Buying Canadian: Lucian Matis

Posted on June 3, 2012

Part of my trying to be responsible includes giving myself a clothing allowance. That way, if I want something I save my allowance and then shop.

When I heard about the Lucian Matis sample sale, I made plans to go. I usually don’t go to sample sales as I’m not a sample size. Then I found out that it’s not just samples available. I met up with Brigitte and Gail and we headed up to the sale. I got work and event clothes for a steal.
