What Did You Resist Buying?

[softgrey]

too late now...

 

[Fade to Black]

There's a lot of stuff I thought about but never ended up buying

-White Martin Margiela button down shirt with grey checks (didn't like the collar)
-Olive Green Marni button down (looked good at first, went back didn't like it)
- Helmut Lang denim shirt (from this season...i think i might check it out again when it's on sale)

lol they're all button downs...

and there's something that I'll find out if I buy or not within the next 45 minutes...here's to hoping I buy it Will report back in 45.

do returns count? i got an ipod for my birthday and returned it for the money

 

[Fade to Black]

OMG I DO NOT BELIEVE IT. I was winning the auction and with 6 seconds left some guy places a $1 higher bid and I lost...that's it, I am NEVER using eBay again. I am SOOOO mad right now...

 

[Fade to Black]

Wow...I don't know if I'm this mad just because i'm having a bad day but this just made it ten times worse..damn i'm shaking right now.

I still think about this
Marc Jacobs jacket from s/s01

and the skirt (2nd pic) albeit matching in colour
(Dark Jean-blue with white pipping)

..it fitted me perfectly..but I thought it was overpriced..so I decided to wait
-the sales were about a week away, and...(I could kick myself for this)..
didn't go back to Harvey Nic untill a WHOLE week into the sales.

A Theory summercoat that, I had put on hold at Harvey Nic..
and when I returned the next day..they had SOLD to somebody else

A black Costume National winter coat.
I had just bought another coat just the day before..
but I still wise I had bought it..

I still dream about a little light coral coloured Fendi bag
with tinny travel stamps sown unto it,
it was one of a kind..and the pricetag was that of a car
..I'm glad that when I went to require about the cost..it was allready sold..

I get a bit fatalic when it comes to fashion purchase. My mantra goes:

If it is meant for me..
it will be here when I return.

 

[Theory]

A brown Prada leather messenger bag.
It's the third or fourth time I've gone to look at it so I know I want it for sure.
I'll wait a few more weeks for the sale.

I didn't buy a black leather Dolce & Gabbana biker-ish jacket yesterday, but I'm tempted to go back and do so. Same with a navy distressed velvet Dolce & Gabbana blazer-ish jacket. Always so many decisions...

 

[softgrey]

also did not buy black leather ann dem leggings...

 

[Theory]

Today I passed on a velvet pinstripe blazer. It was hot, but $595????

 

[meowmix]

ahhh those boots are lovely, softgrey ><

passed on the black LV derby bootie thingies today
...the tall ruched gucci boots in black
...gold tod's jpt pochette
...that white gucci dress
...a bagel slicer from williams-sonoma
recently also passed up the grey gucci mink bag... but got the black one instead, so i don't know if that counts

 

[breathe0xygen]

a velvet slouchy bag that I found at a random store. The fabric was twisted in the middle, making a very unique sense about it.

I miss it. even though its not mine.

mikeijames, how come? didn't like it?



softgrey, the boots are très chic! (although the material would have been very delicate and sensitive, right?)

I started one, too... here.

I recently didn't buy a distressed denim blazer by G-Star, and on the same trip also didn't buy Tsubi jeans or denim jacket. Saved a bundle!

Well not today, but yesterday I didn't buy...
-an uber-soft brown knit/croched hat ($38)
-a funky-weird multi-colored woven hat ($36 and it made me think of Ale )
-a funky-weird ethnic coat-thing that I thought looked cool ($265)
-a cashmere sweater that felt divine ($675 ...ha, yeah right, like I could ever afford that)
-a beautiful blue felted scarf with ribbons felted in...it was wonderful ($160 or $190)
-an awesome belt thingie that wrapped around twice...studded, but in a cool way (uh...$65, $85, or $165...can't remember--too much)
-a wonderfully soft scarf in nice colors (the price was high, but I don't remember how high)

OK, I the only things I almost bought were the first two hats...the rest of the stuff is hopelessly out of my price range. But I wanted them and didn't buy them, so I thought I'd share anyway.

I still regret the hats...

I didn't buy this Missoni Scarf this weekend... but I think I'm gonna go baqck and get it.

 

[Luna]

Haha.. I didn't buy this coat that looked exactly like a coat I saw at Banana a few months ago...

...

But my mom did.. for christmas.

 

[Sugo]

A bright yellow embossed belt
to go with my orange bag and neon green gloves
ya...I really needed it

 

[runner]

on reflection I did not buy anything from Helmut Lang this season.

a very nice bag from Sartoria
