so i went a little nuts yesterday and now i need affirmation that i made some good purchases. so here goes:
From Neimans: juicy blazer in pink and white, $79/each
Nordstrom: gold sergio rossi sandals for $130 (orig. $375)
Saks outlet:
dark green miu miu loafer pumps for $75 (orig. 295)
and the piece de resistance: this Alexander McQueen jacket, but in white, for $200 (orig. $1400!!!)
so they were all great buys, but added together, still a lot of $$$. i'm debating on returning the miu miu pumps and one of the juicy jackets. suggestions?
Sounds you got some awesome deals! I like everything that you posted, so I say keep them. BTW, could we get a look at your shoes? I'm dying to see what they look like.

Are they croc-embossed leather...if they are, you should keep them (or if you're an 8, I'll take them). I tried a pair of dark green Miu Miu pumps on last fall at Saks, and fell in love because they were so hot and supercomfy. The only thing stopping me from getting them was the price tag...I've never spent more than $135 on a pair of shoes.
I would return one of the Juicy blazers if you feel guily, but you really got such great deals on such awesome stuff!
Lilykind, the miu miu shoes i got are dark green croc-embossed, pointy, but w/a rubber sole which makes them really easy to walk in. are those the ones you tried on?
i'm keeping the white juicy blazer for sure...and so it's really just the pink one, but i still think it's so cute and i'll def. get a lot of wear out of it this summer.

Well, I was going to say return the Juicy white jacket since the Alexander McQueen one is also white, but since you love it so I'm afraid you're just going to have to keep it all

yup, i got the blazers in store. Neimans marked it down on thursday, and i think the price is only for the store. however, if they don't have your size, you can always ask them to call around and try to find one for you, and they'll usually ship it too you for free.

imo the blazer runs a bit small, typical of juicy sizing. i'm about 5'5", 36A and usually wear a size 6, but had to go with a large for the blazer. i also thought the sizing was a bit inconsistent, since one large i tried on fit better than another large (the sleeves were shorter and it was a bit more fitted.) the sizing would also depend on whether or not you wanted to wear a shirt or just a tank underneath the blazer. if you can, i would strongly suggest trying them on in the store. hth!
