I am doing a lot of sale shopping, plus I am being more conservative about where I spend my money on non-sale items. Found some cute, cheap (relatively speaking) stuff at Anthro I just got this week:
$78 and run true to size (I sware they just slap whatever price they want on shoes; these could have easily been $178+ IMO)
$58 (and so cute with lots of beading and details)
I am also doing some hunting on Ebay, looking for wood and coral necklaces - maybe something with turquoise too. I hope to find some stuff this weekend; if so I'll post.
I broke my shopping ban - gasp! - but I set aside and emergency $50 this month, just in case, so it's okay. I was just returning a sweater to ON that I changed my mind on and it was so pretty outside and they had all these great colors... I couldn't resist.
Here's what I got:
Two more boybeaters but in a great sunflower yellow and superman blue (they don't have the colors on the website). I already wore it out last night and got so many compliments on the color-combo!
But in the electric blue color. I have this in green, too, and it has become one of my wardrobe staples. So I got another color.
It's really an orangish/red/pinkish color (hard to describe) but I thought it would look very cool and vibrant paired with the electric blue shirt above.
I'm hooked on bright colors right now!
Also got this in a baby blue color because I saw someone wearing something similar on the "thread style" forum, but I think I'm going to take it back because it just looks kinda funny on me. It's supposed to be the short, short cardigan but I'm not sure about it. It worked on gypsyfreak (is that right?) but on me, not so much.

Can I just say how cute those shoes are???!!! Love, love, love the inside polka dots. If not for the shopping ban, which I obviously already broke, I'd scoop up a pair. Maybe they'll be on sale when the ban is lifted.
NineWest "Oksana" in deep purple suede (not the color seen here). Orig. $75. on sale for $12.75, yeehaw! I wish I had a picture of the actual ones because this one doesn't do them justice. They are the most beautiful deep rich plum shade.
I'm only going to be buying the Target ballet flats in tan, if they have my size left, but next weekend I hope to have a good haul. I'm going Minnesota shopping
I'm expecting this from bluefly this weekend: I thought it could work dressed up(with a pencil skirt) or down. I hope that it is as cute as it looks. Now i need to find the perfect denim pencil skirt.
I bought this gap sweater:
And i'm expecting some Sue Devitt products from drugstore.com
Not much so far. I might do some shopping later this weekend. I just bought four of the Target crinkle camis- brown, pink, purple and another darker purple that has a v-neck and lace only at the neckline.
I had the day off today so I went shopping even though I am supposed to be on the shopping ban for another month. All I got was 2 pairs of pants from Zara, one black, one brown. They are really cute and I needed new work pants. And I gave away 3 old pairs of pants. Is that enough excuses????
AG Legends in Naive (stretch jeans in a dark wash with virtually no distressing, very similar to the Roxy from maybe 2-3 years ago?), a sweet deal at Loehmanns. I've never seen AG before there and I'm convinced AG is sent straight from heaven to cure all jeans problems for girls with booty. BF, great authority on jeans, already gave his nod of approval.
And quasi-boring stuff at Sephora
(smells so yummy in the bottle I can't wait to use it!)
(saving my skin froms acne scars everyday)
Um...and I have to pay for dry cleaning and shoe repair....
love the anthro top, Drew. - blubirde - I really need to go to ON for some staple tees (I have never shopped there before, I may need to check it out.) love those shoes, carmen. cute skirt jaymiek. great find with the BCBG dress, doveanunu - I have no qualms with a little sewing for a good deal myself, and that dress is perfect for spring/summer.
I took advantage of the addtional 15% off clearance at bluefly (I was able to use the $10 off code we have in our special offers page on top of that too!) I also did a seperate transaction using the $20 off code in our code page... (I fell in love with the hoodie when I saw it posted by someone else here - was it halleybird?) anyway... I love the tunic length stuff that's out there right now - this should satisfy that current obsession
