STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

OK so I was reading the latest issue of Shesheme and she was talking about SAD( Seasonal Affective Disorder), well I have it. After our ice storm in Atlanta, well then I decided it was time to go Spring Shopping, and boy do I feel better! Here are my purchases:

Also a pink bandana that has green in it too..
Ebay scores:





This it for web pics, and I will update with my own pics tomm.

I finally shopped!   Express gave associates an additional discount this weekend so I bought a few items - more like a mini-spring wardrobe - from the spring collection (most of it is on www.expressfashion.com but I don't know how to post photos from there):

Tops:
Turquoise/ivory/yellow/brown print silk chiffon cap-sleeved front-tie top
Silk camis in coral and cream, very soft!
Tunic-length silk cami in turquoise with ivory lace trim
The short-sleeved pearl-button cardigan that's in this month's Marie Claire, in teal
my favorite, a brown cardi-wrap sweater a la bcbg - looks hot with all camis and the shirt too

Bottoms:
Plaid editor pants, cream with turquoise and rust plaid
Light wash cetine jeans, which look surprisingly good on (thankfully we just got word we're going to be able to wear Express jeans to work now so I *needed* a pair)
Brown circle skirt (still haven't tried on so it might go back)

Accessories:
Coral earrings, white stone necklace, coral/pink/brown silk chiffon scarf

I love how everything matches, I think I can get at least a dozen outfits out of all I bought & I didn't even cross the 300 mark!  I'm so proud of myself.   All I need is those Marc flats and I'm set for a while!  I'm liking this pseudo-ban... my purchases are so much better planned than they used to be.  

I was bad...

Ralph Lauren shirt like this, but in a pink and white seersucker:

this skirt:

and a fabulous pair of shoes- anne klein creamy oragne slide with a bubble-bauble thing (actually reminds me of the ring I want from that spacemermaid site) by the toe. I'll see if I and find a pic later.

Eveything was on sale, so all togeter I only spent about $150.

OK, I'm trying to join the shopping-ban crowd...it's just not working very well!!!!  But I'm really pleased with everything I got and I think I'll get a lot of use out of it all.

I got these in black. I can't wait to wear these, they are so comfortable and CUTE!!!

This in a pretty silvery-gray color.  It was 50% at BCBG B&M, YEA!!!

The ON tunic in black, and these which I'm going to return because I just won't wear them enough to justify (they are really cute on, and suprisingly comfortable for ON)

A mauve scarf from UO

A couple DVDs and books, and the new Lucky!

And I'm about to bid on some Joe's Jeans on ebay.

 

This in chocolate brown.  You can't see but it's chunky white stones on it.

A cashmere and sequin wrap around sweater

A pink sweater I found in my mom's closet from the 70's that's now mine.

Shoes like this but with out the tall heal and no bow.

Yellow rose print cardi from BR

Today I bought a wallet at Robinson's May for $20 and silver earrings for $3 from Wet Seal.  I really wanted to buy more (I need shoes and clothes for work) but the mall closest to me sucks so I didn't find anything.  Maybe tomorrow.  Here are some pix of my wallet and earrings.

 

Throughout the week I've been buying stuff. I really need to stop. It looks like I bought a lot, but really I've only spent a little over $200.

Off ebay I won (Chic and I have been corresponding about this one seller, hence the similar necklaces)

and this BR skirt

From Wet Seal

From Old Navy

From JCpenney

And finally, my parents came in town this weekend and bought me a PreCor Elliptical as an early Vday present.

I broke the shopping bad badly, but I bought some stuff I was sure I wanted.  I already posted some of it but I will do it again:

 Old Navy

BR
 
Walmart
These pants are nice-much better looking in person that on the website.  I couldn't believe I was actually looking at pants like this in Walmart.
 
Zappos--When I ordered them, they were $16.90 and now they have gone up to $26.90.  Whew, I got them just in time.

OK I GOT A JADE AND GOLD NECKLACE FROM WET SEAL, BIG BLACK SUNGLASSES, A SEQUIN SALINAS BIKINI, A PAIR OF BRONZE HEELS, A BLACK CHIFFON MINI AND A TURQOISE HORN NECKLACE!! WOW, DIDN'T REALIZE I GOT SO MUCH STUFF!
