SPLURGE: Jeans and handbags
Read More »
Really great jeans wear well so they last longer. (I’m still wearing a pair of Joe’s Jeans I bought in 2003.) I also splurge on handbags. My rationale: I take the subway instead of owning a car, so my handbag is the “vehicle” for my notebooks, magazines, umbrella, lunch, and often my laptop.

I am a self-proclaimed "bargain shopper."
Everything I buy is either on sale or extremely cheap to begin

I'm a *total* sucker for
celebrities. So when I got an invitation to attend "An Evening

I think I've broken the five-hundred mark on one or two occasions, for job interview dresses (completely worth it when you get the job, totally not if you don't). Five-hundred is a lot though: Even my wedding dress was less than that. So, why I am a sincerely contemplating...
