Save an Extra 25% Off Clearance Items at Macy's

The Deal: Save an Extra 25% Off Clearance Items at macys.com! Offer Valid 28-May-2009 through 31-May-2009.

Why You Need It: If you're looking for a dress that actually extends past your mid-thigh and maybe even reaches your knees, Macy's is the place to go. I have been struggling to find special occasion dresses this season that aren't super short and have been pleased with what I'm seeing at Macy's. And of course, one never shops at Macy's unless there's a sale, so now's your chance, ladies!





DKNYC V-Neck Sleeveless Linen Dress, Orig. $139.00, Was $83.40, Now $62.55



$5 Sale at Urban Outfitters


Urban Outfitters is having a mad crazy $5 sale going on NOW! Stuff is selling out fast, but new items are added each day. Dozens of other items are heavily discounted, too. But $5?! I mean, c'mon, you can't beat that. Sorry for the short notice, I'm a bit behind on emails (when am I ever ahead?!). THANKS to reader DSeer for the tip!
