The first item I want to show off is this purple dress I got from the clearance rack at Charlotte Russe. It's got a vintagy feel and I think it's elegant without being stuffy. I finally (after a long time of wanting one) got a wide belt yesterday so I can cinch the waist if I want to.
Cost: 4.00
I stopped at a local consignment shop (New Enuf) and stumbled upon these amazing shoes. I picked them up with my sister-in-law in mind because they were her size, but I put them on my feet and they fit me! Good for me, bummer for her. They're yellow leather pumps made in Spain. They were even 50% off. Super cool!!
Cost: 4.50
Always a sucker for buttons and happy colors, this skirt caught my attention right away. It hits a few inches above my knees and is both cute and comfortable. Again, it looks vaguely vintage, so I've gotta love it.Cost: 7.00
OK, here's a major splurge for me. I've decided recently that I'm going to stop buying cheap shoes and start buying more leather. I'm also addicted to boots. I have some amazing vintage black "riding boots" that aren't the most comfortable things on earth. I have black heeled lace-up boots. But I don't have any basic black boots that I can actually walk around in. I found these at 50% off and loved them, but walked away because I dind't want to fork over the cash. I found some awesome trendy boots for about half the price and texted hubby, "$30 super cool trendy boots or $70 leather investment boots," and he answered me "investment," so I hurried back to these babies. They're a teensy bit loose at the heel so I'm trying to decide whether or not to keep them (maybe I could get those little stick-on "petals"?). I love them, so I'm hoping my feet do too.
Cost: 70.00 (ouch!)
Any thoughts/votes/suggestions on the boots?

Love the dress! Great shoes! Adorable skirt.
I really like the boots. I hope they work for you. That's a great price for boots too. (even though it's more than your usual bargains).
It is a good price for leather boots but not if they are going to give you blisters. I would suggest wearing them around inside the house until you are absolutely SURE.
The dress is very pretty. LOVE, LOVE the shoes. Those are awesome and cute. The skirt? You will probably look tres cute in it, but it just isn't my favorite.
