Felled at the first post

 So much for my resolution. I saw Erica's post about the Stel's sale and couldn't resist getting these rachel Comey pants. I'd thought about getting them earlier in the fall, even though I've never seen them in any store. At a hair over $100, I couldn't resist, especially as I am very low on pants. Of course, I just hope they fit and look as good in real life.

Stel's sale wasn't the only threat to my resolution. It's the Lyell sample sale on Saturday and I'm meeting Caroline to see what I can find. I'd like to get one of the short sleeved cardigans from SS 09 if any are left, possibly the sleeveless sweater, and maybe a scallop peacoat (this would have to be the very last peacoat other than the one from SS 07 on my Mayle wishlist that will never turn up in my size). I am also interested in the wrap blouse if it fits and is cheap and the crocheted dress which I think may have sold out.  I very much doubt they will have much stock and expect I'll get very littl given that the press get the first bite. Besides her production was so limited this season that there won't be much to sell. I also suspect that a lot of the fall stock won't be in the sale. I got the final size 8 purple wool gathered skirt (which I wore today with my old Lyell polka dot blouse from FW 05 and a black J. Crew cashmere turteneck sweater), so even if it is reduced, it won't be in my size.

And I so need shoes. That one seems not to be happening.

Tomorrow, I get to meet up with Marti for lunch and shopping. It should be fun!
