The Item: Happy Birthday Bargains

Much like everyone, I enjoy celebrating birthdays. No, not because I'm growing a year older, but because it's that time of the year where I get an excuse to shop for myself and not feel guilty about it the next day. This year though, since I already got an awesome gift from my girlfriend, I decided to tone it down a bit. Yes, I bought two items, but both were on sale. Doesn't mean I settled though. Essential shirt, check! Classic blazer, you bet! Despite not being as extravagant as I expected, I still managed to give myself a happy birthday without exactly breaking bank.

A navy blue number from shirting icon Lacoste at 50%? Sold!

A striped charcoal gray blazer from the +J Uniqlo line at half-price? I'm game!
