PSA: Kate Spade Surprise Sale

[Awkward]

(Hope the link works) The dress I wanted was out of stock in my size, so I got two necklaces instead. I can't figure out how to pip from their site, but I got the Tutti Frutti Collar Necklace and the Bauble Box Short Necklace.

I saw that thios morning. I am really tempted to get a new bag, even though it's not really in the budget.

[raangoli]

Ahhh. Must. Resist.

[cahabalily]

Oh, thanks! I just ordered the Victoria Falls Maryanne. Probably should have waited, but I haven't purchased a new purse or bag in over 3 years. (After figuring that out, I have zero buyer's remorse!)

[y4m]

Could I wear a zebra dress to work?

I am eyeing the one too in the Sidewalk color. I'm just nervous to pull the trigger. Which color did you pick?

I bought the Victoria Falls Maryanne in the Sidewalk color.

Definitely! But the material is linen. I love the pattern and the shape of the dress but wrinkly linen drives me crazy.

[indylady]

I got the Tutti Frutti necklace too! And the Gold Coast Elizabeth in the hot pink color.

This is what stopped me too. I love natural fabrics, but 100% linen drives me CRAZY.

I got a second Cobble Hill Kori. I loved it so much in Cinnabar, might as well get it in black....

I have it in Cinnabar, too. SO tempted to buy the black!

I chose Spice...pop of color, but think (hope) it's classic enough to span all seasons, and multiple years since clearly I don't purse shop enough

I just caved and bought a bag, but I already forget the name. I think it had "sierra" in the title. Anyway, it's in the top left hand corner and is a large, quilted leather black bag. I have no business spending the money, but I figure it's a classic and will last for years. (and I really, really wanted it).

[WOT?*]

I was considering this but I already have one medium sized quilted black Kate Spade bag so I couldn't warrant it. I'm seriously considering the Maryanne though, debating on Sidewalk and Goldenrod. I have lots of neutral so I'm considering a pop of color. Choices choices.

I lied...I got the grant park Manuela in eggplant. I hope I love it! I decided that $70 for a wallet was crazy and held back

I am really eyeing that exact one. I've wanted a purple hobo for a long time. But I shouldn't :-(

[Deleted]

I hate that all the fatty sizes are sold out. BOOOOOOO.

[rubytue]

I've been on the same green Fossil tote for over a year (as my go-to purse, I have a few others I mix up with if I need something smaller).

I mean, I shouldn't.

But I could.

I could get rid of the one I bought from Wilsons leather. Its purple. And a hobo. But a bit too large and not quite what I wanted.

OTOH, my birthday just past, I I already pulled the trick where I ordered stuff for my dog to give me.

[rubytue]

Well, I tried to be more obvious. The package was addressed to DH, and the gift note said "psst wrap these up for your lovely wife."

He is the one that decided the dog did it.

eta: Ordered! There is a check from the ILs on the fridge that almost covers it (they are way too generous)

[5thofjuly]

DAMN YOU ALL (and the glass of wine I just steeled myself with to spend this much money!) Three purses later (as a "new job" gift to myself) here I sit. I like medium-sized purses, so I got the Villabella Avenue Elena in red and black/tan and Cambridge Stripe Small Karen in quail/midnight for casual days.
