Thanks for the Fashions!

November 24, 2010

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and before we all start stuffing ourselves with turkey, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes, and then fall into a post-dinner food coma, I wanted to take a moment to give a thankful shout out to the bargains -- and not so much bargains -- that I came upon this year.

Converse Shoes
Who knew it would take me 32 years before I realized the cool factor of owning a pair. I can't wait to expand my collection!



Coach Bag
It took me many years to justify spending more than $50 for a purse. I was always adamant about not buying a designer purse just because it was a designer purse. But, I was on vacation, in Vegas, and I ventured into the Coach Outlet store. I gave in to temptation, and oh was I glad I did.



IKEA Bed
My old bed was still in good shape -- in fact, it now resides in one of my parent's spare rooms -- but I wanted a new bed and one that played off the shabby chic look of my bedroom.  And, boy was I lucky to have found the bargain of all bargain beds at IKEA. Now, my room is exactly how I had envisioned it, and I love going to sleep and waking up in it every day!



Jewelry
I've never been much of a jewelry person. I put on an outfit and am never quite sure what jewelry goes with what, if less is more, or if should just say, forgetaboutit! But I am happy to say, I took a leap this year and started buying necklaces, earrings and even a cocktail ring.
