My 21st Birthday at the Great Northern Sale

Yesterday, I celebrated my 21st birthday. Yeah, I know. I'm old and I told my self what better way to celebrate my coming of age than to shop at the biggest sale of the year? Yep. I celebrated my birthday at the Great Northern Sale at SM City North EDSA.

Thank you so much SM City North EDSA! :D

My avid readers would of the remember to arrive early at the Great Northern Sale because I advised them in my previous post.


I left the house at around 10:30 AM because I wast still online thanking my friends and family for greeting me on my birthday. I took the MRT (train) because it's much faster than the bus but as usual, the MRT's crowded.


I immediately went to the Admin Office of SM North EDSA to claim the GC they have for me :D

After claiming my GC, I then headed to the Department Store to do my shopping.

This is what it looked like inside SM North EDSA's Department Store. Thousands of people scrambling to take home their great finds. 

Yes, there were major discounts everywhere you look. Clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, things you use at home. Marked down items were everywhere!

I needed dress shirts (long-sleeved, short-sleeved and three-fourths) to add to my wardrobe and for work (I don't mean office work) and events so I made my way to the Men's Department. Piles and piles of shirts were on the display table. Hundreds were also hung on racks. That was just euphoric :D


I didn't bring a lot of cash. I'm officially unemployed starting yesterday, so you know why. There were a lot of nice shirts but I need to pick the perfect articles of clothing. Pair that with my OCD and you've got yourself a persnickety 21-year old.

Here's what I got from SM North EDSA's Great Northern Sale:

This gray-accented navy blue three-fourths from Dansen is just perfect for casual/formal wear. I can wear this with jeans on a normal day or pair it with black pants for a church service on Sundays. I got this, paying half of its original price.

50% off! Where can you find that type of discount for a branded dress shirt? Only at the Great Northern Sale!

I studied in a school which required its students to to come to class in corporate attire. This is maybe where my penchant for formal/business outfits came from.

Long-sleeved shirts of Wall Street's New York Collection usually sells for more than 1000 pesos (about 25 US dollars). This one sells for exactly that.

However, because of the Great Northern Sale, I got this white-striped purple long-sleeved shirt for almost half of its regular selling price.

Seriously! Wall Street's New York Collection for almost half the price! Nothing beats the discounts at the Great Northern Sale!

 
After shopping, I bought 12 pieces of brownies from Brownies Unlimited for only 99 PhP which normally sells for 125 PhP. This too, is in connection with the Great Northern Sale.


There was a fashion show later that night at The Block, SM North EDSA, but because I have a meeting with JIVE Youth Leaders that same night, I wasn't able to watch. 

Here's a pic of the fashion show's set-up:

Thank you so much SM City North EDSA for the GC and for being a part of my 21st birthday celebration. This truly is a wonderful gift to me.


Looking forward to the next Great Northern Sale!
