Pink sequin camouflage stainless steel flask:  $2 @ Icing by Claire's (RSP:  $14.25)
Green sequin camouflage stainless steel flask:  $2 @ Icing by Claire's (RSP:  $14.25) 
Vintage charm hoop earrings:  $2 @ Icing by Claire's (RSP:  $14.25)
Gold metal flower cuff bracelet:  $2 @ Icing by Claire's (RSP:  $12)

I noticed that Claire's was having another 10 for $10 sale, so I knew that Icing would be having a 5 for $10 one.

The last time I went there, I was really interested in buying a leopard print flask.  Sadly, there weren't 4 other items I wanted.  I wasn't going to pay $7 for it alone, so I ended up leaving it there.

Besides, I don't drink, so I didn't think I would have much use for it anyway.  I thought I might put water in it, but I have a larger stainless steel bottle for that.

Flash forward to a few weeks ago.  I was going out for a night on the town, but didn't want to carry that heavy bottle around.  I sure could have used a little something to quench my thirst though, which immediately made my mind wander back to those cute little flasks I saw previously.

So I was really hoping they would have some nice ones when I came back today, and I was not disappointed.  I really struggled to pick the last two items, but ended up deciding on the baubles above.

I can't wear pierced earrings because they always make my ears bleed.  I ended up buying these ones because they had such cute charms on them..the lockets actually open up!  That was the clincher for me.

The other one I eyed in the past, but never had enough items to justify its purchase. 

I would have preferred walking away with 5 flasks, since those seem the most worth it..but I didn't see the point in having doubles.  For better or worse, this is definitely the start of a new love!

Just about all of the other times I've been there, they've always had flasks on clearance.  Most of them have been really gaudy though...I remember seeing these ones in particular.

I really can't imagine any self respecting person using the former!  Ironically, I doubt one who carries that item possesses any of the attributes inscribed thereon. 

I still really wish I could have gotten the leopard one though.  Oh well, maybe next time!
