Nothing for me...though maybe I'll skip the stupid Superbowl and go to TJ Maxx.
My husband's birthday is in two weeks, so my sister and I went on a mission to get him some clothes that a) aren't 5 years old; and b) don't have any sort of sports team logo on them. (Just so you guys understand: his current favorite shirt has a Coors Light logo on the front () and a bleach stain on the sleeve ().)
He is very picky, though -- he'll probably say it "looks gay" and make me take it back. But at least I tried. I got him:
( <--sort of similar to this; diff. color and logo, same idea
Oh, and I got him this for Valentine's Day: b/c our wedding song is on it, and a bunch of songs we used to love waaaay back when we first met

I owe SFClinevandy for finding those necklaces first, I must add. I also type in quartz and jade to find stuff. Just be careful b/c I ordered one from a seller that stated it was 16 in. and it was 12 in.! Well my new camera won't work with my apple right now and our high speed internet went out so I am on dial up right now. I will add pics of my purchases this week after they fix it! I bought my CHANEL sunglasses and love them!
I also hit NY & Co. and got some really cute accessories: A yellow/green jade necklaces. Round Turq. earrings Gold filagree earrrings with coral drops. Kelly Green eyelet leather hobo bag.
Tj maxx: Green pashmina $14.99 Seersucker/madras plaid belt $9.99
Loehmann's: Kathin Argiro "marilyn" halter dress in pink w/green tie.
Stein Mart: White circle skirt with green eyelet pattern overlay and pink grosgrain ribbon detail.
this is cami that i got on thurs. but it was cheaper on shopbop w/ the discount. hopefully it will be in stock, and won't be too big. then i'll return the other one &
i have no justification for the last two items, other than i wanted them.
I went to ArdenB today and found out that all of their sale stuff was an additional 75% off!!! I got a pink suede purse, a pink long sleeve shrug ( the kind that just goes across your back and shoulders-does not tie in the front), a cream tunic sweater, a double v-neck purple airy light sweater, and a crotchet tangerine double v-neck sweater (perfect for spring and summer evenings). I got all that for a mere $88!!!!! It was worth breaking my loooooooon shopping ban. I also finally got my Campus Frye boots in this color I must say I am a bit worried that I didn't pick the most versatile color. What color do you girls have?
shpgqueenet, I Arden B. 75% sales. . Also, I have my Campus Fryes in Saddle. I think yours are plenty versatile too, since dark brown is such a basic color.
Adding to my purchases, I also got a pair of AG jeans. I tried them on Saturday and have been obsessed with them ever since so I just ordered them. And I bought a big print of NYC to hang over my couch. So now, shopping ban is in full effect until March 31 (my birthday!). (unless of course, any of the stuff on my spring list happens to go on sale first!)
On Saturday the bf announced that he was taking me to BR to get my anniversary gift so we picked out the suit. I say "we"picked out because I showed him everything that I wanted and let him pick out what he wanted to buy me since it was his money and his present to me.
When we got home he gave me my surprise gift:
In hindsight I think that he picked the suit because it matched the shoes, but that was okay by me because it was the most expensive thing that I wanted, hee-hee!!

Wow, looks like a lot of us had a big shopping weekend! I got this from old navy:
And some underwear from Target. I may get another pair of jeans when I go home this weekend...either Citizens of Humanity or James, or maybe a brand I haven't tried yet...not that I need a new pair of jeans but they're just so hard to resist...
