My Name is MissAmy and I Am a Shopaholic - 4/22/2008

OK, I've been trying really hard to only shop to stock my online store. I fell off the wagon this weekend.

I had gotten a $50 gift visa card that came in the mail - it was a rebate thing. So, after the Relay for Life I decided to treat myself to a Marshalls outing. I normally don't shop for the store at Marshalls BTW because they don't have the really high end stuff that TJMaxx has had lately & they are not as inexpensive as the wonderful thrift stores I frequent. So, anyway, Marshalls called. I always pile loads of stuff in my cart and then go through it all to see what I really need/want. This is my plunder from that day!
The tank is the brightest, richest pink ever - it's encroaching on neon. The embroidered panel is sewn through with gold thread, then attached to a cotton panel the same shape and then finally sewed onto the top. I love the softness, the drape & the one-of-a-kind feel it has. See how I wore it today.
This skirt from The Limited was too cute to pass up. It is a really lightweight cotton with great colorblocking at the bottom. This will be great for spring/summer!
I had to narrow the shoe take down to two pair. Shown below are the Bongo pair on the left - all manmade, but I don't care on this pair since they are a totally unbelievable shade of pearly silver. No one would believe leather comes in this color, so I don't care. Especially as they are really comfy with their wwedge heel. The second pair is Me Too black leather flats - toe is neither too square, round or pointy. I could have used a size down, I realized when I wore them yesterday but they are still comfy & cute!
The last piece I got is this gorgeously cut blazer from Nine West. It's my favorite color - a dark grey and the cut is divine. Also, even though it is a size 8 - tiny for me! - it fits! Amazing. But on top of that it is so flatteringly cut I feel like a size 8!
So, all in all, it all costed more than the $50 but not too much more. Essentially, I haven't been that naughty at all. Ha!
I'm sure I'll get up to some creative things with these goodies but I did play with them on Sunday, so cruise on over to MyStyleDiary to see what fun I had with them so far!
