Well, it was pink and black - I'm sure it's been dust for at least a decade now.

Yep, boyfriends sure are hot right now Oops, I meant boyfriend cut of course I second what Anh says. Most of my pants these days are boyfriend cut. Shel, I think that outfit would look amazing! Go for it

LOL@ Iri - yep, I know, you're in that new stage where everything he does in incredibly hot. The best thing I can think of to wish for you is that that "stage" never ends .

May have to go looking for some big shirts....

I found a really nice leather purse, but it is a bit pricy... $200 CAD. Too much? It is something that I could wear for a long time, though.

How many other really nice purses do you have? If the number is more than two, I'd suggest that you don't really need it, no matter how nice it is.

OTOH, it also depends on how much $200 CAD is to you. If you have disposable income of $1000 CAD per week, then you should get it. If you have disposable income of $100 CAD per week, perhaps not.

Perhaps you should wait til the next sale. If it's on sale for less than $150, buy it

Derby shoes should go with boyfriend cut

Iri, you must have more than 2 wardrobes at home Remember to post the picts!

[Latinandgreek]

I don't have 2 nice purses, in fact I don't have a black, go with anything purse at all (or rather I didn't until last night.) I ended up finding an even nicer Coach purse in sale for $140!

I have a very very big wardrobe But I had to give away three quarters of the clothes I owned, because they don't fit me anymore. So I really don't have that many clothes, and the wardrobe is mostly empty I'm going for quality clothes these days, but since they are more expensive I can only a couple of pieces every month.

That sounds like a good plan. A few good quality outfits that look really good (& will last), rather than lots of mediocre stuff.

I really should do that myself. I have only two or three really nice things, and thats including the kilt. Most of my stuff is rather cheap.

I am too poor to buy cheap things. All the stuff I buy is extremely expensive and well made. Often hand-made shoes, always good handbags, sunglasses and clothes. I spent 450€ on that Miyake piece but it is a timeless one that is very versatile. And I don't own much.

The Burberrys (navy, light blue and red)were bought in the 80s and 90s, too, and Aquascutums (both creme, but different cuts) in the last decade. All still going strong and I am very often asked, how I manage to show up in a different raincoat each day of the week

My two favourite handbags (one brown, one black) are from Longchamps, bought in 1992 and still look like new even though I wear them constantly. For rainy days I use a Fendi bag I got in the early ninties so I don't screw the calf leather of the Longchamps.

My furniture is Antiques, the couch about 200 years old. I bought it in 1993 and only changed the fabric on it once because I moved in 2001 and wanted another color scheme in my new flat.

One thing apart from buying timeless pieces is for caring and mending your stuff. And it also helps if you like to clean shoes, buy good shoe trees, learn to air your clothes and to brush the dust off them.

You, my dear, are so french

I have an old kelly handbag, it belonged to my grandmother, I love and cherish it, but I don't use it often because I like it too much and would like to give it to my daughter. My mom gave it to me, she could not care less

Real crocodile here inherited from my granny and two dark blue ones. One of the blue ones has a red leather interior and its own little mirror in one of its pouches. The back of the mirror is coated with the handbags leathers

I really need to buy new clothes.

I don't think I've spent money on clothes in probably a couple of years...
