So I've be good, really good. I'm trying to save for Whistler, ski boots & Australia. But tonight I was downtown buying a limited edition red Nars lip pencil. I made the mistake of stopping by Via C in Nordstrom and seeing my sales associate. She found me a Kenzo tiger sweatshirt, the one I've been stalking for almost a year in my size, last one in the company. I ordered it. I did however get $50 off it due to random coupon from customer service. Shall the flogging commence?

Sorry, Anna, I cannot flog you. I know you are saving...you have done well. And you are doing lots of call. This is not flog-worthy.

Different than an impulse purchase. I'd crack on something I'd been stalking for a year too. The question is, do you still find it just as current for your wardrobe, given that a year has gone by?

No flogging here either, but I also wonder if it will seem stale to you now.

I remember when you first posted about the Kenzo sweatshirt. This isn't an impulse purchase. No flogging necessary. You have been a very good girl

Flog, flog. Send it my way! (just kidding)
I agree with the others. It's an item you've been eyeing. You can see how it plays in your wardrobe; it's never a done deal till you decide to keep it, right? If you love it, it was just meant to be.

No judgement fromhere either. Sounds like a wise and prudent purchase

If no one else will flog you I'll do it.
On second thought....hmmm, stalking for a year AND $50 off. I can't even flog you and I really want to hit something.

I just think the universe owed you some good luck for a change and has coughed up a bitsy bit.

Also my sales associate said I should consider these

The eye-print pants are more of a novelty. I like the way the eyes are different on the waistband--some wide open, others half open, etc. I think you might not get as much wear out of the pants as you would from the chic sweatshirt.

I really smiled at Manidipa's response!

Not digging the pants at all since so many of your statement pieces are jackets and shoes.

But you've had that sweatshirt on your mind for that long and still wanted it - you couldn't not buy it. And if it isn't heavenly on, you can always return it!

I like! Kenzo started the tiger face trend didn't it? It reflects the trend while the grey color is classic so overall the piece doesn't scream look at me.

I would try the eye print concept skinnies at a place like H&M before I went for them at $640.
