My New Laptop Bag

thepoorgirl — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 00:20:12 +0000

from Crate and Barrel

I have a Mac laptop. Since Apple has decided to suck every last dime out of us, they went ahead and made all their computers weird sizes, thus forcing you into their stores to buy their product (evil geniuses). So its been hard to find a bag that 1. fits my computer and accessories and 2. is not heinously ugly. Enter Crate and Barrel. I was getting my ipod fixed (and hating life) when I decided to take a walk to Crate and Barrel. In the back corner of the store was this lonely little bag in the prettiest shade of teal. Low and behold it was on SALE! A Christmas miracle if you ask me. So I snatched up that bag and headed to the counter. Merry Christmas to me.

Large tote – on sale for $59.

Holiday Gift Ideas: New watch

This watch is so awesome. It’s on the higher side of Poor Girl but still doable.

Yes Please, LL. Bean!

Who knew LL.Bean had such cute bags?At under $300 they’re not exactly “Poor Girl” friendly, but not totally out of the question either (if your still have available credit).

New Purchase

From Shop Ruche

Normally these shoes would not be thing, but lately I’ve decided to step out of my fashion comfort zone and make a change. I’m not positive that I can pull these off, but they were $40 so I’m going to try. Do you think I can wear these with a dress??

From AmiClubWear

Let me just say Ami Club Wear sounds like it’s a warehouse for hooker uniforms. But when it comes to affordable footwear, we don’t judge. The adorable peep toes, only $16. That’s their actual price! Amazing right? Fair warning, I haven’t checked out the whole site, so it might have some sketchy items. Maybe don’t browse at work.

Clothes for the Poor

Since I gave Anthro a little love and posted about my dream jacket, I figure I should follow up with things we can actually afford, right? So here we go.

from Ruche.com

This whole look, the dress, the sweater, coat, ring, leg warmers, comes in LESS then the sale price on my dream jacket, $114 to be exact. (Note: the boots are #156.99, so I left them off, although, they are adorable!)

Shop the look here.

from Bloom and Barnacle

I love this little ghost. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m pretty big holiday girl. I know that buying holiday decorations may seem like a waste of money, but I promise you it’s not. Look for one-of-a-kind pieces like these and splurge. It’s the kind of thing that you’ll look back on every year and cherish more and more. Stop by Bloom and Barnacle and start a collection or get some inspiration.
