Things I Bought Thursdays -- The Sale at Barneys is Freakin Killing Me Edition





First it was the sandals and the clucth, now I've fallen prey to this Vena Cava dress, which was was marked 70% off at that insanely good (dangerous) Barneys spring sale.

But did I need it? No. I clearly have no will power friends. I'm weak, sad... but I have to say, I'm kinda in love with the dress.

    If you're trying not to buy so much, I'm a bad person to be commenting because I think buying this dress was a brilliant choice. So pretty.

    ugh, you and me both...when barneys decides to sale, it's serious business. i'm still jealous of that gorgeous clutch you got - such a find! and the new VC dress is awesome...definitely a must-buy at 70% off.

    The homemade necklace (weekend craft) and a deeply discounted frock... sister, I would say you rock to have scored such a find at Barneys. Do you think they do well in Dallas? With Neimans and all? Don't get me wrong, the sales are fantastic, but Barneys did make a run at Dallas a decade ago and failed. Fingers and toes collectively crossed for their success. We love the sales.

    mb -- i hope barneys does well in dallas...i'm with you, fingers and toes majorly crossed. NM always seems way more crowded, but i'm thinking barneys might have a more stealth customer.

    wishful thinking!

    Oh, but what a dress... and won't it go with those new shoes perhaps? So, you had to get it, right??

    I just succumbed to the Nordstrom's sale myself...
