I've also been feeling a certain urge to buy a bag, but i must resist! i've got a couple months of extensive travelling ahead of me, must - not - splurge.

yeah, didn't happen. Couldn't resist to get this Givenchy Pandora Box on sale. I love the design so i wasn't sure at first but it's surprisingly comfortable and holds a lot of stuff.

I am a huge online shopper but i was good almost 2 months (didnt order anything) but this week i stopped being good and bought current/elliot jeans, Isabel Marant pants and Kenzo boots. BAM!

Today I was trying to waste time before I had to meet someone so I went to Bloomingdales. I got a great Sandro sweater and a What Goes Around Comes Around tee. I paid for them and had them hold them for me so I could pick them up tomorrow. I didn't want the person I was going to meet see that I shopped

 

[nita-karoliina]

Finally i did it and orderd for myself that iconic Alexander Mcqueen scarf. I have been thinking about it for ages. Bam.

did you try those on? which sizes did you get?

 

[castorpollux]

a pair of nike tr1 cross trainers

 

[ChrissyM]

I got a small in the shirt and that fits well... maybe even runs a little big? unless it's meant to have a looser fit.

For the skirt, I got an 8, but i'm thinking it's riding a bit low and i could have possibly gone down to a 6.

Size-wise I'm usually a 4 on top 6-ish on the bottom.

great - this is good to know. you and i are similar size wise.

i really liked how that style of skirt looked on stam in the ad.

yeah, the skirt shape is nice and the material isn't too flimsy at all.

I think i'm going to have a lot of fun styling it once the weather warms up a bit and I can wear it with tanks or short sleeves.

I paired it with a black tee with karl lagerfeld drawn on it (from his macy's collection a couple years back) and i thought it was fun but I didn't have anything that looked right over the tee that would keep me warm in our frigid boston weather.

I just placed my first Free People order, they're massively expensive but I'm excited to see what turns up!

I haven't been buying many fashion items lately because I'm on a big skincare/haircare kick, but I did get a few things:



Pre-ordered this Delpozo shawl from Moda Operandi



Tiny Muun straw bag also from Moda Operandi



NewbarK Roma sandals from The Line

I also bought a J. Crew Collection jacket for full price that is now on sale that I don't want to talk about

^Can't you ask for an adjustment? Some retailers will do it for you if you ask

From their site:

price adjustments
J.Crew gladly honors a one-time price adjustment on full-price merchandise within seven days of the in-store purchase or mail-order ship date if accompanied by the original receipt. Items not purchased at full price are ineligible for price adjustments.

 

[rochasfille]

^Thanks for that! I'll email them and see what happens, but I don't have high hopes since it was more than seven days after I got it that it was reduced. Thanks so much for letting me know, though - I didn't know stores did that!

See if you can go to a nearby J. Crew store and return it there and then literally buy it right then and there at the new price. That' what I would do
