Shopping on your lunch hour, if you work downtown, can be a great way to get out of the office, get some exercise, and get something accomplished. Tomorrow, however, you can shop your lunch hour for some great deals without ever leaving your desk. Or while the kiddos nap.
Not only that, but in the same email: $5 Belts at Wilsons Leather – Hurry While Supplies Last! I have not found the $5 belts yet, perhaps the markdown is scheduled for tomorrow, but there are some good options currently priced at $10.20.
How about this one for me?
In addition to some great deals on accessories (gloves anyone?), they have quite a few $35 leather coats. This one decidedly falls in the leisure lifestyle category, no matter how cute it is.
(And it comes in x-small!)
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to suggest an outfit (or two or three) featuring either of these items.
I’m not so good at coming up with outfits but I have a passion for silver with brown and also blues with browns. Maybe with some cordovan thrown in. And something light like a vanilla or a light pewter satin shirt, to catch the light.
I guess I’m a little afraid I wouldn’t wear the jacket enough. I think it needs a simple jeans and shirt combo and maybe a pair of old-school sneakers. Hey, wait a minute, I could wear that! But could I wear it everyday? Or at least enough to get my money’s worth out of it.
Probably.
I would wear the jacket on a cool-ish spring night with a flowy white sundress and espadrilles.
As for the belt… what wouldn’t it go with? Isn’t the beloved Stacy London always saying that silver is a neutral? 🙂
Emily, I never would have thought of the dress, or probably worn it ;), but what a fabulous idea! I agree about the belt, lately I have been wanting a little narrow (that’s redundant, isn’t it?) sparkly light colored belt. If I can get it for $5 – Woo Hoo!
I’m so thankful! I’m really so much better today! Basically back to normal, only tiny bit sore. Of course, I’ll continue to be careful. But now I can plan when I can go shopping! Oh, I guess the other trick is we are down a car. But one of the ladies has a short day of school tomorrow. I am so thankful I didn’t end up having to go to the doctor (that would seriously cut into my available funds)!
Love Emily’s idea. Rebecca, you could wear that with a crisp dress with a straight skirt, instead!
Thanks, Rebecca for the Wilson’s lunchtime offer and for pre-shopping for us. 🙂 I really need a few slim belts and metallic is always a neutral for me. I got the pewter – hoping it was pewter but if it’s too shiny, well, it’s slim. Just a glint. And got the same in what they call “black”, which looks like a mix of black and more golden/bronzey metallic. That will go with a lot of what I wear. Since that was all I got, it was half off with the coupon code! Well within my comfort level.
Yay!
I am seriously considering buying the jacket. Yesterday I washed my rose suede blazer and it came out with spots! Ugh! I washed my Eddie Bauer suede jean jacket in the same load and it came out fine! I guess I had better decide soon. 🙂
So I went to Wilsons Leather (online) and tried to order the belt, but they didn’t have small. I am picturing it worn at the waist, so I don’t think I’d be happy with the medium. *!#!* That is a really good deal!
A perfectionist view is 5″ of belt end beyond the buckle. But on whom? I would think this would vary by size and build. Anyway, I suppose it would be a gamble, but someone could easily punch an extra hole or two. I do this all the time. When I get too long a tail then I frequently loop it loosely over and under the belt making a “knot.”
I also like the idea of getting two thin belts, a little on the large side, and buckling them together to make them go around you twice.
Sorry about your suede washing bad surprise.
I have never seen that, but I like the idea!
