It would have to be single breasted with some interesting details (assymetry, some origami-esque detailing, etc.) and machine-washable</p> <p>OR</p> <p>A wonderful caramel or cognac super-soft leather moto jacket, also with some kind of interesting or unusual details.

It doesn't quite feel like a splurge because I will be using it for work and that doesn't feel so fun. I think I generally associate splurge with fun stuff. But I am excited about the prospect of getting it because they feel so nice and fit so well. So I think it will create a great foundation for more splurge-y things to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50783 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 06:49:37 +0000 Alexandra 50783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. I would have to say a Chanel jumbo flap bag. I'm not big into labels, but this bag is so classy and timeless to me. It's one of those things I want to treat really well and be able to pull out of my closet in 30 years and still rock it. Unfortunately, $1700 (or whatever it retails, I don't even know) is planets away from even my splurge price range. My brother works part time at Bloomies in Boston--I'm thinking of having him price out what it would cost me when his next big employee sale comes along.</p> <p>Photo example (I'd want a fun color, I think):<br /> <a href="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm93/bagcraze/blog%20august/chanellc.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i294.photobucket.com/al.....anellc.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50735 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:51:28 +0000 Lena 50735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I'm kind of thankful I don't have anything at the moment. Which is rarely the case. I saved a lot over the holidays, and I recently splurged on boots and a bag (I'll have to see it before I make a final decision), so it's good nothing is tempting me at the moment. Heh, and now that I've said it I'm sure I'll come upon something very tempting.</p> <p>Steffie, I saw that Guess trench coat while window shopping recently. I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50726 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:53:49 +0000 Kristen 50726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A perfect black pencil skirt that will magically go down in size when I do.</p> <p>No? </p> <p>I really want a bright-colored bag for spring. I saw this Kate Spade one in cream and in yellow, and I honestly can't decide which I like more. The cream is just classically perfect in every way, but I am powerless against summery yellow!</p> <p><a href="http://www.katespade.com/sm-westbury-small-flat-serena--pi-3403515.html/0~2376780~6009391~6013615~6017036?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6017036&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.katespade.com/sm-we.....6&#038;P=1</a></p> <p>I saw it at Von Maur for a bit less.

I saw the most amazing pair of gold Tracy Reese t-strap flat sandals. They had nice wide straps made out of super soft leather and little bows. They were perfect and they looked like they might actually be comfortable since the straps were not skinny or stiff. But I did not bother trying them on because I knew I couldn't afford them, so I did not want to tempt myself further. I really wonder if I'm making a mistake though. My feet are so temperamental that it might be a worthwhile investment and I *do* have a friend that could get me a discount. I just don't know. I have spent so much money lately it makes me nauseous. They're probably gone by now anyway... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50719 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:13:11 +0000 Kari 50719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LeeHovey, I know, it is adorable... I have the pencil skirt in the same wash, so I'm kind of kicking myself for not snapping up that jacket when it was available. However, they never had my size in the store and the next size up was just big enough that it didn't look right... and I just couldn't justify paying $10+ more to buy online. I guess it wasn't meant to be.</p> <p>I just caught your "splurge items" above that I didn't see the first time around. The bag and dress are totally cute. I tend to have a running list of items from Anthropologie that I dream of owning, and once in a blue moon I actually find them on the clearance rack - keep watching to see if the price comes down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50718 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:12:40 +0000 carissa 50718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This handbag: <a href="http://www.elaineturner.com/nanci-printed-snake-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.elaineturner.com/na.....ke-leather</a>.</p> <p>My previous two purses are from this designer but I scored them 60% or so discounted. I passed up a conservative looking but functional bag that was on the cheap when I saw the pink embossed python. I'm a sucker for snake skin look alikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50717 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:07:16 +0000 Lee Hovey 50717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow those are all beautiful items!<br /> NC what a gorgeous sweat, I love the color and texture!<br /> Kari, I have totally drooled over that jacket every time I go in the store, its such a nice light denim material, looks so comfy yet tailored! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50714 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:01:08 +0000 Kari 50714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been craving this denim jacket from Ann Taylor: <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=18207&#038;N=1200012&#038;pCategoryId=101&#038;categoryId=187&#038;Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_187&#038;showAll=Y&#038;defaultColorNameFromCategory=Dark%20Rinse&#038;defaultSizeTypeFromCategory=Misses" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/catal.....ory=Misses</a></p> <p>I was waiting to see if it would go on sale (even 25% off online wasn't a great discount because tax &#38; shipping bumped it up over $80) except that they are now out of my size, so it's a moot point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50713 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 01:52:59 +0000 April 50713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A pair of low-heeled, Duo calf-fit boots, with a 30 cm (12-inch) calf circumference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-current-splurge-item#post-50712 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 01:49:16 +0000 NCyogini 50712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is no reason for me to own this coat.
