On the other hand, in my case it may be my age showing: a young woman with a nice figure looks great in things that I'd be scared to put on.<br /><br />The question is, given its vibrancy, will you still want to wear it in a year or two, or will you be sick of it? A sweater of that quality should last several years. If it does, $80 is a pretty good deal; but it can't be said to "last" if it's worn out its welcome in your closet.Funny about Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188173788063351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-63700287680647839452010-01-08T15:23:11.170-06:002010-01-08T15:23:11.170-06:00"We save on so many other things" is the..."We save on so many other things" is the key comment to me. Saving for the sake of saving is pathological (Sorry Frugual, but you said it first, and you know I say it fondly). Saving so you can sometimes enjoy something that lifts your heart, or does good for someone else, is to me the whole point. <br /><br />When I am captivated I do sleep on it (there is love and there is infatuation) but sometimes you have to act fast.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-86786975462388314112010-01-08T12:34:52.838-06:002010-01-08T12:34:52.838-06:00Sorry, if I'm honest, it doesn't do much f...Sorry, if I'm honest, it doesn't do much for me. I do like the knitted detail at the waist and cuffs, mind. I think it is the vibrant tie-dye part that I wouldn't consider putting on me. It might look great on the right person. What it does make me itch a little for -- as does a great deal of the stuff that tempts me like this obviously does you -- is to try to figure out how to make it myself. I would be on cloud 9 if I knew how to make 1% of the the stuff that I drool over (mostly because it looks like I should be able to). But maybe you aren't that way inclined. <br /><br />Well done you for building those resistance muscles. They will serve you well. As frugal as I am about most things, however, I live in a bigger than I need house and we travel a lot. What are you saving for?Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.com
