STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Great poll!

Now you've gotten me thinking...

1. Beverly Feldman embroidered pumps. I love them, they're very comfortable for a high heel, and they get lots of compliments when I wear them.

2. A pair of tan cords - impulse purchase from a Kohl's (I normally don't shop there). They were about $25 and I wish I'd gotten several other colors. They've held up well, are flattering, and so comfortable.

3. Gap cashmere hoodie. I never really considered "cashmere" and "hoodie" together, but got an awesome F&F discount on it and I have lived in it since I bought it in November.

4. Everything I bought at H&M this summer (we don't have H&M in my state). And for such great prices. I got three sweaters, a skirt, a tank, and boyshorts. And they're all still fab - holding up well and I have no buyer's remorse.

5. My sweater-coat from Nordie's. Another impulse purchase, but so warm and cozy and it makes me feel tall and sexy while I'm keeping warm.

Okay, I have to add a #6. NCshopper reminded me of my Paolo shoes...so my lace d'orsays. I love these shoes and wear them every chance I get. *s*

The ones that really stick out are...

1. Grey wool jacket from Banana Republic.

2. Black leather bag (my all-time favorite bag) which actually is Apostrophe from Sears.

3. Trouser pants from AE.  These I wear day after day in warm weather.

4. White Coach purse.  Goes with so many outfits.

5. Brown leather Dr. Scholl's slids with the rhinestone buckle, another warm weather staple.

let's see...

This is a great poll!  My faves are/were:

•   My brown BR wool herringbone suit (skirt, pants, and jacket)
•   Silver Bernardo sandals
•   Frye Harness boots
•   Red Linea Paolo pumps
•   Brown Seychelles wedges

  I do pretty well when I shop.  I'm so into planning out my purchases that I end up with items that really serve me well.  The downfall is that my wardrobe isn't terribly spontaneous feeling, but I do have a lot of items that work well together.

ETA:  OMG!  I totally forgot my favorite purchases of 2005!!!  Ironically, both came from Target--my brown tiered $13 skirt and my $12 silver ballet flats!  I lived in both of those pieces this summer

I love these Birks so much...

I realize Birks aren't "fashionable" but I think they look cool and they're so comfy.

This sweater...

It looks good cause it's cashmere and it's so easy to just throw on.

This coat...

That I stalked all fall and totally love and adore.

Citizens Faye jeans...

I look 10 lbs thinner in these.

#5

i searched for two years for the perfect black boot with a wedge heel that can handle the snow/rain, and the best part is that they were less than $70! 

sorry for the huge pics.  this poll was great, it made me realize that i need to invest most of my $$ in accessories (which i kinda already knew..)

Maddie - I feel maybe you should buy it too!

I dont have pics but my favorite buys of 2005 are:

! red puma cross over shoes

!purple target coat

! blue cult jeans

!and beaters in a million different colours I wear these always

My grey, purple and pink Puma Speedcats that I got on sale. I totally forgot about those until I saw this question!

A black turtleneck, herringbone martins, and a grey zippered sweatshirt thing from BR.

Two Scrapbook graphic tees from Delias that are so soft and broken in.

Reaction wedge boots. I'm really clumsy and tend to injure myself a lot in the winter, but I have never slipped while wearing these. I should have bought them in brown, too.
