Your latest fashion purchase?
 
What's the last item of clothing you bought? My last purchase was pretty boring - a couple of black tops for work (on the argument that you can never have too many black tops for work;) )

I currently have my eye on a really cool pair of boots - kind of cowboyish, without being over the top. They're $289 though, so I have to think about it carefully...:rolleyes:

MickeyD 03-15-2005 03:02 PM

Lets see...within the past week I bought:

A white Michael Kors purse
A bunch of T-shirts (you can never have too many T's, right?) & two pairs of Jeans from Target
A pair of overalls (SUHwanky, I know! They're for my mission trip)
A new VS bra

And that's just the fashion stuff....I think it's time for my Amex card to go in the freezer! :eek:

I LOVE the Michael Kors purse....I've been lusting after it for a few months now, and finally broke down and got it.

Not Afraid 03-15-2005 04:06 PM

And Orange Beret.

alphabassettgrrl 03-15-2005 04:09 PM

I had a shopping spree at JCPenney's and bought a bunch of shirts, some for me and some for hubby. I actually have some cute stuff to wear!

dsnylndmom 03-15-2005 06:02 PM

A black tee that says "I'm the Evil Twin" in red shiny writing
And 3 pair of flip flops

Prudence 03-15-2005 10:41 PM

I think the last things I bought were a black Jones New York skirt and a bright green (chartreuse?) silk chenille Eileen Fisher sweater. Nordstrom sale, you know.

I finally broke down and bought a nice smei-dressy skirt set. I have finally come to grips with the fact that I will never be built the same as before I had The (10 lb) Boy. I needed at least 1 nice outfit in case I ever go somewhere and need a nice outfit.

mistyisjafo 03-19-2005 10:25 AM

I went crazy on Wednesday. I originally went looking for a formal too!

A pink with small white pokka dots dress
A cream colored shrug to go with the dress
A pair of Bongo purple wedge shoes and black loafers with a small heel from Etienne Aigner
The actual formal - Lime green halter top with a white stripped skirt. It's sort of a 50's 60's thing since the event is themed as such. It's TOO cute!

Oh, and I never wear dresses. How funny is that?

TheatreTech 03-19-2005 12:23 PM

A black blazer from Goodwill for $3.

...about 2 months ago.

UvaGirl 04-05-2005 04:33 PM

I'm digging up this thread again because I've just been shopping:D

My purchases:

A new layered T for wearing with jeans at the weekend. cute, but not too exciting.

Light tweedy blazer, with cool slightly frayed edges - this is cute. I'm mainly going to wear it with jeans and Ts underneath, along with some cool earrings. Yay!

Anyone else?

MickeyD 04-05-2005 04:37 PM

I bought a pair of Bear Paw Fugg slippers to wear to Easter Mass. Now I feel the need to go shopping to have a better purchase to report. :D

UvaGirl 04-05-2005 04:38 PM

Glad I could help:D

Eliza Hodgkins 1812 04-05-2005 04:40 PM

Sparkly gold shoes.

UvaGirl 04-05-2005 05:08 PM

Argh! I forgot the black ballet flats I got last week - a bargain at $24.95!:D

Cropped, cuffed black trousers
Green sparkley sweater set.

That might be it for a while.

I just bought these in black. I have nothing to wear them with. Clearly I have further fashion purchases ahead.

Brigitte 04-05-2005 08:03 PM

I love Aerosoles. I used to wear them constantly when I worked in retail. Granted that was years ago, but good, comfortable shoes are hard to find.

O, those are too cute! Yes!! You must spend a large amount of money on a new outfit to go with them.

I think I have a shoe thing going on. 4 new shoes. One I actually needed.

Prudence 04-09-2005 09:44 PM

I just got back from the "big" mall - BellSquare has a plus-size Talbot's. That has petites. 1 pair denim shorts, 1 pair cropped denim pants, one blue sweater set (tank that doesn't show off my bra!), and one periwinkle linen shirt with cool square buttons set on the diamond. (Plus some Prescriptives make-up from Nordy's. I've become my mother.)

Prudence 04-15-2005 10:09 PM

Bras on sale. So many colors....

And when I find shorts that fit -- buy one in each color.

But most important -- the free Seattle U School of Law sweatshirt I won by filling out a survey. Because one of the top 10 textures on earth is the smooth-yet-fuzzy inside of a new sweatshirt.

Not Afraid 04-15-2005 11:43 PM

I bought a new skirt (white and blue large floral pring) and 2 T-shirts (white and black in keeping with my exciting wardrobe color choices) all from the Gap (as well as some socks). I also purchased a pale pink empire waist, bell sleeve top from Banana. This is all, presumable, for our upcoming Tokyp trip. Good excusse, huh?

CoasterMatt 04-16-2005 05:26 AM

I got my best girl a new tattoo, and I got a new Sunday go to meetin' hat...

MerryPrankster 04-16-2005 07:40 AM

I bought two skorts (skirts that have shorts built in) in white and salmon. Now I can hang upside down on the monkey bars with no one will seeing my undies. ;) Also a white OP 'Aloha' t-shirt. I'm getting ready for summer, baby!

mistyisjafo 04-16-2005 11:06 PM

I went purse crazy. 3 purses even! One Gucci knockoff clutch, Beijo black purse and a red Beijo wallet. & How do I pay my mortgage? I ask myself

UvaGirl 05-04-2005 01:59 PM

Well, yesterday I did a wee bit of shopping...I got:

~ a new A-line denim skirt for wearing with my knee length boots
~ 2 new basic merino wool tops - great for with jeans (brown & moss green)
~ a cute new dusty pink scarf - it's so soft! I'm obsessed with scarves at the moment!

Anyone else?

Prudence 05-04-2005 02:26 PM

I have been on a shopping spree. Damn vacation. Provides the perfect excuse. All told the past few weeks I've purchased two pair of cropped pants, three pair shorts, one sweater set, one beautiful but ridiculously expensive linen shirt, canvas shoes, sandals, four t-shirts in every shade of blue imaginable. Just yesterday I got my lastest shipment -- three tank tops (mango, mint green, and peony pink) and a kiwi green windbreaker with zip-off hood. Unfortunately, someone zipped off the hood before packaging it. Fortunately, customer service was very nice, open 24 hours, and shipping out a new one express witha pre-paid envelope to return the other. Any more it's worth paying extra to know you'll get customer service when you need it.

Giant Chicken 05-04-2005 10:49 PM

I bought Yellow shoes from Wanted, Black Tank, Orange Long Sleeve, New Sandals, thongs, and a Ren & Stimpy DVD.

I would wear that DVD if I could.

€uroMeinke 05-04-2005 11:39 PM

I was given a set of Rabbit ears at Coachella while seeing the Gram Rabbit set - I think I've joined their cult...

My latest fashion purchase? A pair of Jeans from The Gap.

Boss Radio 05-06-2005 10:31 PM

I just received my brand-new vintage 60s era Chipmunks T-shirt in the mail. I think it will make me look rather dandy. I shall wear it to work. Proudly.

wendybeth 05-06-2005 10:42 PM

Three t-shirts, a bottle opener, shot glass and key chain from the Rock Hall of Fame.:D

MickeyD 05-06-2005 11:50 PM

Once again, I've been hemmoraging money.

I bought two new pairs of cute sneakers, a pair of balletish looking shoes, a couple t-shirts from the Gap, a cute black Michael Kors watch,a Disneyland sweatshirt....and hell, I'd wear the gold record from the CD set if it wasn't see-through. ;)

UvaGirl 05-08-2005 08:10 PM

Got a cool new antique-y bracelet at the weekend for under $20. I'm a happy girl:)

AllyOops! 05-09-2005 07:52 PM

If you only knew how long I have put off posting to this Thread, for fear of..putting people off. :( I'm kinda sorta a humongo shopaholic.

So, I'll post only the shoes I've added to my wardrobe in the last few months! I'm not sure I'll even remember them all! ( Dreamy sigh..I love shoes! :) )

~Shoes~
*Jimmy Choo Silver Medina Moroccan ballet flats
New for Spring! I had been waiting forever for their debut! Yay!

*Manolo Blahnik silk floral stillettos with jewel encrusted clasp
I kinda admit I wore these with my jammies the other night. Really. If only for 5 minutes!

*Michael Kors platform espradrille slides with black nubuck leather criss-cross straps
These are just so fun! They called out to me. And I obeyed.

*Marc Jacob chocolate suede flip flops with berry floral instep
These screamed at me like a banshee. So I adopted them.

*Coach charcoal satin & black leather logo tennies
Because I needed new tennies! Well, kinda. Maybe not. But they needed me!

*Bebe white leather stillettos with silver studs and pink & blue crystal heart floral applique
I can barely balance in these, but that's okay! Because they have pink sparklies.

*Steven black leather stillettos with black center stone, tiny black crystals, and tiny midnight blue beads that dangle all across the ankle chain strap
Okay! I admit I wore these with my jammies too! Five minutes top!

*Three pairs of satin ballet espradrilles with satin ankle ribbon ties in cherry blossom, pool, & lipstick red
I love ballet flats! Especially with satin ribbons. It's so ballerina, which of course I wanted to be as a little girl.

*Gap spearmint coloured suede ballet flats with little matching suede blossom on top!
So Springy!

*Gap fuschia suede moccasins with chocolate leather & gold sequined detail
So fun!

*Pink floral canvas strappy platform espradrilles
So pink!

I think that's it! I actually have an icky knot in my stomach posting my weakness. I never, ever share my purchases. :(

I'm hanging my head in shame..which allows me a better view of my shoes, actually! :blush: ;)

UvaGirl 05-09-2005 07:58 PM

Dammit, I'd give you mojo, but I'm not allowed:(

Never feel ashamed for your shopping threads - I love them!

I'm a ballet flats gal too, so I totally understand your purchases - where would we be without our shoes?!:D

Edited to add: I'm currently lusting after this cool pink tweedy coat, which I'd wear with jeans...I can't get it out of my head. Grrrrrrrrrr...

dsnylndmom 05-12-2005 07:51 AM

I swore I wouldn't be posting in this thread since I"m trying to lose weight, but I blew it yesterday and the day before! :blush:

Two pair of bermuda shorts one in chocolate and one in black

One coral empire waist halter(great when trying to lose weight!)trimmed in silver

One green empire waist halter with silver and black accents

Silver jeweled leather flip flops

hawiian print strapless dress

The cutest most adorablest Black Nine West bag with multicolor dots and bamboo handles! It's sooooo cute!!

OH I also picked up a new curling/straightening iron.

I am still lusting over a red croc Nine West bag that I can NOT seem to get out of my head :blush: and I just placed a big order at Sephora(count for fashion? ;) )

Not Afraid 05-12-2005 09:05 AM

I was trying to avoid traffic yesterday after taking Chris to the airport, so I stopped at Nordstroms. Bad idea! I ended up with 2 pair of Puma Mostros, one black ripstop with purple accents and one mesh in lavender. Oh dear.

But, boy are they cute!

€uroMeinke 05-14-2005 01:36 PM

A Disneyland Hotel Retro T-Shirt - they've got some cool merchandise too for the 50th.

mousepod 05-14-2005 01:49 PM

Just picked up a funky pair of Oliver Peoples sunglasses. Nothin' like a new pair of shades...

UvaGirl 05-15-2005 04:59 PM

I seem to be doing quite a bit of shopping lately...:evil:

I discovered at the weekend that my knee-length boots have finally given up on me. It's not surprising really - they've been around the world with me 3 times and I've totally thrashed them. However, I can't live without them, so guess what I just purchased?:) Time to stop shopping for a while, methinks....

dsnylndmom 05-15-2005 07:17 PM

3 new v-neck tee's today. You can never have too many ;)

Tref 05-17-2005 04:28 PM

I just purchased a nice Hawaiian blazer with matching pants.

Eliza Hodgkins 1812 05-17-2005 04:33 PM

I would like to purchase a fashionable lie detector, so that I can foil the bull**** artist known as Tref every once in a while. Just once in a while!

As for myself, I recently purchased a Sapphire colored blouse. It's my new favorite color.

I'm currently obsessed with blazers. I already own 2, and yet I had to physically stop myself buying another one yesterday. Overkill, much? I did however see a lovely pink tweed knee length coat that would look cute with jeans. I need a pay rise <sigh>

Two? That doesn't sound very obsessed to me (unless they are both the same cut and color). A blazer can change a "casual Friday" outfit into an "any day of the week" outfit. And they're great in the Air Conditioning in the summer.

Currently I'm "between sizes" on almost all my blazers and it's driving me crazy (but at least I'm going the right direction!)

Not Afraid 05-17-2005 05:35 PM

I just ordered some comfy black ballet flats and some black pants. I love black. Wear more black! Black is beautiful!

The madness continues! New black fishnet tights for with the aforementioned new black knee-length boots:)

Stan4dSteph 05-18-2005 08:55 AM

I just got a pair of Adidas Daroga Mesh shoes a couple of weeks ago. Comfy and well-ventilated for warm summer days.

I also got this tank top from Sugoi. Cute and good internal support for someone with a larger bust. :)

MickeyD 05-18-2005 11:15 AM

I bought a Brighton bracelet a couple weeks ago. It's really cute, it says "Love" and "Hope" on the side of it. :)

That "vintage" Disneyland shirt I posted about way back when is finally MINE!!! It's the one with the castle concept art and "Disneyland" in the old font. And it's MINE! ALL MINE! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I just might wear it on the 17th.

2 wrap around sweaters (one black regular length, one pink, shrunken)
1 pair of slacks that have to go back (totally cute, way to big)
1 cami
1 layering tee
1 scarf cami

Target attacked me too but I escaped with only a crinkled lacey cami.

I really need to find a good blazer. Actually, two would be nice. I know that I'm probably not going to be in serious need for another year, as I'll be going to school full-time for probably another 2 years, but I think picking up one right now for that casual, but dressy look for random occasions would be a good thing.

I'd like to find one that would look as good with a blouse underneath, as it would with a band tee. It would be worth lots of money to find one that could go with anything...

Not Afraid 05-28-2005 12:28 PM

What size are you in BR stuff? I've got a trunk full of classic blazers and suits that are too small for me.

Drince88 05-28-2005 05:15 PM

Well, I just purchased two pairs of (boring) khaki pants today.

There is one designer of pants that I've found fits me virtually all of the time, and it's a blue moon when a different designer does, so unless I'm ultra desperate, I only try on Claiborne-family pants. So I go to Macy's (the only chain in this part of the world that carries them, I think) and they have like 5 khaki Elisabeth pants in the Women's section, and 3 of them have that dreaded P at the end of them. Of course, the other two weren't my size. So they look up to see if they can find them at any of the other local stores. NO. NO KAHKI PANTS IN MY SIZE IN ANY MACY'S IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA! :mad: It's blasted hot May (almost June) and my old khaki’s are too big (which is a good thing, but...).

So as I'm fuming off, I remember I wanted to look at the "good" earrings (which were on sale 50%) and then I remembered I was now wearing the "crossover" size between departments, so I went to the Misses section and they HAD ones that should fit, and they did! So I also got a different style pair off the clearance rack! The only down side is the cotton twill ones are triple pleated, and I really wanted flat-front. Hey, they fit and are the size I want, I can't actually expect to find the STYLE I want too, can I?

(Oh, and I got some nice "knot" earrings to wear every day for what'll end up being 2/3 off - dang, remind me not to look at jewelry in the department stores unless it's on super-duper sale, they've got to have some huge markups on regular price!)

aah, the Disney Magic. My, she was yar.

Anyway.... just had my one and only fashion day before our big trip. 1st stop: trip to the salon to bid my long hair adieu (I'll be sending it to Locks of Love, in case anyone is interested). 2nd stop: Lucky, for a ridiculously expensive pair of jeans, some pants and an ironic jacket. 3rd and final stop: a funky shoe store for a pair of Tsubos. And now I rest.

Not Afraid 05-29-2005 10:42 AM

I can't wait to see the ironic jacket! I'm not sure I even know what an ironic jacket is!

I've been about inexpensive indispensible wardrobe items, like peasant style tops (though thoroughly more modern) and camisoles. I finally stopped by the Zara in SCP, and picked up a cute stretch polo shirt in aqua blue. Loving it!

I think next stop: Shoes & accessories!!
