My Shopping List


Updated as of 10-14-09

These are some of the items I’m working on. As I have mentioned through out this blog I have very little money that I can use toward clothing, shoes and accessories each month. I do get distracted very easily and so its hard to stick to a list when I see something new and shiny that appeals to me. So the list below is very subjective. Obviously these are wants and not needs.

  • 1 more pair of black booties
  • Wool Babydoll Coat
  • Yellow Pumps (I have been looking for over a year)
  • Green Pumps
  • Grey Pumps
  • Blue Pumps
  • Mustard, Teal, Fuschia & Green Dolman
    Sleeve Top
  • Fur Stole
  • Grey Jersey Dolman Sleeve Dress
  • A few A-Line Skirts(tired of the pencil skirts)
  • Ruffled Handbag
  • Short Capes (got 1 so far)

    I don’t have a website, but I saw a couple of things on your wish list this weekend. Maybe the woman who has the Economy of Style may be able to help you with them? She and I both live in St. Louis, and I saw the small clutch with bamboo handles that was in excellent condition and of good quality at a resale shop here off Gravois Rd. called Sweet Charity for $5. I saw a fur stole in fabulous condition, and sooo soft that was donated to The Scholarshop in Webster Groves off Big Bend Blvd. I hope this helps. You have a great website!

    Thanks Erin. I would love to shop resale / thrift. I could save sooo much money. I use to shop thrift stores but one day I purchase a scarf from a local cosignment store and it broke my skin out and I felt like I needed to get rid of it, so now I just stay away from pre-owned items. I just think its bad karma for me…I only buy new items, because I believe I’m developing skin allergies. But thanks so much for your help!! Those items sound so great :-( What a deal if I could get them!!

    I don’t know if you are looking for a “traditional” mink type stole, but I have some cute faux fur ones in my web store. They look even better in person!

    Some of the items that you are looking for like the grey pumps, black trench coast, and silver and gold cluch can be found at stores like Burlington Coat Factory,Marshalls, and TJMax, for next to nothing.

    I noticed that most of your shoes have a high heel. You’re lucky you can wear them. Do you wear them to work or do you wear flats and change once you get there? My feet are godawful. I can’t wear heels anymore. :-(

    Amethyst, I love stilettos, but I do like my low wedge heels shoes and my canvas flats. I just don’t post them as much as I do the heels.

    I believe a woman should always take care of her feet. So I wear my sensible flat to work, change when I get in the office and change back into my flats when I leave, so I don’t wear out my really good shoes. I like to protect my heels.

    You can find some cute low-heel shoes on solestruck.com and at Target. Payless has some great canvas flats and low-heel shoes from American Eagle.

    Target actually has some really cute canvas shoes (I bought them today) from Converse and they are the bomb!! You can find them HERE.

    I found faux snakeskin clutches at Ross from under $14. They came in black, white and butter yellow – I bought the white and kicking myself for not getting the butter yellow.

    I think I have that one from Ross

    I came across a few fur stoles in the Antique Stores. I actually got a full length suede skirt for only $22. I was looking for a cedar chest and came out with a dress and a skirt. Go figure. LOL

    Forever 21 has oversize faux snakeskin envelope clutches right now that are really cute and around $18

    Thanks, I think I saw those, but I actually found a few in Ross for Less for $14 dollars :-)

    Check out Iman’s faux fur stole on hsn.com. I own 2 of her handbags (purchased from eBay for 1/2 the price of 1 bag), and get lots of compliments on them. I first ordered the item from HSN so I could check out the quality & see if the prices were worth it (not), then sent it back (you have 30 days), and starting trolling eBay. I recently saw the faux fur on eBay, and more will probably post after the holidays. Now, if we could just be as tall as Iman.

    Hello soo i have been shopping a lot lately and here is the list, Grey Pumps several cute ones at T.J.Maxx, Steel Grey Trench Marshall’s i saw some their and Burlington Coat Factory, Snakeskin Clutch at Rainbow and Walmart (believe it or not, Walmart has some very cute clutches and handbags)

    Now i purchased these nude shoes and i want to wear them with a black skirt, but any suggestions on the top?? Please look at my page and tell me what you think

    @ zulema2 – thanks alot for that. I have not looked at this list in a while, I’ve all but abandon it except the bras, the yellow and green shoes and fur stole.

    I saw the shoes, I like them but without knowing your body type I really couldn’t suggest a style of top (square neck, boat neck, vneck, ruffles, button up, etc.). I know that a lot of ethnic prints are out right now – I think a great print always add an nice extra element to a solid.

    @ ashlee – thanks so much, I appreciate the compliment. My stuff is okay, wish I could afford better brands; I just try to make what I can afford look decent.
