Forty Percent off Frenzy

The perks of working in retail are slowly starting to pay off. I have a fifty percent discount for my store which is very handy when you’re starting off.

In the beginning of working at Gap I did not feel the need to wear the stores clothing. It did not make me feel like it fit my style or that I would look remotely decent wearing the clothing.

They encourage you to do “fit” sessions where you try on the jeans and tops to get an idea of what you’re selling. Sometime between my first fit session to this past weekend I gradually bought a few pieces to put together regularly so I could appear more “Gap” like.

The few pieces held me for a while but I started to get bored. It is easy to get bored with my plain crew neck tees when the store gets new clothing in once a week it seems.

The need to get new clothes was weighing on my mind heavily and then out of nowhere I am surprised to see, Christmas had come early.

This past weekend we had a forty percent off already marked sale prices. Underwear that is usually twelve dollars was a measly $1.80. Sweater tops I had been drooling over were 10 dollars and some change after mark down.

I happily worked everyday this weekend and every time I came into the store I bought more and more items.

After doing some way over due spring cleaning I added my new Gap attire into my closet and I must say I feel very good about sticking it out and buying the items that were on sale. Sale prices are like heaven on earth.

The forty percent off frenzy was insane and very draining yet time flew by each shift and I got to do some floor shopping as well so at the end of the weekend it was very worth it.
