Argyle Makes Me Smile


Doesn't the picture above look so cute?! Having looked through many wedding photos in the last 7 months, I must say that some of my favorites are feet/shoe pictures. I definitely hope to find some cute yellow shoes to wear on the big day. While I am still searching for the perfect pair (something with a cute detail like a bow or a flower), I have had much better success finding something for Zac and his groomsmen. 

Zac and I were on the hunt for some grey and yellow argyle socks. Not only do they look really good with a grey suit, but they are certainly something that Zac would wear even after the wedding. It's also a fun way (in addition to the ties) for the guys to show some personality and have some fun with their suits.  

After a quick Google search for 'grey and yellow argyle socks' we found the perfect pair at Express.com. Other socks we found were upwards of $15 a pair so we were happy to see the Express price of $9.90 a pair. We were even happier to see that the store was offering a discount if you ordered 4 or more pairs of socks.


We decided to go ahead and order the socks now in case the offer had an expiration date. After adding 5 pairs of the yellow and grey socks to our shopping cart our total was $31.25. Thanks to the bulk purchase discount we were getting 5 pairs of socks for nearly $20 less than the full price cost. Even with the cheapest shipping cost of $8 we were still getting a pretty good deal...


...until the deal got even better. As fate would have it, we received an Express catalog in the mail today. As usual, the catalog came with some coupons, including one for $15 off an online purchase! Whoo hoo! The catalog was about to make it's way to our outside garbage can (since we never shop at Express) until we rescued it and put its coupon to good use.  


After entering the promo code our total dropped from $39.25 to $24.25! That comes to an average of $4.85 a pair! Such an awesome deal. The socks should be arriving within 5-7 days and I am very excited to see them. I can't wait to see the guys in their socks next May and hopefully get some photos like this one.
