very bad things

I went to the Eastside Upside Down sale early Saturday morning. I bee-lined over to the Posh on Main sale racks to see if I would be lucky enough to find the Sigerson Morrison boots I had been coveting since probably October. They were originally $650 I'd watched them go down from 30% off to 50% off and still I felt they were too expensive.



Guess how much I found them for??? $100! Wawaweewah!
But can I be more annoyed? I wore them for the first time today and already I got the heel caught in a crack in the cement and the leather is all scraped. I suck.)

I also got this Lauren Merkin clutch for $50 from $180. The one I bought is a faded navy blue.



And then I bought two dresses. Including this fun Anna Sui one.



How could I resist it at $63?
(I don't remember who the designer is for the other dress I bought.. It was way too big, but I knew it wouldn't be too expensive to have it taken in so I dropped it off at my alteration lady's.

Obviously, my budget just got thrown out the window. I guess no shopping until July for me!

mission

For the last week, I've been on this mission to find the perfect (inexpensive) silver clutch that my friend is desperate to own. We had to clarify what inexpensive meant since sometimes my sense of value is quite different than the rest of the world.. I guess I could've named my blog "thinkrichbitch".

Anyway, she wants something preferably under $100. I'm starting to realize how difficult it really is to find something of quality in that price range. The really cute ones are all at least twice that.

By far, this little one by Lauren Merkin is my fave.



Of course, while I'm at the site, I click onto the SALE section. What do I find? Can I be more selfish?



It's on sale and I didn't buy it!
