The RETURN of the Return of the "If I had $300 to buy one item of clothing today..."

[Alex]

Ok, ok. If I had $300 to buy one item of clothing today...I'd buy whatever shirt was closest to the door at Macy*s and spend the rest at Cinnabon.

Well, think of me if you see something similar and I'll offer a finder's fee!

I love me some good colorful bakelite!

Haha! All right... all right...

You know. IRL, I actually don't do a lot of shopping. Probably because of the whole "I'd rather spend my money on X" thing (usually travel, gadgetry). But... this is more of a "well, if I had to spend it on clothes..."

As a more serious response to the "buying clothes online" question, while I don't do it Lani does so all of the time and I can't think of any major horror stories and returns are generally straightforward.

I'm in the market for a cute, fashionable trench coat. Something that will work in cool weather and that is more in the dressy casual vein. I only have parkas for cool, rainy weather and I need something that's a bit more formal for work or travel.

Let me know if you come across anything, fashionistas.

[Not Afraid]

What length are you looking for? I've seen some really nice "car length" coats recently.

I tried to buy this dress this morning, and it's on back order until JULY. So much for wearing it in June. Sigh.

Okay, I'm back. Not that I have ANYWHERE to wear it, but I adore this
