I don't seem to stay with one dream object. It would probably be a bag, though. There was a very classic, simple Ferragamo satchel I kept coming back to as an aspirational-style purse. If I had to choose one item, it would have to be something so simple and classic that I felt I could (and would) wear it forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/3#post-1487129 Tue, 05 May 2015 18:29:39 +0000 danysedai 1487129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine would be an Elsa Peretti for Tiffany Bone Cuff in silver for my left wrist. The one I actually love is the split cuff but I think it would be too large and dramatic for every day wear. I was at Tiffany's on Saturday and tried the ruthenium one but really want the silver. My husband almost fainted when I told him the price but the compromise is that if I get it that will be my big ticket item for the year. The SA I talked to put my name down in a list and will let me know when she gets one.</p> <p>Another would be a Hermes shawl, not a scarf, a big shawl in vibrant colours. I have a Hermes scarf that I never wear but I love it so much that I've been thinking of having it framed. &nbsp;It's called "Brise de Charmes" and it had fans all over it (I love fans). It looks like this colourway.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/3#post-1487115 Tue, 05 May 2015 18:10:57 +0000 Marina 1487115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first choice would be a new black leather blazer-like jacket (when I find one that is affordable it doesn't fit, when it fits it's out of my budget), but&nbsp;I would be quite happy with a long or midi-lenght convertible dress in a flattering color too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/3#post-1487103 Tue, 05 May 2015 17:49:17 +0000 old chic 1487103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Completely politically incorrect.

A fellow voluptuary, Lisap! I got this idea from a friend whose family had been very wealthy and she had been disinherited, but not before an aunt gave her about five feet of platinum and diamond rope. She wore that thing gardening and woodworking! Perfectly safe as no one would believe it was real. Thing cost more than the her house and she refered to it as her retirement.<br /> See, practical! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/3#post-1487024 Tue, 05 May 2015 15:08:17 +0000 Anonymous 1487024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh&nbsp;<b>Olivegreen,&nbsp;</b>I like your idea too ....and I so agree, ridiculous luxury goes with everything :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/3#post-1486920 Tue, 05 May 2015 11:54:35 +0000 Olivegreen 1486920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A ridiculously heavy vintage Bulgari choker necklace, with aquamarines.

It's not really practical because there are probably only 3 months of the year I could wear it because of our warm weather, and I will never, ever pay $4K for a jacket, but.....we can all dream..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/3#post-1486648 Mon, 04 May 2015 23:40:43 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1486648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know that I have one - for clothes or accessories, anyway. I'm too used to the low-to-mid range and I fear that if I bought a high-end designer item I'd be spoiled and never be able to wear my regular clothes, shoes and bags happily again. Then again, I've seen designer stuff in the thrift stores on occasion and with very rare exception they don't really seem <i>that</i> much nicer than mall store stuff. Nicer, but not hundreds of percents of money nicer.</p> <p>Jewelry would be a good investment, I suppose. Maybe a nice watch. Honestly, I'd much rather have a rare out-of-print book or a trip to foreign lands...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/3#post-1486641 Mon, 04 May 2015 23:27:12 +0000 Deborah 1486641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa I totally here you on not wanting a preloved Hermes scarf - however my sister has an obsession with Hermes scarves (she is much more classic in her style than I am) and she has purchased hers preloved, mostly via Ebay and they are genuine. &nbsp;She absolutely loves here little collection and wears them frequently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/2#post-1486604 Mon, 04 May 2015 21:58:53 +0000 retailgirl 1486604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap...I agree with you about not wanting a pre-loved Hermes scarf! Although if I were a thrifter and found one somewhere, ( not likely) I'd be thrilled. A few years ago I treated myself to a Cartier tank watch, and I had researched them for a long time. I could have bought it online, but I went to a Cartier boutique, looked at all my options, tried them on, and made my selection. It was fitted to my wrist and then it came with the beautiful box and bag and the wonderful service which is all part of buying a luxury item. It's a wonderful memory and when I do buy my Hermes scarf, it will be a similar experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/2#post-1486515 Mon, 04 May 2015 18:48:50 +0000 Anonymous 1486515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie ,&nbsp;</b>please stop talking about a Celine bag or I'm going to change my mind and post about my secret Givency Pandora bag obsession. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/2#post-1486499 Mon, 04 May 2015 18:27:13 +0000 Angie 1486499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOH.

BUT, I would have to be forced to splurge. It sounds silly, maybe, but the money would have to not be able to be spent on anything else. I got a large stock comp a few years back, and I couldn't bring myself to be anything but practical with it even though DH told me to use some of it buy something for myself I would never normally buy. I just couldn't do it. I used it to pay down more of the mortgage, practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/2#post-1486465 Mon, 04 May 2015 17:14:41 +0000 tulle 1486465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fell hard this year for St Laurent's sooty black suede jacket fringed at the hem, pockets, and spiraling along the sleeves.&nbsp; I'm not even a fringe person generally, and there will never be a time when that price fits in my clothing budget, but oh, if I had that jacket, I think I would wear it with EVERYTHING.</p> <p>P.S. Lisa, my Hermes scarf (present from my husband) is beautiful, but I confess I find it rather hard to wear. The slippery, crisp twill has a lot of body and tends to bunch or slide around my neck unless I trap it under the neckline of a jacket.&nbsp; Wearing it out to eat worries me, too, as I tend to get spots on things. Nothing beats it for&nbsp; luxe detail, especially with a coat, but most of the time I reach for one of my (thrifted) vintage Italian silk scarves:&nbsp; similarly beautiful designs and fine finishing for a few dollars--and I'm not afraid to wear or wash them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-one-special-dream-piece/page/2#post-1486458 Mon, 04 May 2015 17:04:38 +0000 viva 1486458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh darn.

Such an interesting question. For me, it wouldn't be clothing or accessories at all. I am way too fickle, and I just don't care about clothes that much. (I'm sinning by saying that, I know.) Whatever I would buy, I would probably consider consigning the next year. :(</p> <p>Here's my dream item: a bespoke backgammon board.
