Sex & the City and Shopping - Wheeeee! - 6/17/2008

I finally took myself to see Sex & the City. What fun! It was like hanging out with old friends - old friends who attend all the major happenings & dress perfectly for them all. So many outfits to drool over. I want to be Carrie! But then again doesn't everyone? I actually thought Miranda outfits were better than in the series. I particularly loved the outfit she wore to the bridge to meet Steve. I've never been as into Charlotte's style - it's a little to clean & goodie goodie for me, though it works for her. Also, Samantha is a bit matchy-match & a little old school power suity for me even though I love watching her story unfold. There was such drama!

I did decide that as much as I love Carrie's choices, they wouldn't work for me quite the same since I live in a much more casual place that New York. If I showed up anywhere in fur I'd get some really funny looks. Also walking in heels everywhere would kill me. I am trying though! I wore the shoes that I photographed myself in this morning!

So, all in all, I laughed, I cried... I loved it! And of course, the fashion inspired me to go shopping afterwards.
You know, the sales just aren't around like they have been in the past. Maybe I just need to wait till a little deeper into the summer. That's when all the major clearance pricing starts happening around here. Summer is actually off-season in Florida. We are on exactly the opposite schedule as the north.
I only bought two things on my sojourn to Marshalls. A red nylon & black leather handbag by DKNY pictured at right. It got it for a sixth of the retail price. It's cuter in person & has tons of division. I need that so all the crap I haul around will stay organized.
I also picked up a really cool lightweight scarf in ivory, pale yellow & periwinle. It will make an appearance in an outfit this week so stay tuned!
