STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

These are the most recent I can think of...

I'm happy that I returned the black poncho that I bought at the Nordstrom Sale last summer.  I was looking for a  black capelet that tied in the front and it was close, but didn't really work for me.  I later knit a capelet that was exactly what I wanted.

I regret that I didn't buy a pair of adorable shoes I spotted last summer in Montreal.  I thought I would see other cute shoes I liked but I never did.  I called the store when I got back to Seattle, but I couldn't remember the brand and the shop girl couldn't figure out which ones I was talking about.

I am so glad I didn't buy Uggs or Fuggs (even though I almost caved...LOL). They are totally impractical here and they're so not me.

I wish I'd bought my teal/light brown coach vachetta top handle when it was on ebay for $228. Silly me, I thought there would  be lots more of them at that price, and now I can't even find one at regular price

I'm so happy I didn't keep these Ruby Uggs. The quality was shoddy and last night, BF and I were at a Costco in the suburbs and I saw this soccer mom-type wearing them as part of a most awful, hidfeous outfit.

On the other hand...those J. Crew extended calf riding boots (but in black) have been calling my name for the past three or four years and I can't ever seem to have money when they're on sale!!!!

I miss this Editte Keshishyan dress/tunic...I tried it on in a boutique and I KNOW that I would've worn it like mad everywhere I went. I also love to support smaller, local LA designers. I may still get it, no one would touch it since it looked like crap on the hanger (plus the SA told me that very few people look good in that color), but I just have to wait until the boutique has a sale!

happy: didnt buy these converse looking sneakers from nike with tweed fabric at urban outfitters.

disappointed: very disappointed that i bid too late on a burberry peony bag on ebay which the seller had the original receipt for...it ended at $365 and i was willing to pay $500. (original price...$575 plus tax)

Sad--

A beautiful embroidered bag in Mexico. I REALLY wish I had bought it :(

Another sad--

I didn't buy this stunning emerald ring while in Nice, because the owner of the shop was scary, and I regret it so much. It looked similar to this one, which I am contemplating buying-

I don't really have any things that I am happy I missed out on. I usually know what I like, and am rarely disappointed about buying something.

very rarely do i miss out on things, but it happens.

1. this kors by michael kors coat. it was the perfect winter coat, olive tweedy pattern, military collar. i saw it at last call in july and considered buying it, but i hadn't budgeted it yet, and i thought i could wait a week since it was july. when i went back the next week it was gone. i try to console myself by saying now it would be too large so i saved $200, but now they don't even make kors clothing so it's hopeless.

2. not officially missed out (my fingers are still crossed that i'll find it on my next trip to last call or loehmann's), but i love this dress, and haved loved it since i saw it last summer in lucky

 it was at century 21 for $99. and they had 10 of them in my size (i counted!) anyway i was going to atlanta for christmas the next day so i didn't want to buy it until after i came back. of course when i went back they were all gone. of course all the other dvf dresses they had were still there. and i could still buy it, but it's $350 on bluefly, a price i can't quite swallow for something that i don't really need and won't get that much wear out of at the moment. hopefully i'll be able to find it again for under $200.
