Notes of a shopaholic

Tuesday, November 04, 2003:

Oh--I've been lazy about updating. I think the problem is not my own laziness (why would I want to blame that?) but the lack of a fresh shopping option. This season the big news is that J Crew, Brooks Brothers et al are promoting the 'classics.' I'm getting sleepy again.

Last week I ordered a blazer from French Connection off Bluefly. I've always thought French Connection was overpriced for clothes similar in quality (slightly hipper) to Banana Republic. This blazer seemed like a good deal for 79.99 (Bluefly price). As it happens, I would compare the quality to what you would expect from the International Male catalogue. Shoulder pads out to here, kind of yucky material.

I was much happier with an argyle sweater I snagged at Banana Republic for $50. A bit of a rip-off (although it fits nicely)--hopefully it will be marked down further before my ability to get the one time markdown refund ends.

Then I snagged a blazer from Hugo Boss on Ebay for $30 (what makes that especially sweet is that I had credit in my paypal account). Haven't gotten it yet, so can't comment.
