But I think if I could choose only one expensive item for myself, it would be a watch. That's something I wear everyday and I love my current watch and don't ever change it with my outfit. The right watch for me would be for life.</p> <p>At the moment I really like this one: </p> <p><a href="http://www.patek.com//html/en/descriptionCards//ref_7120G_001.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.patek.com//html/en/.....G_001.html</a> </p> <p>In case I ever drown in my money, I know what to do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279714 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 16:48:23 +0000 chewyspaghetti 279714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't even browse things that far out of my price range.

When I dream, I like to be completely impractical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279627 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 06:06:31 +0000 CocoLion 279627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. A vintage Chanel skirt &amp; jacket. I could wear this until I'm 90.<br /> 2. A minimal sheath and jacket such as one by Calvin Klein (the ones made in Italy). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279621 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 05:50:51 +0000 wilson 279621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see the appeal of the dress Maya, it has so many possibilities.</p> <p>Mine would probably be a perfect Chanel suit. It isn't practical for me right now but I could see it being something I would wear on Easter and to bridal showers when I am an older lady with snow white hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279613 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 05:27:41 +0000 Tanya 279613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If we are talking practical, then this trench: <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod121700010&#038;parentId=cat37230747&#038;masterId=cat000227&#038;index=8&#038;cmCat=cat000000cat000001cat000009cat000019cat000227cat37230747" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/st.....at37230747</a></p> <p>Otherwise, this dress:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dolcegabbana-polka-dot-stretch-georgette-dress/3143880?origin=category&#038;resultback=628" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/do.....ltback=628</a></p> <p>Black&amp;white polka dots like Maya's pick, but very different vibe.</p> <p>And the dancing part of my personality wants this dress:</p> <p><a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod121500066&#038;parentId=cat13480752&#038;masterId=cat000019&#038;index=8&#038;cmCat=cat000000cat000001cat000009cat000019cat13480752" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/st.....at13480752</a></p> <p>( yes, I realize these are three items, but could not resist). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279558 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 03:49:18 +0000 Maya 279558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Una I don't wear leather anywhere but my feet, and my feet are fussy, so shoes, bags, and other leather items like jackets are all out. </p> <p>Coats would be limiting, since I could only wear them seasonally.</p> <p>But I do wear a lot of dresses all year round, and I like clean simple dresses. If it's something I'd wear a lot, why not spend a lot on it? I don't want or expect something fussier just because I'm spending more. If anything it should be much easier to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279555 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 03:45:42 +0000 Dusty 279555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cciele - I have a knit very similar to that Missoni dress, except mine is all blue. I loved the fabric but had no idea what to do with it - you've just given me a idea!</p> <p>I don't often look at the things that are waaaay out of my budget, so I don't think I have anything there to name and the things that are just slightly out of my budget tend to get pinned on Pinterest for inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279551 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 03:42:22 +0000 catgirl 279551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with cciele - a Missoni dress. Although they do turn up on consignment for around $200 now and then. Or something Burberry, or a really amazing shearling aviator jacket.</p> <p>Maya, I'm sure that dress is impeccable, but $925 for a simple cotton shift still makes me crazy. It almost makes me want to get my sewing machine out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279522 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 02:49:20 +0000 Lisa 279522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Van Cleef &amp; Arpel Alhambra Vintage Necklace in White Gold and Chalcedony </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-could-pick-just-one-thing#post-279477 Thu, 13 Jan 2011 01:53:22 +0000 ticksgirl 279477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These boots of Giovanna Battaglia's (or pretty much anything else from her wardrobe, really).

I love the shape. I love the polkadots. I love the pockets. The sleeves. The neckline. And unlike a lot of expensive designer pieces, this is something I could actually wear in my everyday life. If I'm going to get a $900 dress, I want it to be something I wear all the time. Assuming the quality matches the price, I bet it would be worth every penny. </p>
