I have a pair of black suede Stuart Weitzman platform heels that I have had for over 4 years. They have been repaired once already and they are starting to show wear. I think I may have to justify a new shoe purchase myself! :)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-28713125814551595572010-11-16T16:22:47.807-08:002010-11-16T16:22:47.807-08:00Andi,

Of course, I justified my purchase by reasoning that the shoes will replace another pair of mine that are really too delicate to wear. I think that’s a valid excuse, don’t you? :-)Jitterbugdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659563812074455023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-75908556751648863572010-11-15T21:45:48.822-08:002010-11-15T21:45:48.822-08:00Oooh!

For example, I was making a simple circle skirt this weekend using cotton madras plaid fabric and when it came to hemming, I stopped. I have no idea what I am doing! Cutting the pattern, stitching the sides, making the waistband, and filling the waist with elastic was all easy but that circle hem is beyond me. I need to research how to hem the skirt without ruining it! <br /><br />As for the prices, I used to be very frivolous when it came to buying. Now, I am all about the 'deal.' I really cannot believe I bought the beaded sweater for 13.11 USD!!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-66196063419121548462010-11-15T12:35:35.642-08:002010-11-15T12:35:35.642-08:00Susan,

I love the beaded dresses and the gamine style of the 20s! I have 20s reproduction, black beaded dress overlay. It is so pretty and so heavy! I wore the dress over a long rust-colored tank lining for Halloween in 2006 and 2007.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-51265775335930669312010-11-15T12:31:56.477-08:002010-11-15T12:31:56.477-08:00Fiona,
