help me decide what to do with my bloomies rewards/coupons.

lynnie · Chanel

could you find a pair of jeans you liked that are cheaper? Like from madewell or something, and scrap the $150 ones all together?

I'd choose jeans over shoes most likely, but thats because i need jeans like whoa. but unless you find an amazing pair at bloomies, i wouldn't force it. i'd just get the shoes in that case.

hmm- where'd you get the $25 off coupon? I am eyeing some shoes at bloomies.

Kelly · Hermes

I guess you can't get both?

I love those shoes! But if you're in super dire need of jeans, like you're doing laundry every couple days just to be able to have something to wear the next day....then jeans would be more practicle.

Get the Sam Edelman's. I just got them in yellow and wore them all day yesterday - they are so super comfy!

The $25 off $100 coupon was from when they sent me a new card, as my old one had expired. But Friends and Family is next week... wink

If Madewell made wide leg jeans, I would've been all over them but they don't. I'm hesitating to buy the skinnies because I know wide leg is a lot more flattering/forgiving even though I can pull both off.

My jeans situation is fairly dire. I own a lot of dresses and skirts though, so it's not like I have to do laundry ever two days just to wear something. I think only two of them actually fit me properly and don't have holes/crap all over.

My shoe situation is dire too, in the sense that this pair would fill a color gap and fit my goal to own the most covetable collection of ridiculously walkable shoes ever. wink

i vote for the shoes, i think they can make a lot of difference to an outfit. and also, they're soooo pretty!!!!!!!

rlutz · Chanel

I vote for the shoes...I love the color

ILoveChoo · Hermes

the shoes. Because honestly, if you really need jeans that badly you'll end up getting them sooner or later anyway. And then you'll have both. Plus, I dont' have in it me to tell someone not to buy shoes...its pretty much against my religion.

littlebean · Kate Spade

If you're like me, you dread trying on and buying jeans (they never fit, they're so expensive and they're rarely all that exciting), but it sounds like this would the perfect opportunity to buy a nice new pair, so that's what I voted for!

carmenb513 · Coach

I say jeans, but those sam edelmans are cute!

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

I love the Sam Edelman's, what a great color, I can see you working them w/many outfits. smile

MissAllycat · BCBG

I say go for the Sams. That color is rockin'.

squishy · Coach

those beautiful shoes! plus, you can get similar/better pricing on denim elsewhere.

Kitty · Hermes

Shoes!

jaymiek · Coach

I say the Sam Edelman's, because $30 is too good of a deal to pass up! Plus you could always find other places that have discount codes where you wouldn't have to pay tax on jeans either.

athomemeljo · Nine West

I vote for the shoes. I have them and even the men in the office made (good) statements about them. I think about 10 people stopped me during the day and asked, "Where did you get your shoes???"

alagirl · Kenneth Cole

I'd go with the shoes.

ViViDogWear · Kate Spade

i say if you find the perfect pair of jeans, get those first. but don't settle for so-so jeans at the stake of the flats.
