Why so blurry?
Not exactly CASH money, but close enough! I have a Dover credit card with which I earn sporadic gift certificates. A credit card that gave me airline miles would have probably been more useful, but getting these babies is FUN. I just need to forget the fact that I have to spend $2,500 to earn just one, $10.00 gift certificate. This little pile of woohoo took me months to earn and $7,500 in purchases. Before my mom freaks out, I do not owe anything on this card; I just charge stuff and then pay it back at the end of the month so that I can earn points, but it takes me forEVER to earn anything. And once I do earn a gift certificate, it takes me just as long to decide what to spend it on! I decided to replace my Roeckl Chester riding gloves with my $30.00 in gift certificates. At $48.99 a pair, they're not exactly cheap which explains why my current pair is very threadbare, holey, and rather faded. With my "discount," I paid a less painful $23.94 (darn shipping!). They're not here yet as I only ordered them earlier in the week, but I am looking forward to using a pair of gloves that don't have holes in the fingers. The Roeckl Chester Gloves come in some nice color combos; my first pair were all black, and I also have a pair of white ones for showing. This time I ordered the black with brown trim. I know these are on the pricier end of the spectrum, but I can afford it, and I really like them. I think they're worth the money, especially with a gift certificate. 
Alas - no purple.
If only they had some purple detailing ...

My husband's CC has miles so I just use his for that and mine for this! I think we save more money with his card though. :0) 6/4/2014 05:41:06 am
I wanted to try the navy with white, but I couldn't tell if the whole palm was white or not. Since I use my gloves while grooming, etc. white palms would look horrible at the end of the first day. Let me know what color the palms are if you know. :0) Comments are closed.
