I've crossed over to the dark side... Clothes-obsessed!

pinky_ohana · Sep 19th, 2007, 06:29 AM

Whoa!! I never spent this much before on clothes!
It's either Gap, Banana Republic, or something off of BlueFly once-in-a-while.

It all started with the thread on $201 Manolo Blahniks at NM.

I'm still in shock... I didn't think I would find so many items on sale at Neiman Marcus, especially Marc by Marc Jacob tops/dresses and Theory pants. I'm going to have to pass on an LV clutch now and I don't even feel guilty about it.

It was always about the purses and shoes. Tonight was totally different.

I've never spent over $300 at one time/transaction for clothes, so $1,300 is major for me!!!

I think I'm almost over my purse-obsessed days and now focusing on the quality of clothes I have.

Is this going to hurt more than purses??

LOL. It might... It's way easier for me to justify buying new clothes than purses and shoes.

Just don't buy too many super trendy items that you will ask yourself "What
was I thinking?" a couple of months from now. If you buy classic pieces that
fit you well and you love....you'll be in great shape! Love the feeling of a fab
new outfit :)

AHHH I'm jealous! I'm leaving on vacation on Monday so I'm on a clothes and shoe ban, but how I would love to spend $1300 on pretty new things! And I agree with chloe231: as long as you didn't buy things that were super trendy that you won't wear in a few months, then you're in fine form and are well on your way to starting a fabulous and well-loved wardrobe.

I do sales...
on anything from clothes to shoes, jewelry and handbags.

As long as I see it as "wow" they actually made a profit selling for that price?

Like my $8 Chloe "seeby" tank that was $80. Love anything 90% off!
Or a "Miss Sixtys" boots $79 and it is in season with zapos still selling at $200++... then my god even for $1300, I'm in heaven!

Awww... thanks for the wonderful tips!

I'm glad to know that there are other price-conscious shoppers out there.

Love anything 90% off!
