The RETURN of the Return of the "If I had $300 to buy one item of clothing today..." - Page 2

300 smackers? Hmm, I'd buy a black suit -- old school style. And a walking stick. And maybe, because I'm cool, the clerk would throw in some socks. Sweet!

Times like this I wish Anthropologie wasn't so sizeist. I'd LOVE a skirt like that dress!

You betcha! Wear it in good health.

Today it's a Tocca white blouse for $198. I look nothing like the model but I think it's a wearable numbah.

To go with, these lovelies from Sundance for $88

And I still have enough left over for lunch.

I'm torn, should I go for darkstone?

or sandstone?

Kevy Baby · 05-13-2007, 09:18 AM

I say go with the sandstone. It brings out the color in your eyes better.

Also, I've heard sandstone is the new black.

I'm going to take 2 days worth of shoping and make a complete, but daring outfit. I'm going to have to see how I feel about mixing prints in this way. I think it works.....for now.

Wow, can you find a similar bakelite piece for under 150? Not in SF you can't, I'm green, that's fabulous!

I think the mix of prints could work. Last night, only because Real Simple put the idea in my head (I never think of these things on my own), I wore a black skirt that has sort of an embroidered swirly pattern in white with a black top with white pin dots. No one asked me if I got dressed in the dark.

I so need these pants for dancing. They would be perfect with my wedgies.
