Cupcakes and Cashmere

Not So Mellow Yellow

May 14th, 2008

I have, what some would consider, a love/hate relationship with sales. Though I’m always game to save money, I frequently end up questioning whether I’ve made a purchase because it’s something I want (I rarely need anything), or simply because it’s cheaper than usual. I can rest easy knowing that this is not the case with J.Crew’s Cashmere Argyle Ruffle Cardigan. A couple of months ago, I saw a woman wearing this yellow version and actually trotted after her hoping to find out where it was from. Sadly, she disappeared around a corner and I didn’t feel like flying after her. Luckily for me, I’ve reconnected with the sweater of my dreams, that’s such a playful take on the classic argyle cardigan. And, despite the newly reduced price of $95.99, it’s nice to know that I would have easily shelled out the extra $82 had I located it sooner.

    my boss once told me that you should never buy something on sale that you wouldn’t buy if it was full price. this takes some restraint (granted) but it has definately kept me from some disastrous purchases.
