Another Splurge

Today is the last day of tobi.com's additional 30% off already marked down items (use code Extra30 at checkout, something I nearly forgot to do). There were several items I wanted but because of my J. Crew splurge and the 50% discount on Criterion Collection dvds at Barnes and Noble, I really couldn't justify more than one item--even one was pushing it. So I slept on it last night, chatted to Cindy and Joyce and decided to get the Rachel Comey sailor dress that I have coveted since seeing it in Coclico earlier this summer. The print has a lovely sheen, I love nautically inspired items and the sleeves and back are irresistible. Let's hope it fits! Given how small this season's Rachel Comey has been running, it was just as well that only the size L was left. At $154 (down from $440), I think this was an acceptable splurge, and one that I can use birthday money to cover.
