Help me Spend Boutique Credit (PIP)

[preppy]

I have a credit to shop where I work for up to $500. I can't decide what to buy, help!

These DL jeans I have on are a definite yes ($158). They fit well, are a good wash, and don't need to be hemmed. This blouse is Joie ($188) and the scarf is an infinity scarf by Lilly Pulitzer ($88).


These are the same jeans and a diff Joie blouse ($198)


I also like this Lilly elephant print top ($58) and Lilly pink jeans ($148)-obviously not together.


I also like this striped Lilly dress ($98)


So if you were to add stuff up in these pictures to about $500 (if it's a little over I am okay with it) what would you pick?

This is what I would pick

Jeans - 158
Blue Top - 198
Elephant Top - 58
Dress - 98

BAM! $512

Maybe is the pink jeans.

No's are the elephant tank and the white s/s Joie blouse.

Your musts were what I am leaning towards.

Ahh I like them all. I have such first world problems.

This is why I can never work in retail. I would be in the hole even after the paycheck. The temptation would overcome me all the time.

I am pretty good about it. This was a credit she gave me for extra work I did for her, such a tough life;)

I love the blue joie, the scarf, the jeans. And the dress is cute too!

I have a very p/t second job in retail. I make negative dollars. But I get half off my clothes!

My opinions are:

DL Jeans
Blue Joie top
Elephant top
Dress

I like the white blouse but not how sheer it is. Is it available in another color?

Have fun shopping!

I agree with Mav's musts, although I think the elephant top is adorable and might add that in.

I like everything but if you had to pick a few pieces I'd get the blue blouse. That color blue is gorgeous. That Elephant top is so cute. I think I'd get the dark jeans vs. the pink ones. More versatile I suppose. And the dress.

[wawa]

dress, scarf, not-pink jeans, blue blouse which I think is the same as mav's list? it comes out to 542.

Jeans, infinity scarf, blue Joie blouse (the white is very blah), and the striped dress.

I'm leaning this way. I could go either way on the elephant top and the scarf, but nearly $100 for a scarf makes me ill. Can you spend some now and some later?

[preppy]

Okay I was wrong the scarf if $68, not $88. So thats good.

I think that I going with the jeans, scarf, the blue joie blouse, and the striped dress. Total is $522. $22 out of pocket for all that isn't a bad deal! I am excited, jeans were on my list! I have always wanted a Joie, but even with my discount I couldn't pull the trigger. But for free I am splurging!

Thanks for all the advice:)

I vote for the jeans that you've already decided on, the blue Joie top, the dress, and the scarf.

[amandasw]

man, these kinds of posts make me wish I didn't work in a lab! love all the stuff you picked out

[blondemoment123]

Love the jeans, elephant top, and striped dress. I don't care for the Joie tops.
