I do have been trying to resist getting sucked into the "bargains" that I never wear...thank God for consignment stores and eBay. <br /><br />By the way love the photo of the necklace!<br /><br />-CatherineThe Fashionable Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893141471684161841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-62122149451053374822011-01-19T01:56:34.354+01:002011-01-19T01:56:34.354+01:00Ingenious, Tish.

I also try everything I like the look of at full price. You're right, if it didn't work at full price, it won't work at half-off. Sale times have allowed me to invest in some amazing shoes, in particular. (At home in Australia, sales just don't exist on this sale. The discounts are never as significant and the choices are never as diverse.)Alice Olivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726631444593912661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-83246228237501144792011-01-18T21:18:53.864+01:002011-01-18T21:18:53.864+01:00Oh!

Not to mention, a classic with a white shirt.)<br /><br />Now, as for that "madness," it made me recall another life - the <i>original</i> Filene's basement, and very un-Frenchwoman-like behaviors. <br /><br />Now if only we would leave Sandra Bullock to style her hair any way she pleases. And remember that we <i>all</i> know we need to look good, but obsessing and picking at each other over it is pointless.BigLittleWolfhttp://dailyplateofcrazy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-23910752186007996852011-01-18T19:14:37.989+01:002011-01-18T19:14:37.989+01:00These are great tips to study and remember!
