What I bought instead of Missoni...
this lovely peacock wool blazer.
Yep, that is correct.
I didn't run out to Target to buy anything from the line
on Tuesday.
Oh, I had planned to, oh yes I did, but the more I tried
to access the Target website, the more
I realized that I am not one to pay $$ for an item of clothing.
In that time I also realized that I didn't really LOVE
anything the line had to offer.
Oh, there were a couple of items that I liked a lot
but nothing that I HAD to have.
So the Goodwill it was and this little lovely practically
jumped off the rack into my arms
so I couldn't possibly not
purchase it.
I love the ruching on the sleeve and the amazing heathered blend of the colors.
I didn't think the pictures did it justice so I took a close up for you.
Okay, so I do need to be honest.
I am not one with the best will power
so I did head to Target on Wednesday,
obviously wearing my lovely blazer,
and did purchase the last two items
that were still there in an adult size.
I wanted to have the opportunity to at least
have a chance to think about owning
them and if I waited they would
certainly be gone.
I could feel the panic well up in me as I thought
of simply leaving the store with out them
so into the cart they went and off to
the cash register.
BIG SHOCKER:
Once I was home, and the panic was gone,
I decided I really didn't like them
and back to the store they are going.
My will power may have failed me
but in the long run I am proud of
myself for not keeping something
just because I want that designer feeling.

Good for you! If you don't love it, it's not meant to be. But what I do LOVE is your jacket! This is a great color on you too :)

Good for you! Sometimes all you're paying for the is the designer name and the brand--not really the quality or the style of the outfit.
ReplyDeleteHey, this jacket is probably worth a lot more in your wardrobe than the missoni stuff, right?
What a cute blazer!! I wasn't a huge fan of any of the missoni stuff either--hmmm. A little too busy? A little too expensive? I guess I'll never know!
ReplyDeleteHow's school going so far?!

Ha, I did the same thing...I was in such a panic that there were SO few items left that i bought 2 Missoni items...they were returned promptly the next day when I looked in the bag and thought, what the hell was I thinking? I didn't even LIKE the items I got...I was panicked, obviously...lol.
