Did more damage, all at Anthro this time. Got a beautiful necklace, this shirt (picturing it with denim capris in spring, can't wait!)

And this dress. A bit wrinkled, but I don't care! I had been trying to get this dress for a long time (it came out in Fall 05 I think) but it was always sold out. I just happened to catch a glimpse of it behind a ton of other clothes - it was the only one of course - and my size. It was meant to be. Plus, it rang up on sale for $70 even though the tag still said $128!

I've been on a sort-of shopping ban for the last month, but I was desperate for work pants. Plus it's my birthday weekend so I feel somewhat justified.

From Express - black editors, black editor gauchos, and the banded bottom v-neck dolman sweater. (I can't copy the pic from their website). The sweater is soooo comfy, I might have to go back and get another one in a different color!

And from Gap - khaki curvy low rise pants. I already have them in black and I love them!

I bent the shopping ban just a teensy bit this weekend (because I damn well deserved it!) so here goes:

This isn't exactly the skirt but it's as close as I could find on the urban site. Mine is solid army green colored. Very cool. Best part? Only $15!!

And at Le Garage Sale (a local boutique thing where they all get together for major sales) for $17!!

Nars blush in Orgasm

And some great earrings at Le Garage Sale for $10 that are like big green coins made of wood. They're super cool.

Everyone got such great stuff! I just bought a couple of vintage jewelry pieces on ebay.

And I have a forget-me-not one! It was the first gift my PaPa gave my Granny.

This is so cool!

Well, you know what they say about great minds . . .

I have been stalking sweetheart bracelets for quite a while now, but there's always this one bidder who's a collector that would always outbid me at the last moment (that wasn't you was it? lol) But now that I finally got a faster internet collection I was able to win one.

Do you have any victorian mourning bracelets? That's what I really want, but the bidding always goes up to at least 120 bucks for the nicer looking ones and I kinda don't want to spend that much on something I haven't seen IRL.

Can my owl necklace meet your owl necklaces???

Vanessa · Kate Spade

Went to Bloomies and couldn't resist these boots on sale, but I'm having some remorse so they might go back:
*borrowed pic from ebay*

And a French Connection fitted star-quilted jacket. Can't find a pic, but it's like this vest, except in brown. It's much prettier in jacket form, and in the brown color :)

I also bought Lucky, Shop Etc. and Marie Claire. I love March mags!!

I'll help ya. I have it too, though this pic does the jacket no justice.

I should also note that I went to Target today and bought this Luella shirt. Yes, the fabric is rough, but it's the exact fabric as my HS uniform shirts which softened over time and got so much better with more wear. But it runs TINY. I had to buy this top in an L...the M wouldn't button over my boobs at all and it was straining across my stomach.

I want to get more Luella stuff...it's very cute and one of my fave designers.

Chloegirl · BCBG

Hi everyone. I'm new here, can I play too?

This weekend I got:

One in aqua and one in brown

This in a cream color, but it's slightly too small so I need to take it back.

A long toggle button sweater in white.

The same pants that TheLovelyLady71 is wearing in her first photo here. I love these pants. I'm very curvy on my bottom half and these pants fit both my hips and my waist.

A pair of brown MUDD heels that I'm in love with. I can't find a picture of them online. And a tan Rosetti handbag that I can't find a photo of either.

If I can remember I'll take pictures tonight.

All of the above was from JC Penney.

I also ordered:

The Jackie cardigan from J Crew, in chocolate and white

Vanessa how much were the boots on sale for?

smash · Dooney & Bourke

won a few things on ebay -

i also bought this top in navy and white -

Vanessa · Kate Spade

Lilykind, thanks so much for the picture. I just love the star quilting on the jacket! Do you get much use out of it? I couldn't resist it for half off :)

Jackie, the Coach boots were 50% off. I took a quick look on eBay and they're going for about that much as well, in case you're interested.

smash, I tried on that yellow FP top at field's a few weeks ago and fell in love! I think it's a must-have for me this spring but I was hoping to buy it on sale. You didn't by chance get a deal on it did you?

i tried it on at bloomies and it was love at first sight, but it didn't want to pay full price either. so i ordered both online from sun walters and used the code SPRINGFLING for 30% off. only problem is they don't have the yellow.

but if you like the navy or the white - the code helps save some $$.
