The Day My Mother Almost Killed Me.

Date of Potential Death: Friday, February 15th.

Approximate Time AMEX Was Swiped: 7:16 PM.

Location: Barney's Warehouse Sale-NYC fashionista's greatest kept secret

Result: $600.13 in damage, but two amazing pairs of shoes, a dress, and a tank top.

Yes, I spent that much money on 5 items...but I saved ALOT. I got a Splendid tank top (regular $50), for $9.00. My Marc "This will go perfect for walks in Central Park with a picnic basket in May" Jacobs dress was $159, originally $420. The Guillaume "Perfect office day to night tan pump with bow" Hinfray stilettos were originally $425, I paid $105. Although what I'm MOST proud of...are this AMAZING, super sexy Dolce "Come do my right now" & Gabanna gold, mirrored, snakeskin stilettos. Orginally $980. I paid $300.

Okay, $300 for shoes....that sounds absurd, I'm aware...but I mean, you put on a decent pair of shoes and you just feel better. Immediately better. And let me tell you, these are HOT. These shoes are amazing with jeans, shorts, skirts, capris, dresses, underwear...naked...ANYTHING. I've already gotten ridiculous amounts of compliments for them, so that means it's a perfect investment in my eyes.

So in total, I saved $1,302. I had to put back a pair of black patent leather Prada's which was rather depressing, as well a another Marc Jacobs dress, two shirts from Rebecca Taylor, a DVF dress, and a Alice + Ritter blazer...but a girl can dream!
