the Valentino dream

Everyone knows that my favorite place to shop is Loehmanns. Well last week I was perusing the sales rack when I came across a satin rose Valentino pencil skirt.

I think I stopped breathing for about 5 minutes.

It was originally $299 marked down to $224 with 50% off of that. Plus I had a coupon for 20% off any one item and my 10% of membership card which brought the skirt down to about $75!

I rushed and tried it on. Yeah is was a little tight but I could walk in it. I stared at myself in the mirror in awe of what I was about to do.

My first Valentino piece. OMFG!

I went home and tried it on again. Only this time I attempted to SIT DOWN.

(insert sh!t face here)
O_o

That's when I knew. Thats when I knew, the skirt was going back!

I could barely sit!

I rarely return items but this Valentino dream has got to be returned.

So close...yet so far away.

Have you ever had to return something you loved so much?

Thrifted Easter Goodies and Contest Winner

Last week I had my first One-On-One Thrift and the City tour..Yay I'm growing! It was pretty awesome and although I convinced myself I wasn't buying anything...I did!

I got two awesome pieces: a lovely champagne colored dress with nice pleated detailing and a vintage jumper (yes its pants not a skirt)!

Total price for both...$22 fashion STEELE!

The tour went rather smoothly and we even had time to stop off at one of my favorite Thai Restaurants for some shopping fuel!

I ended up wearing the thrifted champagne colored dress today for Easter Service at church.
