If I had $300 to buy one item of clothing today I would buy..............

MerryPrankster · 01-16-2005, 03:50 PM

I can't stop thinking about the $141.00 I didn't use up on the first day. I didn't know we could make multiple purchases to reach the $300.00 mark. So....I'm going to pick up a few pairs of shoes today (if that's okay).

Gap Suede Flower Ballet Flats $39.50

And this interesting find at Neiman's, just strange enough to blow my remaining $$ on....

Lilly Pulitzer Lace-up Sneaker Mule - Reg. $170.00, Sale $102.00

These are actually pink with green.

Gayle, I secretly love all things Lilly P. :o Sssshhh, don't tell anyone. I even checked out this gigantic book from the library that was a pink/green nightmare of yummyness!! I LOVED it, but I got a "look" when I checked it out. It's a "lifestyle" book with all of Lilly's favorite things....food, decorating, shopping, entertaining. I kept it for six weeks....thinking about buying my own copy. I loved it!!

Your secret is safe with me!

I'm going to check the price on the Lilly book at Overstock.com -- you know, the big O. I love the green and pink combo. It would be adorable for a little girl's room. Unfortunately, I don't think my husband would appreciate me redecorating our boudoir in the color scheme. But I am thinking that my new LP sneaker mules are going to look great with my new green coach bag.

Okay I only have $276 to work with today (my husband was dying over this thread last night....thought it was hilarious that I was the first to work on credit!):

Diane Von Furstenberg Empire Waisted Dress $275
I'll work on the shoes again tomorrow....I just saw this dress while "shopping" yesterday and had to have it!

dsnylndmom · 01-17-2005, 12:13 PM

I think I'm going for Luggage today! I'll spend my extra $$ on Starbucks!

I like this one alot

MerryPrankster · 01-17-2005, 12:28 PM

These might be a little "old skool", but I always wanted a pair of Ferragamos. I worked at a swanky shoe store in SF in the '80s and sold Ferragamos to the swanky "ladies that lunch" and the "urban professionals".

I think I could build a few swanky outfits around these, starting with the shoes. These would also be marvelous for a martini lunch!

Salvatore Ferragamo - Deco Skimmer $290.00

I'll put my change torwards some fresh cut flowers.

Claire · 01-17-2005, 12:32 PM

Tina....quit linking me to purses....I spend all my time on Coach and Dooney anymore!!!

Gayle--I love Ferragamos! My nine year old wears a women's size five, so it's always fun to take her to shoe sales, so she can try on deeply discounted Ferragamos (We're talking $50!). I live through her feet. I'm afraid to try them on. If I do, I'll have to purchase. And they're NOT $50.

Gap Suede Flower Ballet Flats $39.50

Merry Prankster!! Fashionable minds think alike!!

I just bought those very same ballet flats in Spearmint.

I also wanted a pair in Lemonade to match my indigo suede Isaac Mizrahi jacket with lemonade-coloured topstitching!! (Although it was muy tempting, I have so many pink shoes already!

)

I saw this the other day while shopping at Nordstrom! I fondled it's buttery soft, apple-green goodness until I had to be unwillingly yoinked away.

Until I get to hopefully *fingers crossed* have it in real life, I'm postin' it here to keep me motivated & happy!

Juicy Couture, I love thee!
