Ash, you have the best taste. And I'm jealous that you can actually wear that stuff, while I couldn't in a million years.

kayrae · 11-12-2008, 08:31 PM

I agree with QueenB. Those shoes are fantastic.

and i ditto the others. those shoes are gorgeous, ash!

Cors · 11-13-2008, 06:22 AM

Ash's fab purchases make me demand pictures like a creepy old man. :O

thatgirl08 · 11-13-2008, 01:07 PM

I went Christmas shopping on Tuesday and somehow came home with this for myself:

& a cardigan in a similar color. Both of which were on clearance at Old Navy. [Note to self: I can still fit into most of the XXL's in regular sizes at ON.] I got this tank top, the cardigan and a tank top for my friend all for $18 dollars.

CAN YOU BEAT THAT? I think not.

Yes, aren't the shoes lovely?

My only concern is that with my wide (and sometimes swollen)feet, they might be uncomfortable...I just had to have them though. I'm taking my chances (and keeping my fingers crossed).

Cors · 11-13-2008, 06:42 PM

Aww, they are gorgeous and probably worth it. Do you have a shoe stretcher?

Stretch them by stuffing the toebox with scrunched up socks when not in use and walk around in them at home wearing the same thick socks! If the fit is fine lengthwise you can just wear half a sock. A tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on the inside helps with the stretch too, but be sure to test out on a small spot first since it can mess with leather.

I do have a shoe stretcher...but sometimes with fat feet, there is just no amount of stretching that will help. I'm going to try it though.

Donna · 11-13-2008, 06:45 PM

Bought these last night...and I am pretty sure I don't want to be around when the credit card bill comes next month.....

Weeze · 11-13-2008, 09:38 PM

Kudos to the ladies of this thread.

we're stimulating the economy, right? hahaha.

Tina · 11-13-2008, 11:43 PM

Donna, MIB? Very nice!

Heh. The only things I really get to buy are jewelry supplies.

But, I thought that I'd post anyway, as it's the only way I'll get to participate.

I bought these today...

AtlantisAK · 11-14-2008, 01:17 AM

I bought this shrug on ebay and finaly got it in today.

Shoulda bought it in a 3x, but it's still cute. I'm sure I can modify it if needed for a lil extra room and longer sleeves.
EDIT: Oh, I also got a really cute plain black dress...Will post pics of it since there arent any on the web. I got it from Target for like, $12.

Cors · 11-14-2008, 02:34 AM

Grey knit cardigan dress!

cherylharrell · 11-14-2008, 12:22 PM

Where'd ya'll get the shrug and the cardigan dress. Those are so cute. So is some of the other stuff in this thread...

I LOVE that. When your figure has as many lumps and bumps as mine a thin knit like that never sits smoothly, but I love how they look.

No-No-Badkitty · 11-14-2008, 01:07 PM

I bought several corset tops from Torrid and some really neat skirts from Hottopic. If I get to wear any this weekend maybe I can con my husband into trying to take my picture

Maybe

SamanthaNY · 11-14-2008, 01:56 PM

Much shinier in person - brown patent (they come in other colors and leathers - and I want them all) with slight metallic bordeaux feeling.... just a feeling, mind you... to it. And some copper, if you glance quickly.

And... they're like buttah.

I agree, on both counts, Tracey. I remember seeing stuff like this in the 70s, only with very tight stovepipe-legged jeans underneath and thigh high suede boots. And sometimes, when chilly, with a thin turtle- or cowl-necked sweater underneath. I YEARNED to be able to wear something like it, but back then, the only things in my size were ugly.

MissToodles · 11-14-2008, 02:32 PM

The bra below from lane bryant. My old one is falling apart and I think I was wearing the wrong cup size. I wish I could buy a matching shirt for it, but oh well, it's for private viewing only.

And where might one find these, Ms. Samantha?

Me likes!

They're by Bernardo (I wasn't familiar with the brand, but apparently it's well thought of), and I got them from Nordies. I can't rave enough how well they fit. I have a fairly wide, fat foot resulting in most footwear having a break-in period... but not these. Instantly comfy.

So well made... will last years. So worth the price.
