I just sent an email to a popular local magazine asking if I can get a free make-over. I told them that I am a person you can call ‘PLAIN’ – nothing striking about me. I can settle with jeans, shirts and flip-flops. I told them that my preference on clothes has gotten worse over the past year since I no longer leave home for work. I want a make-over because I want to let the world know that one can be still look and feel fabulous even if they are just at home.
And just moments after I sent the email I got a notice that I received a $500 giftcard from Talbots! I went crazy checking for things on their site so I can maximize the $500.
I am a wide reader, my vocabulary do not do justice to it though. I easily remember photos but not words so my vocabulary hasn’t grown for the like, 10 years already? I would check new clothes and accessories in most sites and crazy it may seem but I enjoy the daily confessions in Red Chair Confessions so I want to covet things they post on their site. I used to think, “oh…if only I could!” but now that I have $500 to splurge on things for myself, I guess I don’t need to feel guilty, right?
To start with, I need new pairs of new shoes – flats and boots. I can not wear heels with a little girl tagging along with me so I definitely need new flats and boots when I’m on a girl’s night out.
Bowtie Flats $54.99 – I always wanted to get one of these from a local brand but I always put off buying since local shoes do not always survive my feet.
Wingtip boots $179.99 – I could not find of these locally. I need these when I go out alone, to add more flair to my outfit.
Tumbled Hobo Bag $179 – I need a trendy bag but big enough for my little girl’s needs like milk bottle and stuff.
Enamel Bracelet $49 to complete the get-up. I am so in love with bracelets that I can not leave home without it!
That’s it! How about you, what will you buy from Talbots if you were given $500 gift card?
