My Rachel Zoe Project

Very rarely do a I regret not making a purchase. (Usually it is the opposite and regret making it!) But, a year or so ago I was at Coplon's for their big 90% of sale. I did pick up a few things, but the thing I most wanted was not on sale. It was the most fabulous pair of dressy slacks ever. They were sheer, long and wide legged. The waist was ruched with a huge bow. They were definitely an investment item. And, if Glenn has heard me bemoan not buying them once, he's heard it 100 times. So, the other afternoon when my mother in law invited me to meet her at Coplon's for a Rachel Zoe trunk show Glenn suggested I at least look to see if they had similiar pants and if so, please get them.

Well, I went with intention of looking, not trying on anything, much less making purchases. Weeeelllll.......I found the second best pair of dressy slacks ever! They are Tadashi and sheer, long, wide legged with a silky, split up the side of each leg lined....they made me look tall and (somewhat) thin. I came out of the dressing room gushing. Well, Bruce the owner, insisted I try on the Rachel Zoe top pictured here (along with a gorgeous pair of black Jimmy Choos). And, I think I actually squeeled before I came out this time. I called Glenn and asked if he would get me this for Christmas and he agreed. (He also agreed I can wear it early to a Christmas party in December). I begrudgingly put back the Jimmy Choos since Glenn informed me that our closet can't handle more shoes.

As we kept looking, Belinda and Hilda encouraged me to try on another blouse and a cashmere cape. Those are also going to be (the blouse an early) Christmas present. Yay!

So, my "looking" venture turned into way more shopping than I planned. Added bonus --- we were given really cute, simple Rachel Zoe travel make up bags. :)
