Team Thailand leaves the country in a mere four days! In an effort to not be a last-minute packer, this weekend I began doing laundry, making lists and buying some travel necessities. After trying on my swimsuit last week and realizing that my post-pregnancy body shape has...ahem, shifted... I decided that one such necessity was a new pair of bottoms.
Since the clock was ticking, I decided to just buy multiple pairs of bottoms from Lands' End and return the ones I didn't want in order to make sure I had a good pair prior to departure. When I opened the box, Gib couldn't help but laugh:
What you are looking at is sixteen pairs of swimsuit bottoms in a vast array of styles, albeit all navy blue. Fortunately, we had a winner within the box! I was, however, mildly embarrassed to take the remaining pairs to Sears to get a rather large sum credited back to my card. The cashier looked at me, looked down at the stash, and looked back up at me incredulously. I tried to explain that I was leaving the country and didn't have time to go back and forth until I found a pair to my liking, but I'm not sure she appreciated my strategy!

THIS. is. fabulous. Only you would think of such a shopping strategy ; ) However, I am even more impressed that you bought them from LandsEnd and returned them to Sears....?!
I had no idea you could return LandsEnd stuff to Sears, I'm assuming they are the same company? I have totally thought about doing this for VS bathing suits since they don't sell them (or many styles anyway) in the stores.
love it. you are a gem mrs. park!
Genius way to shop!!! :)

It's true, folks. You can buy from Lands' End and return to Sears stores. Hello, convenience!
