Free shipping is a great thing, because it lets me order stuff and try it on without guilt. I found a few such items at Nordstrom this week (thanks to my Shop It To Me email), all on sale, including this DVF top for more than half off. (The model looks a bit creepy, doesn’t she?)

I found a couple sale items at Neiman Marcus . This is one of the two dresses I ordered to try on (horay for free shipping!). I love the cut and style, but I tend to avoid the neutrals in my closet. This will have to be really perfect for me to keep it.

This was a sale find at Neiman Marcus. It really allows me to embrace my love of color and prints. The sleeves worry me a bit, but I couldn’t resist these colors and a DVF dress on sale.

The brown boots I ordered fit fine, but they are not especially fabulous. These, on the other hand, certainly are. They look a bit shiny in the picture, but they aren’t patent - just normal leather. My only worry is that the platform might look too high for me to wear these to work, but we’ll see after I try them on. I love the spectator pumps I got from LAMB last year, and I’m hoping these are as great.

Alas, this Badgley Mischka dress is not available in my size. Otherwise, I’d have it!

Ah, socks. I rarely wear them. I have little ankle socks for home during the winter, I got barefoot during the summer. However, with boots I always wear them and the ankle ones don’t work. The problem is that I only have 2 pairs, and I wear my boots more often than that, so I’m always frantically washing or searching. To solve this, I bought 8 new pairs of argyle socks from the gap. They were cheap and will make my life much easier come cold times.

I’ve been needing a pair of brown boots for a long time. I wore my black ones almost every day last winter and I really could have used brown ones. These are just what I want, except that they are pull on instead of zip up. I have trouble getting this style on, but I figure it’s worth a shot. These are Cole Haan and look great, so I’ll try hard It’s worth the Bluefly shipping fee to give them a try.

I have a pair of jeans, but they have never especially comfortable. I ordered these an inch bigger. Normally, they aren’t quite right an inch bigger, but I’m hoping it will work out this time. I love the way the Joe’s Jeans look and the Bluefly price is pretty reasonable.

Tiffany’s website is kind of like porn for me. I browse it not infrequently for the pleasure of oggling the goods. My favorite activity is to look at the diamond necklaces sorted from most expensive to least. This is not the most expensive necklace - there is one for well over $1 million and frankly, I don’t like that one very much. THIS is available for the bargain price of $450,000. If I had that kind of money to drop on jewelry, I think I’d also have occasions to wear this.
