That shade of green is the exact same shade of green the bag I recently purchased is! I think it is a wonderful color. I am just a little jealous that you paid less for your bag, though.

Sister, what is it with you always buying things you will never use? Are you planning to open Sister Wolf’s Den of Curiosities? If so, I’d like an invite please.

How about the $100, three-quarter length faux shearling I bought? Saved me thousands from buying real shearling. Makes me look like a pimp.

I used to do this all the time! Before I got married and had to show another human being my credit card debt. Worse, I had a friend (worked for Donna Karan) who would send me boxes of “fabulous samples” and I’d buy it all. I was the last in a long sample food chain, so you can imagine the shit that still hangs in my closet, some still unworn. Total, my savings is easy in the thousands.
Love that green bag.

Aja, me neither. In fact, my brother just got a tattoo of a candle burning at both ends, with the words “I Never Learn.”

I have to say, I don’t really have any saving money stories. If I buy it and it’s pricey, godammit, I’m gonna wear it until it falls apart or I sell it on eBay. Usually the only time I “save” money is when I buy something from UO and it shrinks to be pint size and gets passed on immediately to the godsisters and their wardrobe’s are looking hipper by the days (clearly, I never learn my lesson).

Skye, enc, Miss Wombat – Thanks for the encouragement, even if you’re just kidding

annemarie – Wow, you are gonna be a millionaire soon!

WendyB – I can see why you had to get them, it would be a crime not to.

I have a pair of rarely worn Dolce & Gabbana shoes that I got for $100, down from $1150. I do wear them occasionally though.

paul smith shoes at a sample sale for 50$– retailed for $450
behnaz sarafpour dress for 80$ at barneys warehouse sale– retailed for $1800
carolina herrera silk and cashmere top at a random outlet strip=mall place where i stopped for a pee, 40$–tag said $1250.
i gave the carolina herrera top away because it i could see that it was disgusting once the rush wore off, the dress gets pulled out for occasions, and the shoes are going strong.
total savings: $3330

So far, not yet. I wish . . . It would be nice to make a sensible decision for a change! I love the color of that bag.
