yellow journa-LIZ-em

It was recently announced that Issac Mizrahi's line (newest designer for Liz Claiborne) will now only be available at QVC, meaning, I will never see his clothing in a store ever again. It was sad enough to see the empty hole he left at Target last year. So this week my obsession is to obtain the most iconic Liz pieces before he vanishes from Herberger's and Macy's (oops, I almost said Dayton's). I like how Isaac brought back this original Liz print from the 80s:

I am a sucker for anything cordouroy, and this jacket, even though it is yellow, has got me thinking "I need that now!"

Yellow can be a bad color on a lot of people, but if you put a brightly colored shirt between the yellow and your skintone, it can work. About a month ago, I saw these at the GAP.

The jacket is no longer available online, but the pants are.

I have big brown super high shoes. I'm pretty sure all of this will be on clearance by now, because no practical person would buy this color.

Elephant Gray

I visited these boots the customary 3 plus times before plunking down 91 dollars cash in from my secret stash in my purse. Having that exact amout left shows that this purchase was meant to be! (the downside is that the stash is depleted). When the salesperson told me that the color was called "elephant gray", I was sold. (if it was called "toxic waste dump gray", I'd still have $91 bucks in my purse.

shoe closure

Got the brown ones online through Dillards.com. Original price over $90 bucks. Then $26 plus shipping. I noticed this week the price is back up to $53??? It's that wierd online pricing thing frugal jo was talking about.

Anthropologie Marimekko Sundress

I scored another great item in Boise for ten bucks (it was $158 new)! Demand for Swedish fashion must be low in Idaho, as they had several sizes to choose from.
