VDawn, yes, the backpack is so cute, but I'm not sure I have a real need for it. I collected it mainly because I love the print! It looks very similar (if not the same) as the jacket below in Finds, which I found a few months ago at a TJMaxx. I think I'm content with just having the jacket, but I might check out the bag, if I happen to see it in person. I'm pretty thoroughly supplied on bags, and I'm not even using them all these days, as it seems my Bao Bao gets carried far more than anything else!
LJP, isn't that trench great? I'm not sure that military green is my best green, but again, I'd be curious to see it in person. I have no need for more coats, but I do love that silhouette and the mixed media.
The PS pants are really cool -- I have no idea how their fits are, and pants are not easiest for me anyway, but I might order them to try. It's rare that pants grab my attention these days!
Interesting about the CM top -- that silhouette is probably not likely to work well for me, it's the kind of cut that usually snags on my hips, but again, if I see it in person...
Angie, that sweatshirt is cute! I do like a good casual white top. I'll keep an eye out, even though I don't *need* it. And the Z&V blazers caught my eye, but I definitely do NOT need more blazers! I need to wear the few I have more often.
MsMaven, I've gotten pickier about the feel of fabrics too -- I reject a lot of things in stores for how they feel. I can't stand that plasticky feeling polyester anymore!
Kelly, I hear you about the plaid. I have a couple of plaid shirts and get a decent amount of wear out of them. One is getting rather old. I had a favorite old one at the ranch, in black and white, but it got too small for me, so I'm thinking of a similar monochromatic plaid in black and white or navy and white. Again, not a need, but if the fit and the feel are right, I could justify it.
I have not been buying much recently. Other than the Maria + Zero Cornejo dress in NYC (which I am wearing right now), I've been out of shopping mode. We're deep in kitchen planning (ordering appliances today!!), so that's consuming more of my time and attention, not to mention budget!
