I don't think I ever think about that because that'll pressure me too much and take the fun out of dressing up, but at the same time, thinking smart about these things might actually help you feel better if you make large purchases lol. <br /><br />I can't believe no one commented on the 3 watches! That's just odd. Maybe they're used to you wearing something unusual for them (which is normal and fashionable for us) that they ignore just about everything. Haha. That reminds me of an episode in The Office where the characters noticed that this one guy Stanley didn't notice the things, however crazy, going on around him because he just got so used to them. They started doing extremely crazy things to get him to notice them, but he still didn't flinch!! <br /><br />What a steal from Kohl's! I feel like you need to be congratulated and to all the other bloggers who find such an incredible stuff for such low prices. :)À LA MODESThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024463206038427478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551650242422472428.post-28604782214396935822010-11-10T10:45:42.841-05:002010-11-10T10:45:42.841-05:00I'm in love with this outfit of yours, you loo...I'm in love with this outfit of yours, you look just perfect!<br />The jacket is lovely and fits you really well and those watches add a nice twist to the look!

I took a similar inventory this weekend when I was putting together my list of 30 items for the 30 for 30 challenge - I noticed that some of them had already made 5-6 appearances on the blog just since August!<br /><br />It's funny that no one in your office said anything about 3 watches.
