Nanette Lepore shrug
Permalink Closed


I am really in love with this shrug and have been thinking about it since seeing it back in feb or early march. Normally I wouldn't even consider paying this much for something trendy ($215), but I think I might be able to wear this for awhile. For now it can be worn easilly, dressed either up or down, but I think that because it's so pretty I'd be able to wear it for dressy spring/summer events (weddings, etc) well into the future. I also think that I'd be able to pull it out five years from now and wear it without looking totally "2005."

What does everyone think? Should I go for it or should I pass?

Sounds like you really want the shrug and if you can justify the purchase and afford it, go for it.  Personally, I think it's cute but NOT $215 cute.  That's just my opinion though.

I agree with the girls, but I have made crazy expensive purchases all out of pure love (hello!  $187 SPACEBOOTS.)  So sometimes love wins over money.  Even if it's not worth it to us, doesn't mean it isn't worth it to you.  I have a Nanette blazer from a while back and I still like it even if it was a little trendy at the time.  I don't think it's too trendy to keep wearing and it looks like something you could keep forever.

I think you guys are probably right. I've found that if I have to really debate something it's usually not worth it. Maybe I'll think about it until the end of the week. I'd love to wait for sale but I've found that Neiman's sale stuff usually goes very quickly and usually my size is gone before I can get to it.

Maybe I'll search some more and see if i can find it somewhere I can get it with a discount code. I know that goclothing.com has it in black.

I know....I've seen the white one and the picture doesn't really do it justice. I know that the shrug itself is worth the money, it's just the thought of paying that much for one that bothers me. I like the black too, and I'd probably buy it with the code but they only have XS left. I keep telling myself it's too expensive, but I have the money and I can't think of anything else I'd rather spend it on right now. I think I'm starting to talk myself into it.

Yes, buy it so that I can live vicariously thru you, hehe   I love it and am praying to the shopping gods that it will go on sale or I can find a suitable replica.
