what I want wednesday

What I want this Wednesday is:

DRESSES!

I just bought this plunging v-neck dress for $20 in black, and I am stoked to get it. Seems like it will be very versatile and wearable.

But I also have my eye on this sweaterdress, because I can’t resist sweaterdresses!

So much for being grounded, eh?

temptation tuesday

I’m obsessed with sweaterdresses, and right now I’m itching to pick up this one. It’s a Wool/cashmere/nylon/elastane blend by Ralph Lauren, in wearable grey and just $37.

But I did just buy a Maggy London dress yesterday. And I’m still supposed to be grounded.

Sophisticated any occasion dress

I have to cut back on the impulse buys for awhile, or else I’d snap this up. I’ve become addicted to dresses, and this one I can picture myself wearing in a wide variety of scenarios. Pretty good deal, too, at 40% off. Maggy London is also the designer of my bridesmaid dresses, so I know I like her stuff already.

Large number of sizes left at the moment!

revisiting a past want

It pays to keep an eye on your wish list. I posted back in October about a Nicole Miller silk dress I was in love with. It is now 64% off at Saks.

Now the big question: will the price continue to drop, or will the sizes suddenly disappear?

banana republic needs to be reasonable

I think this dress is adorable. I really and truly do. But why on earth would you pay $100 for a rayon dress? WHY!!?!?!?!

I expect quality at that price. Not. Rayon. Somebody needs to do something to knock BR down a few pegs.

what I want wednesday

Ok. I try to only seriously consider buying reasonably priced clothing items. I really do. But I’ve been obsessing over this dress for awhile and I just can’t get it out of my head. I love the cut, I love the bright colors, the pattern and the back. At least it is 40% off. Another 6pm.com find!

Length on the mannequin is a bit weird, but I’m only 5’4 1/2″ so it should hit me nicely at the ankle.

I guess I am just obsessed with maxi dresses.

thrifty thursday

Typically I think of thrifty as being $15 or less. $20 depending on the clothing item, such as outerwear, shoes, etc. But in this case, I’m willing to make an exception for a cute French Connection dress that is currently 75% off, and just $39.50 (I know).

Have at it, ladies (though I don’t recommend their shoe pairing – why such clunky shoes with a light dress?).

the lbd I’m eyeing

I’ve never been one to shop on HSN, or even watch the show, actually. But this dress by Tracy Reese was in my most recent issue of Lucky Magazine, and I’d been awaiting it’s arrival anxiously.

Unfortunately, right now the black is out of stock in my size. As is the magenta, which was my 2nd choice color. Sigh. It’s just so cute! I do note that some of the reviews call it a cheap, clingy fabric; but what do people expect from jersey?

wtf Friday

Today’s WTF Friday comes from Fendi. I’m all for deeply discounted designer clothing and accessories – in fact, it’s one of my favorite things. But no way on earth would I go for this dress by Fendi, even at 60% off. It’s a nurse’s uniform with a military inspired bib?

It also reminds me of Danny Vosovic’s collection from season 2 of Project Runway. Look familiar? And, as I recall, the judges lambasted him for that very ‘bib’ look. Michael Kors even said he wanted to ‘rip that badge right off!’

Hardly seems “fair.”

what I want wednesday

My first What I Want Wednesday!

beautiful Nicole Miller dressI am in love. Sigh. This dress is just beyond beautiful and I want it so much! I also have a code to get an additional 25% off the Sale price, knocking it down to $250. This is why budgets are the worst. Also, where could I ever wear this thing?

Let me know if you’d like the code for yourself. Then I’ll get jealous that you get one and maybe I’ll buy one, too ;)
