Fashion

[Roscoe the Rascal]

Not for me.  I'm not spending that kind of money on what I call a fad.  Best time to buy stuff is on lunchtime specials any more.  

Everyone has a choice and I do like watching the fashion shows the best.  I have been know to spend a pretty penny on something I really want and wear and no regrets.

Just purge your closets and it will have you thinking twice how much money you spend on clothes.  Does it for me.  

New line but so far nothing for me but lots of people out there watching and I am sure plenty of ladies loving it.  I never say never and use to think that about LG and now have a few of those pieces as well.

New lines are a good thing too.

Embroidered denim is in big demand right now.  

Billy T fashion is very popular, and continually sold out on it's website, and Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, etc.  QVC carries Billy T as well, and the prices are even higher than this Driftwood Jeans brand.

I checked Macy's for similar styles and typical pricing is around $200, depending on the item.

Here's the Driftwood brand (not sure if it's the same Driftwood Jeans on QVC) at Anthropologie.  

Embroidered jacket -- $178.

Embroidered Shorts -- $148

Nordstrom / Jag Jeans -- $88

I am glad I have plenty of clothes. These prices are too much for me. I have some embroidered denim from Laurie Felt and I will be satisfied with that.

The new line has some cute items; it is just way more than I am willing to pay. Like, for a pair of shorts with embroidery, I think $30 or $35 would be fair, not $100. For crops, $40 or $50. That is just my opinion and I know it can depend where you live and what is comparable.

A couple of months ago I was contemplating buying a Billy T embroidered denim shirt because I love a lot of the designs.  But I ultimately decided the prices were not what I was going to pay.

If you remember Martha Stewart's line on QVC, she had some fabulous embroidered denim jeans, and I have two pairs.  She did it just the way I love it --- asymmetrical design (only one leg), and not too much of it, with exceptional embroidery.  I still get compliments on them.

There's very few DG2 embroidered designs I've ever liked on HSN because Diane Gilman preferred an over-abundance of embroidery, and she usually had it mirrored on both legs.  I don't like any of that.

I did just buy a DG2 embroidered jean jacket with tonal-colored stars just down the sleeves.

I'm not tempted, yet, by this Driftwood Jeans brand.  But I'm still looking forward to the presentations.

@Desert Lily   OMG, I love the espadrilles!

[Effie54]

I just saw the offerings. While I don't care for flare or boot cut jeans ever, I thought the tops were cute, but pricey. It reminds me a little of the DG2 embroidered pieces.

Thanks for the photos and other options.

I gues 'I'm behind the times' regarding pricing.

Thinking about it, it's extra - time consuming to manufacture embroidered clothing.

I do like all (or most) of the various options.

I just remembered I have several embroided denim jackets in the closet.

Quacker Factory

Indigo Moon

Chico's

Denim & Co.

Coldwater Creek.

Sandy Starkman

I've had them for years and years!  I usually wear them once or twice a year.  Too easy to "overdo" a piece like that.
