Have you found anything that you'll be delighted to receive this season?

I picked up a few things for myself, because I've been really good this year, LOL.

Cotton sweater, from LLB-

A new pair of boots, in Marsala, from Tibi-

Echo paisley silk scarf-

Anne Klein pin-

Fleece pajama pants, from LLB-

If you haven't purchased anything for yourself, is there something fashion related that you're hoping to get?

I like when a caller explains that her purchase is "to me, from me" the host invariably congratulates them, as if to say "you go girl, you deserve it!!" Meanwhile the host is thinking "ka-ching!! what else can I help you with??"

@lolakimono. I love for Santa to bring me everything except the pants. I have large hips so I usually buy neutral solid colors only for my pants. I do wear quiet prints in tops, jackets and sweaters. I love your color pallette.

Thank you so much for all of research you do for us. You have shown me items I would never think of trying. I stepped out of my comfort zone and checked them out. I know my style and have always been complimented by the ladies in my life but even at 72 an older gal can learn and enjoy new things. Your work is much appreciated.

How often would you really wear pink boots? Before I buy a clothing item I usually think hard about if I will get enough wear out of it to be value for the money.

I bought this bracelet and have been wearing it since I received it at the end of November (no control here).

I was near the end of my bottle of Unconditional Love so I ordered the recent Philosophy TSV (perfume, moisturizer, shower/bath gel).

I bought a third pair of my favorite Camuto boot from HSN - their clearance is rocking right now.

I bought this Patricia Nash pouch and these socks from a recent Macy's sale, lol.

I think that's it, he he he

I COULD wear pink everyday, as it's my favorite color, but I've worn them four times since I got them, less than 2 weeks ago.

@lolakimono

I'm not a pink person but those boots are devine ...

I've surprised myself in that I haven't been shopping (or even looking) for anything for me ... not really in the mood.

i picked up more than a few things but not much from here. I like sales. I was scanning my purchases and it said one was delivered that I did not get. In fact it was a noontime special and were out of it--santa claus kittens. can't prove it. another one said it was sitting in the post office. Both were 3 months ago. Will get a refund on the later. I would pay for the kittens again

You keep forgetting that everyone is not you and wants to live an austere life. If you're so happy with your financial choices of frugality and self-denial then why question others choices?

This is is a shopping board, not a clutch your pennies savings forum.

@lolakimono I love the boots and could wear pink every day!

@freakygirl

The bracelet and boots were clearance - scored great prices.

The Philosophy TSV will carry me until some time in 2018, seriously.

The pouch and socks were a great sale.

I'll pay full price for others. When I buy for myself, I wait for sales and clearance - makes the purchase more gratifying when I know I saved money.

Recently I saw these in London (in 2 color combos)

I can only imagine the thud if the retail price were posted.

@lolakimono

Enjoy....on your legs these will be lovely.

@Bird mama

I love this clutch

I bought those VC's shooties yesterday.

@lulu2

I got the PN pouch/clutch from Macy's. Was $79, dropped to $59.25 and then I got another 20% off.

I own the VC booties in the dark brown, the black suede and then ordered the english taupe. They are comfy as all get out (to me).

I have never shopped on their website before. They have some cute stuff. I just don't think I could pay those prices.
