Sales are so tempting. And more than a little evil. However, I do feel amazing walking around with a purse worth almost $900. Actually, also a little guilty. Which means I will have to log a few more hours volunteering. So, really, everyone wins with this purchase (fabulous sale + too much money spent on leather + middleclass guilt = volunteering at a home for underprivileged kids).
In the spirit of summer sales, I also want to show a few other sale items that I absolutely need:
Net-a-porter.com is having this incredible sale where everything that was once mortal-sinfully expensive is now only venial-sinfully expensive. Like this dress. Once $298, now $119. The color is perfect, I like the tomato-red. It also comes in blue, but almost every dress I own is a LBD (little blue dress). The polka dots are just youthful enough for it to feel cute and summery, but also a little sophisticated. Should I buy it? This is a question only god can answer... (only kidding, I was just suddenly struck by the strangely catholic language of this post, canonize, venial sins, etc. possibly brought on by an unconscious angry conscience?)Now, one more marc thing I feel I need:
I like that the shoulders are big enough to evoke the shoulder-pad resurrection that I read about in Vogue this spring, but not actually padded, which keeps this from verging on silly.
This is the final thing I keep coming back to and lusting after. See by Chloe is always wonderful, but this dress is classic. I know its lacey/summery appeal will outlast this summers LWD craze. Craftmanship carries it far.
See by Chloe lace detail dress from net-a-porter.com. Was: $640. Now: $320
