I went and found these Diesel shoes. Loved them, tried them on, fit like a glove. Lisa also found a shoe to try on, same story. I then noticed that there was only one of the shoes, so of course I assumed that they just put one out (you know, like at Nordstrom rack...thought it was a safe assumption) There was no price on it so we asked the girl how much they were, they were only a dollar. Of course we get so excited about this, I am getting Diesel shoes that fit like a glove for a dollar! This is too good to be true...which of course it was. We asked the girl for the other shoe...what other shoe she says....they are missing the other shoe so they are just selling the one shoe. What the hell are we going to do with one shoe a piece? Although this would have been nice when I had the bunion surgery...I was only in the market for one shoe at that point. But really?
I think there is always weird stuff in the store but we really couldn't see past the shoe's...until we tried on this coat from J Crew. Lisa put it on and we thought it was so cute until she turned around. You can't really tell but there is a HUGE piece cut right out of the back of the coat. Like literally someone has just taken scissors to the poor thing. What are you going to do with this? Make a HUGE patch to cover it up?
But I really think this takes the cake. I found these swim bottoms (took my business away from K Mart if you know what I mean...). They are these adorable yellow and white polka dot bottoms that had huge red buttons on the front. Then I see marked on the price tag down from $19.99, Nasty Stain on the Back $4.99. If you are really going to be putting paper on something calling it a nasty stain you should probably just count it as a loss and throw it away. I need to know what kind of customer is going to be buying such a thing.

Needless to say we left disappointed and empty handed. But, we sure did laugh pretty hard so I guess it was worth our 20 minutes. Thanks Downeast...but really?
