Now onto the main content of this entry. Online shopping. I feel like I went a little overboard these last couple of weeks on shopping online as I bought a total of 5 items. It may not sound much but it definitely is more than usual for me.
The first item is a pair of Genetic - James cigarette zippered jeans which I found on ideeli.com for $40.00 with a retail price of $198.00. It may seem like a great deal but I'll make the judgment call once I receive my item and then compare them with my other $40.00 jeans in my closet.
The picture above shows the jeans. With my new lifestyle... well not being an unemployed college student any longer, I've been wanting to trade up my Charlotte Russe jeans for some Hign-end designer jeans. Instead of coughing up $200.00 for my first pair, I decided to buy some from one of those flash sale websites at a discount (a steep discount no less!). I wanted to check the quality of a pair of pricey jeans without having to spend $200.00 which is why i checked out sites like ideeli, myhabit, and gilt. Of course many other factors should be considered when it comes to spending $200 on jeans. I think the most important one is "if I can afford it" and that would be a yes. Hopefully satisfaction will be met once i receive these jeans in the mail. There is one negative that I wanted to point out about ideeli.com. I was not too happy with the fact that they provided the estimated ship date after you've placed the order. I ordered these last week and the est. ship date it provided me was Mar. 19. More than 2 weeks of placing the order.
Next items on the list are 2 pairs of Vince Camuto pumps which I bought from www.shoptheshoebox.com for $35 each.
The above is a photo of eldred pumps in "new caramel" color. I actually own the same pair already but in black and they fit nicely and are quite comfy. Not to mention they look super sexy when worn with jeans, slacks or pencil skirts. I love the versatility of these pumps; I can wear them out to dinner with the boyfriend, or to a job interview or the office, or to a night club on a night out with the girls. I am looking forward to wearing these pumps this spring/summer with pastel dresses and tops. I can also wear them with my red skinny jeans and a white flowy top. I'm also ecstatic by the fact that i purchased these at $35. I bought the black ones for $70 at Dillards and they were already onsale! I believe retail price is around $120.
The above is a photo of the Jenessa pumps which i also bought from shoptheshoebox.com. I also got these for $35.00. For some reason, I'm looking forward to wearing these with a red top and black or dark grey high waist-ed pencil skirts. Or perhaps with a nice sheer, black, pleated skirt.
Today is Sunday and bf and I didn't really have anything planned for the day. We had lunch at Five Guys and went home to pretty much lounge the day away. I decided to park my butt on the couch with the laptop on my lap and the bf decided to play his video games. I stumbled upon www.bluefly.com and found that they are currently having their end of season sale. I scored the following items.
The army cargo pants are by Costa Blanca and they are ankle length. I'm short so I really appreciate the 28' inseam. I scored them for $15.59 and the retail price is $125.00.
The sapphire floral linen top is by Free People known for their bohemian style. I scored this lovely top for $14.94 and the retail price is $78.
Yep, I love saving money.
Also, I'm really enjoying Justin Nozuka tunes played by Pandora.
