Proof of my expensive taste:
In the last week several WAY out of my range items have caught my eye. Here is a short illustrated list:
Christian Louboutain shoes: I can't find a picture, but they are black satin pointy toe stiletto heels. On the back is a two-toned inch and half wide black satin bow, a falling waterfall of loops.
Price: $925
This is the one item I think I can improvise on my own. If I find plain satin pumps, my mom is a whiz at making bows (silly florist that she is) and I can use a glue gun or such.
----
Rebecca Minkoff "Elisha" purse: It's a beautiful, soft leather satchel with a shoulder strap and wrist straps, the top is slightly curved and it has a flat bottom. Soooooo adorable.
Price: $585
Not the most expensive bag ever, but certainly no where near my price range. I looked on the website www.bagborrowsteal.com where you can pay a fee to rent a bag, but they don't have it.
----
Tiffany "Bloom" ring: I saw it on a girl working at Anthropologie and it was just so pretty. At least I think it's this ring, it's not really polite to ask, I just told her I thought it was beautiful. I don't really like diamonds, but for some reason it caught my eye.
Price: $2,350 (Can we hear a big "fuck no"?)
There's a place in Capitol Hill that makes huge cocktail rings with semi-precious and precious stones, they start at a *lot* less and maybe I'll treat myself for my 25th. About time I start wearing grown up jewelry.
----
Coach "Phoebe" swing leather jacket: it's in a caramel yellow leather. Bracelet length sleeves.
Price: $998
Oh well. It's fine, not as if I'm dying for any of this stuff. It's just stuff. But it's so pretty. And/or feels so nice. Heh. It's okay, if I wanted to I could have chosen a lucrative career. Stuff doesn't make me happy. But it doesn't make me unhappy, either. :)
