[HeatherFL]

I won a couple things on ebay yesterday and today...

Shoes for work (not too exciting)

This sundress, I hope it fits!

http://i12.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/98/fa/3f_1.JPG

[wendalah]

I won it, I won it, I won it! With 20 seconds to spare and 28 bids. I love this dress and I am so excited! :D

http://i12.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/9d/ae/f1_1_b.JPG

[wendalah]

BTW. I am looking to sell some of my collection. I have some tops and skirts...anyone interested? I can sell in the proper section here on CC before eBay if anyone size S/2-4 is interested. Catherine Malandrino, Marc Jacobs, Development, Trina Turk, a few no-name vintage things...oh and some vintage shoes and purses (size 7 foot).

Inspired by the BR sale, I placed a recent online order:

http://www.bananarepublic.com/Asset_Archive/BRWeb/Assets/Product/389/389769/main/br389769-02p01v01.jpg

These are my favorite tanks, I think I might own them in every color now!

Wendelah - I would love to check out some of the clothes you have before you list them on Ebay, although not that dress. :p That's not so much my style. I am a 4/ 7.5 so I am sure something might fit.

[adamseve]

Catherine Malandrino, Marc Jacobs, Development, Trina Turk, a few no-name vintage things...oh and some vintage shoes and purses (size 7 foot).


That'd be great! I'm a S/2-4 myself but a shorty (5'2") - how tall are you?

[wendalah]

I'm 5'6" so neither tall nor short :)

I'll get busy with the digital camera, stay tuned.

I would love to 'look' into your closet of stuff for sale. Especially some of your dresses/tops/shoes :D

[wendalah]

I promised my husband I'd take a hiatus. So this is my last purchase for a while. I've been looking out for these in my size and they finally showed up:

Michael Kors fringe sandals:

http://i22.ebayimg.com/05/i/06/ce/39/c4_1.JPG

[wendalah]

BTW aforementioned husband is batterying up camera and I'll let you all know when I've listed in the classifieds here on CC. Expect this week :D

On that note: Given the amt of time I spend on eBay/other sites trying to find the exact right whatever...if anyone is looking for anything in particular for whatever style occasion, let me know and I might be able to source it out for you (for fun. Yeah, this is fun for me!).

[prudies]

[meatpie]

Wendalah - Love to see your stuff. Shoes would be great and possibly some clothes although I'm a 4, but I still have my huge pregnant/nursing boobs...

[rachrich]

SQ2- that denim skirt from kohl's is too cute. so tempting.....

[KK812]

Cute shorts from ON! I don't usually shop there, but I might have to check it out! Were they a good price?

[SQ2]

rachrich ~ I love my new skirt. :) It is a bit, oh, flouncier (is that the right word?) than most jean skirts. A bit more material at the bottom but I love the dark wash and the way the top hugs me. I think the lines on it are flattering.

KK812 ~ I lied, I don't think those shorts were actually on sale (the Kohl's stuff was), but I have such a hard time finding shorts that remotely fit me well these days that I went for them anyways. I believe they were $17.50 each. (The last pair - the long Bermuda shorts were $26.50. I don't usually shop at Old Navy either. I find their more dressy clothes to be not very well made and have fallen apart on me in the past. But I love Old Navy for accessories and kick around/casual clothes.

[vee05]

awesome stuff!

need to go shopping!

[wine_o_girlie]

[emmasart]

I just got these hot little shoes in the darker brown from nine west (http://www.ninewest.com/s?namespace=catalog&origin=search_results.jsp&event=p.shoe&pid=12695&search=yes). They were on sale for only $19! As a bonus, they are actually comfy to wear!

[HeatherFL]

Drooling over those Michael Kors shoes!

[vee05]

Those BCBG shoes r super cute ive been eyeing them :)

[wendalah]

Fell off the wagon and back on eBay....gulp!

Love, love this dress!--perfect for my trip to Oahu in September!

http://www.fashionfollower.com/Ebay/july13/bluefish3.jpg

This comes without the belt and has high side slits; I'm planning on throwing it over my bikini and slipping on a pair of cork heels for drinks at the pool.

http://i7.ebayimg.com/02/i/07/40/2f/8e_1_sbl.JPG

I think this can go into fall with a pair of tights and high boots:

http://i19.ebayimg.com/03/i/07/9d/fb/9f_1_sbl.JPG

[prudies]

Those are all cute, but I am especially drooling over the last one since it looks like one I FORGOT to bid on and then bidding ended without a sale! Grr.

[wendalah]

Prudies: If the auction ends with no bids, email the seller and ask if you can buy it off them for a set price. They often agree, so as not to have to relist the item!

Feeling a need to prove I'm not fake and I really do wear these clothes...this is me in one of my recent purchases. (No, this is not my house--it's a condo in Palm Springs I was staying at for the weekend.)

http://static.flickr.com/71/193710356_bac667b624.jpg?v=0

That is my doggie Smokey and that is a Trina Turk handbag I got for 50% off on the ottoman. :D

I'm wearing this dress:

http://i16.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/85/f1/cb_12.JPG

[Cr8nme]

Wendalah~ You look amazing! After I get the rest of my baby weight off may I solocit your help for some new clothes? That is if your available of course :D

[wendalah]

Sure, but only if you post some more photos of your cutie daughter! :)

[Rose]

Wendy I think you should have a whole thread of you with your purchases. You have such a great style and you look so pretty! Know what I wear when I am hanging around a condo? My lounge sweats. :)

[wendalah]

Oh, I was dressed up because we were about to go to dinner. This is what I was wearing most of the time at the condo :o :

http://static.flickr.com/75/193710355_c943a06056.jpg?v=0


My husband thinks it's funny to take these stupid shots of me doing nothing.
ETA: And yes, the dogs are having Mighty Dog for dinner! THEY LOVE THAT CRAP and we let them have it on "vacation" for a treat. Why do dogs love the cheap gross food? Look at my black poodle giving me a drooly "hurry up" look.

[wendalah]

OK, this thread is getting too Wendy. Let's get back to clothes, sorry!

[Asha]

Wendy I think you should have a whole thread of you with your purchases. You have such a great style and you look so pretty! Know what I wear when I am hanging around a condo? My lounge sweats.

agreed. start a journal with all your fashion advice and purchases!!

[savannahgrl]

agreed. start a journal with all your fashion advice and purchases!!
Yes, I would definitely subscribe!

[KK812]

Yes, I would definitely subscribe!

Ditto! You're awesome, Wendalah!

[wendalah]

:o I'm embarrassed.

OK, but I did do my eBaying for August all in one fell swoop this weekend. The total comes to $257 and it will be ALL I am purchasing for the rest of summer/early fall. (Hold me to this, please.)

I came across a seller that had a bunch of cute things--love when this happens. All are vintage.

Print blouse w/ mandarin collar:

http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/07/8e/0f/b5_1.JPG

Kimono dress--considering cutting this shorter.

http://i6.ebayimg.com/05/i/06/c1/89/22_1.JPG

Green peasant blouse:

Cropped gold brocade jacket:

http://i4.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/53/9f/87_1.JPG

[wendalah]

and a few more:


Cute little dress for Hawaii trip:

http://i6.ebayimg.com/03/i/07/8f/56/47_1.JPG

I think this can go into early fall with a pair of cool pants and pumps:

http://i13.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/8a/cf/1c_1.JPG

And again, for Hawaii--a Pucci bikini. I have been wanting forever, and got for very cheap!

http://i18.ebayimg.com/02/i/07/6c/bd/7b_1_bl.JPG

Phew, well, not too bad a haul for a couple hundred bucks.

[Cr8nme]

Great finds Wendalah!

Ladies I am in search of the perfect jean... It always seems as though I get the gap in the back or I keep having to pull up my jeans soo does anyone have any suggestions?

[ag-girl]

wendalah - I LOVE the cropped jacket/top (Anne Morley) you posted a few pages back. I've looked on ebay, but can't find anything similar. Any keyword suggestions??

:)

[HeatherFL]

wendalah I'm always in awe of your finds!

_________________
SO got this for me as a 'get well' gift when I was recuperating from surgery a couple weeks ago:

Gucci medium Pelham bag in cactus green python:
http://s7ondemand5.scene7.com/is/image/Gucci/137621_ECU2G_3363?$product$&crop=56,0,1031,2000&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=1.0,0.8,5,0

[HeatherFL]

Okay, I want that fish dress for Hawaii in January!

~H.

[kimthebride]

Ladies I am in search of the perfect jean... It always seems as though I get the gap in the back or I keep having to pull up my jeans soo does anyone have any suggestions?
I just found jeans I am in LOVE with! I went out in search with zero limit on price, and came home happily with:

DKNY Soho Jeans $59
http://slimages.macys.com/is/image/MCY/products/0/optimized/182630_fpx.tif?bgc=255,255,255&wid=273&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg

Now, the model is likely about 12 and doesn't even know what hips or booty are, but I can tell you this:

I am tall and curvy. I test jeans by squatting in them to check for Crack Attack - I have to get down like that to pick up my son, and don't like people seeing my bum. I don't want too-high-mumsy waistlines or too-low-in-need-of-a-bikini-wax waistlines.

These jeans have a little stretch, keep their shape (you can wear them a few times before washing again and they don't look worn), fit comfortably in the waist, hip & thigh but go almost into a boot cut that makes your thigh look slimmer and leg longer. They also come in petite, regular and tall lengths and a couple rinse colors.

Love love love these jeans!! Literally, I had a pair of Bugle Boys jeans in maybe 8th grade that I loved, but since then (ahem, a decade or two) I have never found another pair that just fit so right. Give them a try! I know Macy's carries them.

[Cr8nme]

Kim thanks! I am going to check those out!

Ladies I think I am going to start a help me find thread...

[wendalah]

It's official: I am a spoiled, out-of-control adult. (Luckily, I work hard, make a decent salary, and can afford to buy things for myself, as I believe most of the women on this board do.)

I bought two more tops. They were 12 bucks each:

http://i14.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/7f/43/b6_1.JPG

http://i3.ebayimg.com/02/i/07/7d/68/fb_1.JPG

[prudies]

Don't lie, your baby goes without food so you can satisfy your high-priced lifestyle!

Look at how sad he is:

http://static.flickr.com/71/193710356_bac667b624.jpg?v=0

Mommy, please stop spending money on ebay!

[wendalah]

You got me. Look at him eyeing the purse on the ottoman. He's thinking, "I haven't been groomed in weeks. And I got Mighty Dog for dinner instead of Dick Van Patten Natural Choice."

ETA: I'm sold on breastfeeding now. It's free! ;)

[greenbunny]

Tell your seller to put some pants on those horrifying crotch bulge mannequins! :eek:

[wendalah]

...Oh, the things I must endure in the name of finding unique fashion. ;)

[KK812]

LMBO @ you guys. Beautiful finds, Wendy!

[wendalah]

Seriously, all snarkie aside. As has been mentioned on this thread before, fashion is a hobby of mine, nothing more, nothing less. I probably spend as much money on it as someone who spends money on another involved hobby(golf or sailing or car restoration or whatever). I have fun with it and I enjoy sharing it on here. I hope others may get inspired by my finds. If people think I'm materialistic, I don't care; I know that I'm the one salivating when I pass by a Salvation Army ;).

[greenbunny]

...Oh, the things I must endure in the name of finding unique fashion. ;)

Seriously, I think that thing is going to come alive and go on a date with Andrew McCarthy.

Some things you've bought I could never picture myself in, but for me it's more about the sense of confidence and "vision" of how you shop that I envy, rather than wanting to copy specific pieces.

[wendalah]

wendalah - I LOVE the cropped jacket/top (Anne Morley) you posted a few pages back. I've looked on ebay, but can't find anything similar. Any keyword suggestions??

Sorry, didn't reply to this earlier! That particular top was sort of a fluke. I haven't seen one like it before or since, and I don't remember what I was searching for. Maybe "butterfly sleeves"?

[Sand]

greenbunny:
Tell your seller to put some pants on those horrifying crotch bulge mannequins!

Actually, I'm a big fan of their incognito hat and wig. It really drew my eye away from the hermaphrodite crotch.

:confused:

[wendalah]

I could start a whole thread depicting odd mannequins on eBay. I suspect the sellers get a little bored here and there and this is their way of jazzing work up. :p

On the "new clothing" tip--there's a great sale at shopbop.com going on right now. For you Juicy fans, they have a bunch of the terry 30% off. And check out the 70% section, there's some awesome things (that I don't know about you, but I could personally never stomach paying full price for!).

[prudies]

that I don't know about you, but I could personally never stomach paying full price for!

Geesh, some spoiled, overindulged grownup you are!

Okay, okay, back to the fashion! Sorry for the thread silliness.

[wendalah]

I HAVE spent over $200 on a purse though.
Do I get an extra "spoiled" point since I really wanted the purse after I saw my friend's?

[Sand]

wendalah, you're totally out of control. ;)

[gokatgo]

Ha - that's why it's no fun!

[lilo]

wendalah: I love everything you purchase from Ebay! You're truly inspiring in terms of finding amazing vintage things on there. You should seriously think about becoming a stylist or opening up your own vintage shop!

*Okay, I'm done gushing* sorry. :o

Since I'm about 6 months pregnant, I don't have many fun shopping experiences these days but I did buy a few things recently that I absolutely love and that can be worn after pregnancy from a UK online store called Plumo, http://www.plumo.com:

Short sheer robe from Frederick's of Hollywood, similar to this one:

I also got a couple of Kimono tops from VS. They can be worn two ways. I am going to have the sleeves cut down. And lastly, a dress I saw in Marie Claire Magazine that can be worn several different ways (even as a shirt.) I'm taking that to Europe-anything to save packing room!

[Cr8nme]

lilo~ I love that dress! Do they ship to the US?

[gokatgo]

lilo - you've sent me into UK shopping withdrawal!

[meatpie]

Ha - that's why it's no fun!

Ann Taylor Loft is doing the "spend $50 get a $25 giftcard" promo as of today. Just making sure you knew that so you can make some future purchases as well. I'll be hitting ATL this weekend to take advantage! (And I love that ocean blue-green color!)

[prudies]

A few ebay purchases:

http://thmb.inkfrog.com/thumbn/GoodGrace/1bluetunicdress.JPG=600
I promise not to wear it over jeans. ;)

Katayone Adeli top:

This belt, which I hope won't look like some bad 90's flashback.

[MMH]

Uh-oh. Did not need to find this thread. I should stay over in the mommy boards where I belong!

Most recent "splurge", or what I consider a splurge since I am a sahm these days. Hopefully the ladies at the grocery store will appreciate my new Paige's.

http://images1.snapfish.com/347824399%7Ffp355%3Enu%3D3238%3E9%3B2%3E375%3EWSNR CG%3D3233%3A394%3A83%3A5nu0mrj

Any other mom's have trouble trying to not look like a teenager these days, but not look like an old lady?

[gokatgo]

Thanks for the heads up, meatpie!

[lilo]

Cr8nme: Yes, they do! You should definitely check out their website. You can order one of their free catalogs too.

gokatgo: Well, a lot of the online UK stores I've bought things from do ship to the U.S. Am I a bad influence or what? ;) I think I need to arrange for a UK shopping trip though. There are so many amazing houseware stores and boutiques.

prudies: great ebay finds! I love the red color on the Katayone Adeli top. Gorgeous

MMH: I'm not a mom yet but I do 'look' younger than I am because I wear more trendy pieces (like the jeans that you posted) and I guess just have a young face. One thing I think that helps is wearing more structured top with trendier jeans like a funky/cool jacket (I love Nanette Lepore and Marc Jacobs jackets) or a kimono top that looks expensive and maybe nicer flat shoes (for when you're running errands with the baby)instead of flip flops or tennis shoes. It'll definitely be interesting to see how people react to me after I have a baby and still look like I'm in my early 20s.

[MMH]

Thanks lilo!
Yes, it's interesting to see what outfits I throw together these day. I live in Idaho so it's not the trendiest place around, but if I feel gross if I don't at least try to pull myself together! I love to buy nice clothes but have found that baby barf is really hard to get out. I've been sporting a lot of Old Navy duds these days, I don't feel so bad when they get peed/pooped/barfed on!

[vee05]

God alone knows how i dont need anymore clothes but i want to expand my dress and skirt choices so these i got all three for $72.00 with free shipping at the Ann Taylor loft online...i just opened the CC and got 10% off and then it got better witha 15% off coupon when u spend over 75 and i got the $25 savingscard too :)

Oh and they had my size.....

and i cant find the pic of the third dress since i guess i got the last piece :)

[tgr68]

Had to go on an emergency shopping trip this morning because I popped a button off of one of my biggest pairs of pants.

Anyway, as usuall, I can't find the exact items online. :rolleyes: The photos are near identical higher priced pieces. The price I posted is what I paid!!

Denim Trousers - $22 - 2 pair
http://a1216.g.akamai.net/f/1216/955/6h/images2.nordstrom.com/ImageGallery/store/Product/MediumLarge/1/_5236121.jpg

Black Layering Tank - $5
http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/88/28/72/03/0088287203851_Black-Soot_SW_500X500.jpg

Black Top - $10
http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/AnnTaylorLoft/200289_6600?$medium$

I also got a pair of casual flare jeans ($15) and a pair of black slides ($8).

[Cr8nme]

tgr~ great buys!! I love those pants

[tgr68]

Cr8nme~Thanks!! Believe it or not I got them all at Walmart!! :eek:

[vee05]

Walmart? need to stop by!

[wendalah]

What the seller described as a "Ruffle-puff" top. I love the collar. I think it will look good with tailored pants and pumps:

http://i6.ebayimg.com/03/i/07/f4/fd/29_1_sbl.JPG

Brand-new blue suede Kors platforms. Don't really need these, but they were only $19!

[smilewithme]

Any other mom's have trouble trying to not look like a teenager these days, but not look like an old lady?

Hellloooo! That would be me! Can't really go to the "Juniors" section anymore, but don't dare walk by the old lady section! My latest purchase is a pair of cropped jeans at Penney's:

http://zoom.jcpenney.com//is/image/0900631b80f99e34M.TIF?wid=250&hei=250&op_sharpen=1

[rachrich]

smilewithme -Those jeans are too cute, and look great with the boots. Penney's is one of my favoite places to shop. They have the $2.77 racks at the end of the season which are awesome! I got camel worthington dress pants for that price one time at the end of the season several years ago.
Their A.N.A (a new approach) and Nicole Miller(i thnk that's that right last name) lines are perfect for those like us too old for juniors and not wanting "old lady" clothes. And of course the Worthington line is great for career wear.

[prudies]

wendalah - love, love, love that top. Perfect for fall. And those shoes will look great with tights, if it gets cold enough in So Cal for that look.

[emmasart]

Wendalah - I adore those blue shoes! Totally a steal for 19!

[karina]

Brand-new blue suede Kors platforms. Don't really need these, but they were only $19!

[bex]

heather1029 I just got those same shoes (in black) from Aldo. I love them, but how do you find the fit? They are *killing* my toes. The next size up was too big and the salesgirl told me they would stretch out but so far they haven't. Owie!! I've only worn them a few times and wondering i should try and offload them on eBay :(

[heather1029]

I tried them on in the store, but they were too small (they only go up to a size 10 and I wear 10.5-11). I just ordered them online....Eek, I hope they fit! I love them!

[bex]

heather1029 - Gotcha :) Let me know how you make out!

[akacharlotte]

I've been eyeing these shoes all season but BR is sold out of size 7 so I just found a pair on Ebay! I'm very excited!

Mesh Sailor Collar Tank - it says 'image coming soon'

Not with this belt: Zebra Print Rouched Front Dress -I'll be able to wear this in Hawaii. We'll be running into some of Todd's clients (coincidence, and it'll be conservative enough and fun too)

I have the black chiffon scarf top from VS and I always get so many compliments when I wear it! I would say that the annoying and wonderful part of the shirt is that it's cotton (it breathes, dear heavens a going-out shirt thta breathes!) but it also rolls, down from the top, and up from the bottom of the shirt.

[HeatherFL]

Thank you for the heads up! :)

Lapis Jacket (bad photo, really cool jacket)
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h101/elaceyfield/DSC02486.jpg

:)

[Asha]

skraus - cute jacket, but i would still freeze my bum off in that jacket in the winter. i get cold easily so i wear a long, down winter coat all winter, but your pink coat is much more stylish.

[prudies]

wendy - I'm drooling over the Dior purse! :eek:

Rosebud - I like the jacket!

A few ebay purchases...

I'm hoping this dress will work into fall with a turtleneck or black shirt underneath. I'll have to pin those summery side tie things, but that should be doable. Hopefully.
http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/3/3/5/6/1/webimg/17617263_tp.jpg

I'm envisioning wearing this out on the town over jeans, but maybe I'm high. Will it work? If not, eh, it's a cute robe. And what mother of a 2 year old doesn't prance around the house in a shorty robe? :rolleyes:
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e178/vintage1904/Womens%20lingere%20and%20nightwear/kimono.jpg

And this lot of 2 chinese jackets:

The second one is obviously stained, but it was a good price for both.

Ack, sorry for the multiple photos! I'll try and fix.

I went shopping today and did pretty well, here is what I could find pictures of:

http://a1216.g.akamai.net/f/1216/955/h/images.nordstrom.com/ImageGallery/store/Product/Medium/8/_5230708.jpg

James Perse dress, mine is black. I also bought a gray v-neck tee from him. I LOVE James Perse stuff, I need to figure out where I can buy his sheets.

I also bought a dark brown tulip skirt, a white short-sleeve button down top that has the ruffles on the front and a cream wrap shirt - all from BCBG.

vee, Land's End has nice twin sets. I prefer the fine gauge cotton, but they also have cashmere and wool. They have the basic styles and colors at Sears, but the website and catalog have a larger selection.

Another belt from a different store in Winter Park:

[HeatherFL]

From a shop in Sonoma, one of the tanks I got. I am debating whether to keep it or not.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/HeatherJWFL76/IMGP4932.jpg

Got this in Atlanta at a cool shop called K*LA. It has a sexy white slip underneath and looks much cooler in person. It's actually a chocolate brown color, even though it appears black here. A lot of this stuff will be perfect for the weather in some parts of Europe we'll be in starting next week.

Another belt
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/HeatherJWFL76/IMGP4935.jpg

I got a beret LOL for Europe, but I don't know if I'm going to wear it. I also got this BCBG blouse (wearing it) with these kind of puffy things at the end of the sleeves. I can't find a pic, though.

White Mountain from DSW. They look exactly the same as a pair of Steve Maddens, but they cost less and fit way better.

Only in navy from Victoria's secret.

My latest purchase...Not exactly clothes or fashion...but at least I'll be semi-fashionable when traveling with this bad boy! DH loves his Tumi luggage so I decided to get a piece too.

Tumi T3 Transporter 24" Expandable Suitcase


http://a1472.g.akamaitech.net/f/1472/124/4h/img.ebags.com/is/image/tmi/62743_2_1?&op_usm=.8,1,0,1&qlt=90,1&hei=300&wid=300

I never remember to post what I buy. I bought these shoes last night:

Wild Diva

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000GLDSLQ.01-A2DV9LL9M050XY._AA280_SCLZZZZZZZ_V64667770_.jpg


THOSE are some serious shoes. Awesome! What are you going to wear them with?

[HeatherFL]

Rose, love the shoes you got!
____________
We just added some more luggage to our Tumi collection for our trip next week. We have so much luggage now we should be set for life!

Generation 4 FXT Ballistic Extra Large Wheeled Duffel-this thing has soooo much room!
http://a1472.g.akamaitech.net/f/1472/124/4h/img.ebags.com/is/image/tmi/50135_1_1?&op_usm=.5,1,0,1&hei=460&wid=460

They don't have the 22" on the website. This is the 20", but it looks exactly the same.

~H.

[WestieMomma]

I like that tumi duffel that you posted Heather! DH swears by his Tumi pieces and he travels for work a lot so he needed soemthing that would hold up well. I can't wait to use my bag.

[Rose]

Thanks Heather & MsRo! The best thing is that they were $18.99 on amazon since the other ones were $115.


I ordered this shirt online the other day from JLO (don't know why I am on a Jlo kick) so I was thinking of wearing them together, with some new Honey Joe's Jeans. I'll have to wait and see if it looks OK when they get here, but in in my head they look good. :)

A few more cheap eBay finds:

'70s Hanae Mori shirtdress ($18.88)

http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/70/70165/se27-1.jpg

Cotton embroidered top...kind of Trina Turk/Tory Burch-ish ($7)

http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/yourtrophygirl/IMG_1070.jpg

Hard to see, but vintage Neiman Marcus quilted jacket ($14.99)

http://i1.ebayimg.com/01/i/08/75/c7/24_1_b.JPG

I have one like this in darker colors, but love this pastel one ($8.50)

http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/szeroes/sicnic_106.jpg

Interesting kimono top ($12.99)

http://www.littleblackdogdesign.com/ebay/08.17.06/kimono.jpg

Needs ironing, but I thought would be cute with a pair of beige Tara Subkoff wedges for Palm Springs weekends. ($12.99)

http://www.littleblackdogdesign.com/ebay/08.01.06/pink-lolita.jpg

[wendalah]

These are the Tara Subkoff shoes I'm lusting after.

[wendalah]

Also, I'm thinking about these, in both brown and black (they are from VS and there's a sale, 2 for $88). I have a feeling platforms are going to have a pretty short shelf life so I might as well not blow a bundle on them.

http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodlgvw/V257018.jpg

[wendalah]

And then I can save money to afford these (Kors):

http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/Shopbop/media/images/products/korss/korss1019110855/korss1019110855_347x683f.jpg

[Cr8nme]

I love all your buys Wendelah! Love the shoes! I too am wondering how much to invest in the platform.. what do you think about the wedge heel here to stay for a bit?

[prudies]

Nice duds, wendalah! I LOVE those wedges.

[wendalah]

BTW if anyone has a vintage Metallica t-shirt (in a smaller size, pre-Newsted, and preferably with 3/4 baseball sleeves) please let me know. I am willing to bargain hard.

[Rose]

Wendy I love that pink dress. It would look so cute with TS wedges.

[wendalah]

A couple more ebay finds--I have to stop.

Vintage Young Edwardian dress--I think will be cute with tights and tall boots ($45):

http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/smm43/yound_edwardian_front.jpg

Vintage quilted dress...this one is ankle-length, I'm going to cut it shorter and again experiment with some taller boots ($9.99).

http://i11.ebayimg.com/06/i/08/7f/36/56_1.JPG

Little '70s t-shirt, will be cute with a belted sweater and skinny jeans ($7.99):

http://www.throwbackthreads.com/i//70bow.gif

Vintage sweater cape. Skinny jeans, tall brown boots, gold hoops ($13):

Just a note: In addition to the Kors boots I posted, I really like these Banana Republic ones, too.

I have a dark red one just like it, but it's covered in paint. It's vintage, so I'm guessing the paint has been on there about 20 years. Anyone know how to get it off? Bueller?

I have my eye on this from Ann Taylor:
http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/AnnTaylorLoft/152468_7233?$outfit$
What do y'all think? Is it cute, or too school-girlish?

And I'm loving this coat from J Crew (really nice in person), but I don't really need a new coat:

And I love this suit from BR, but I worry that it's too "period," ya know? Like I'd look like I was in a costume:

[Rose]

MLA - I really like that dress, and also with the shirt underneath. I think it's cut well enough that it doesn't actually look like a uniform.

[emmasart]

MLA- I also like the Ann Taylor dress. It seems very sixties bond girl like. :)

[MLA]

Thanks, emmasmart & rose. The dress is actually from Ann Taylor Loft, I just remembered. I think I might go pick it up this weekend. :)

[Susan]

I just got that green vest at ATL too, TriSigmaNC! Isn't it cute? I got the green pinstriped shirt to go with it. Looks great together!

[greenbunny]

MLA, I think that suit is great, I might even take it one step farther with a little pill box hat. That is, if I wore suits.

[Cr8nme]

I didn't want to start a new thread... I am wondering where if at all do you buy your button down shirts (oxford). I know some people prefer a certain store. i am looking for some to wear with my suits and also to put under sweaters

[TriSigmaNC]

I just got that green vest at ATL too, TriSigmaNC! Isn't it cute? I got the green pinstriped shirt to go with it. Looks great together!

Oh how cute! I was trying to brainstorm all of the options to go under it....long t, white button up, but a pinstripe sounds cute! The one with the ruffles? Or plain?

MLA I actually tried that dress on yesterday and was WAY cute. I say go for it.

cr8nme I get all of mine from ATL, AT or BR. I love ATL's petite options and Banana's are just so classic and hold up very well. They do have them on sale regularly too.

Do you love it? I've seriously been thinking about getting this skirt.

[Susan]

TriSigmaNC - yeah, it's the pinstriped shirt (green stripes) with small ruffles down the front and on the cuffs. The ATL website pairs that shirt and the vest together. I wasn't sure if it was too much going on at first, but I like it!

[MLA]

Nah, I'd be too self-conscious to go completely Jackie O with it, but I really do like the suit. Hmmm . . .

I ALMOST grabbed that shirt. My mom is coming this weekend and we're loading UP on ATL clothes :)

[Susan]

Oh, I'm in love with that Coach bag, andrew&shannah! It's just beautiful!

[HeatherFL]

Love the bag too!

We just got back from a week in Spain. Oh gosh, I did some damage! Most of the new stuff is being shipped back, but I'll post pics and share. :)

Ahh shopping. We need to start a support group LOL!

[hokiegirl]

Love that bag A&S!! Lucky gal.

[andrew&shannah]

Thanks ladies! I was incredibly surprised! Guess I'll keep him around for another year ;)

[TriSigmaNC]

That bag is precious. I just got a wallet for my anniversary! J/K, but my wallet would go great in your bag.

I'm eyeing a blue one at the moment.

[andrew&shannah]

ok, someone please take away my money...this is getting out of hand!

[Renee34]

I just bought these today and now after bringing them home, I can't decide about them. They are REALLY cute on, but I can't decide if there is too much of the print. I'm kind of wierd about these kinds of prints but I think they are so cute! I don't know what to do...what do you gals think?http://www.payless.com/Images/beauty/052030_beauty.gif.

[TriSigmaNC]

Renee
I do NOT mean to be rude. I personally don't like animal print at all. I'd really have to see them on, but do you just think it's too much print?

[Foley42]

Renee: I'm not an animal print fan at all. They are very cute shoes, just don't like the print.

[Foley42]

vee: LOVE your black Ann Taylor dress :)

Let me add that I will not be wearing these with skirts or dresses, there is just too much print for me . I would be wearing them with nice jeans or slacks, it shows just enough of the shoe. Anyone else have an opinion on these shoes?

[lisainpink]

Renee34 I love them! I like the shape of the shoe- and I am a huge fan of wearing a print on a shoe with a solid ensemble! I would do a camel pant, paired with a really great camel turtleneck, and that shoe. I would probably carry a red purse that day. I think they are super cute.
My winter go-to uniform for movies or other casual events- is a great pair of jeans and a great black top- I can totally see wearing those shoes with my uniform to spice it up.
FWIW- I have a pair of Emanuel Ungaro shoes from years ago- in a cream snakeskin- and I wear them all the time for the same effect.

[trestlegirl]

Renee34 I love them!


Me too!!! I am also not a big fan of animal print in general, but I love crazy, colorful shoes as an accent to an otherwise plain outfit. I'd wear them with dark jeans and a brown or camel top.

[TriSigmaNC]

My fear is that wedges are going out of style quickly according to style guides. They'll be in for the winter boots, but most likely start being phased out in the Spring.

I like bright and fun patterned shoes too, but these in particular I'm not a fan of. Don't mean to offend Renne! Love how you are asking opinions...but of course, go with what you love, not what we all do.

[gokatgo]

Renee - even if you don't usually wear animal print (and I can't say that I own any), I think those shoes are a great way to work some animal print into your wardrobe. I think they'd be cute with a denim pencil skirt & red cardigan.

NTM, I don't see the wedge turning into a fashion faux pas any time soon, so I think you're safe there.

eta: I don't know how old you are, so this may not be a concern (and it may not be a concern because whatever floats your boat), but the stacked wood heel to me makes the shoe seem young. I would probably opt for something like these:

Def. not a faux pas, but wearing thin in the fashion arena. Designers for next year are moving on and not creating tons more wedges.

Whatever. If you like them, wear them.
It's not like we're talking about stonewashed jeans.
